Greater precision in every manual brewing method
Alternatives Advanced Individual Training is an advanced one-to-one coffee brewing course created for people who already have experience with manual brewing methods and want to develop a deeper understanding of extraction. Under the guidance of a JAVA University trainer, you will learn how to evaluate a brew, adjust recipes with purpose and use precise measurements to achieve consistent results.
During the course, you will explore how water mineral composition, brew ratio, turbulence and pouring technique influence the flavour of coffee. You will also compare different drippers and develop an optimal recipe tailored to a specific coffee and brewing method.
What will you learn?
You will develop your sensory skills and learn how to evaluate the influence of individual variables on extraction. You will discover how to use a refractometer, interpret %TDS and %EXT results and apply these measurements when creating and refining brewing recipes.
You will practise different V60 pouring techniques and compare coffees brewed simultaneously in several drippers. This will help you understand how brewer design, water flow and turbulence shape the final flavour profile.
