SCA Coffee Skills Program: Brewing Foundation

Join PCR as we host the Brewing Module of SCA’s Coffee Skills Program. This course will be taught by our dear friend & international barista trainer Zoey Thorson of Felix Roasting Company.

The Brewing Foundation course is designed to introduce core brewing skills and useful tools & equipment to people with little to no previous brewing experience. Students will gain valuable experience with basic extraction principles, while learning to identify common flavor profiles produced by different brewing methods. By the end of the class, you will come away able to brew coffees using the appropriate recipes, tools, and necessary information. Our goal is to teach you how to produce great coffee for any brew method or device with tangible data to guide you through the process.

Topics covered in this course include:

Introduction to Coffee
Brewing Guidelines
Brewing Methods & Equipment
