Coffee Tasting and Cupping Course in Cagliari

Duration: 1 day – 4 hours in total (3:30–7:30 pm)

Format: In person (max. 3 participants)

Learn the basics of coffee tasting on a course that gives you a complete overview, in theory and in practice, of the techniques and tools professionals use to judge the quality of coffee in the cup.

You will see how a tasting session is set up, from the official cupping protocols to the sensory evaluation of espresso.

What you will learn

In the first part of the course you will train your senses to recognise the basic tastes of coffee: sweetness, acidity, bitterness and body (yes, the one you feel in your mouth, not the sugar sinking to the bottom).

Then we will guide you through aromas, both the good ones, like floral, fruity or caramel notes, and the common defects, so you can tell quality from mediocrity.

In the practical part you will put your new skills to the test by tasting different origins and coffee profiles, with focused, side-by-side exercises.
By the end of the course you will be able to approach coffee with the sensitivity and awareness of a professional taster.
