The final and most crucial step in the journey of coffee is how the coffee is brewed. Therefore, at Cafeology we pay particular attention to training and want to share our knowledge and expertise in ways that will help people understand the fabulous journey coffee travels and then how to extract the very best flavours consistently.
We understand that many of our customers have differing needs and are at various stages of their own coffee journey. We have therefore, developed a set of courses and modules which focus on specific areas, so you are easily able to select the right training and experience.
Speciality Coffee Association
In February 2019, our brand-new state of the art roasting, training and warehouse facility – Roastology, was awarded ‘Premier Training Campus’ accreditation by the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA).
This standard of achievement for Roastology demonstrates our commitment to quality learning and that we have all the correct equipment, space and materials needed to deliver the SCA’s exceptionally high standards and protocols.
We will shortly be adding recognised courses from the SCA Coffee Skills Diploma that will be delivered by independent Authorised SCA Trainers, so watch this space.

Introduction to Coffee
Learn about coffees journey from its origins in Ethiopia to the major commodity it is today. From growing the cherries through grading, roasting, and brewing, this module provides an overview of the coffee value chain.
Introduction to Barista
This course will introduce you to the world of a barista. The aim is to take a total novice and give you the skills required to deliver an espresso-based drinks menu and operate a traditional espresso machine successfully.
Milk & Latte Art
As most drinks served in a café today are milk based, we have developed a course that focuses exclusively on milk and getting the most out of this key ingredient. The aim of the course is to take an existing barista and refine their milk foam technique to achieve more consistent results and then latte art.
Advanced Barista
With this course, we get a little geekier and start focusing in on the variables impacting an espresso being good to constantly being great. We will go beyond the simple steps to produce an espresso, this course looks at extraction and how to control and influence the flavour more closely.
Blended Drinks, Chocolate & Syrups
Coffee is our main passion, but there are many more drinks available to serve to your customers. The course aims to take the mystery out of these drinks and help you deliver them to a higher level and with more consistency.
Home Brewing
This course is aimed at the avid coffee drinker who loves coffee, but doesn’t serve coffee to the public. This session will introduce you to how coffee can be brewed better at home and with more consistency. By learning more about the history of coffee and the journey it takes before you open a bag in your own home, you will feel better equipped
Roastery Experience
Learn about the journey of coffee from seed to cup, with particular focus on what we do in our Roastery to impact the flavour. You will follow a coffee through the journey it takes once it arrives with us in Sheffield, from sample roasting to final quality control of our coffees sold.
