Description

Why do you need to learn about how coffee is grown?

You have no doubt asked yourself “Where does coffee come from?”

For anyone who simply loves coffee – or wants to work with coffee – it's important to understand its roots (quite literally!)

You need to understand where in the world coffee is grown, what it all starts with (species and varieties), and what makes one coffee different from another.

This course, From Coffee Plant to Your Coffee Cup, will take you on the fascinating journey that coffee takes from seed to cup.

Learn with me, a university professor of coffee, the founder of the Latin American Coffee Academy, and the author of Permission to Slurp, a book on coffee tasting.

I will guide you through where coffee is grown, how good coffee is grown and processed, what it all starts with (species and varieties), and why those factors change the tastes in your coffee.

We’ll discuss a bit about coffee history, why coffee is so vital to people, how it impacts millions of lives around the world – and how you can change people’s lives.

I know this is a complex subject. But I’m going to help you understand it in a clear, easy, and memorable way.

Who needs this course?

Anyone who loves coffee. But even if you don’t love coffee, you probably want to understand what coffee lovers are raving about all the time.

Additionally, anyone who works with coffee needs to understand these basics. For instance:

  • If you're a coffee shop owner or have an online coffee business, customers will ask you how the coffee you sell was produced.

  • If you're a roaster, you need to understand how coffee is grown to be able to roast it and get fabulous tastes from it.

  • If you are a coffee exporter, you need to communicate effectively with coffee growers and understand them when they talk about coffee processes.

This course is a fantastic start for coffee exporters, coffee shop owners, coffee retailers, and roasters who want to get a better idea of where coffee comes from and why one coffee tastes different from another.

I’ll teach you the basics of coffee cultivation fast and easy.

This multimedia experience has videos, slide presentations, photos, actionable activities, and memory sheets to help you learn, remember, and use this vital information.

In this fun, dynamic, 1.5-hour course I'll help you understand the basics of coffee and coffee cultivation.

Welcome. Let’s get started learning about the roots of coffee.

Do you really need a course?

Can you learn about coffee without taking a course? Sure. There’s plenty of free stuff available online.

But the reality is that wading through everything on the internet takes time. And another reality for people just starting out is that they tend to wade around lost for a long time.

So you’ve no doubt thought of taking a course that leads you directly to the information you need. Taking a coffee course will save you lots of time.

If that is what you're looking for, this course is for you. From Coffee Plant to Your Coffee Cup, will help you get that overview of coffee cultivation that you need.

Fast, simple, and entertaining sounds good, right?

Let’s learn about coffee. I look forward to seeing you in the From Coffee Plant to Your Coffee Cup course! And if you're interested in receiving a free certificate of completion from the Latin American Coffee Academy, get in touch.

I love to hear from my students - send me an email or message with your coffee questions.

Why should you learn about coffee with a professor?

Frankly, why would you want to learn with anyone but an expert? I live in a coffee-producing country (Colombia) and worked as a coffee professor at the prestigious La Sabana University until I started my own coffee academy.

I have taught people from every continent - even coffee professionals! - about coffee in Latin America. I have years of experience taking a complicated subject and making it easy and fun.

That's why people call me The Coffee Lady (seriously, you can Google it).

Try the course out to see why most of my students give me a 5-star rating! I'm always here to support you and to answer all of your coffee questions.

What if you don't like coffee?

Many of my students don't actually like coffee! But they recognize that learning about coffee is an essential life skill...and along the way, some of them learn to love the brew.

What if your English isn't perfect?

My students live around the world and have learned English as a second language. So don't worry if your English isn't perfect - my students tell me the information I teach is easy to understand (and the videos have captions that I personally edited!). Also...hablo español, eu falo português, et je parle français.

I enjoyed the course very much. Learned a lot of important facts that will definitely help me choose my next cup of coffee. Easy to follow, the quizzes were concise and simple, and Karen does a great job explaining all the "new" concepts to beginners like me.

most of what I heard about coffee was not even close to the truth. course is enjoyable while educating in easy amount of time. I was curious about coffee and now I will be expanding my knowledge

A good course about the basics of coffee, that could benefit from an additional 30 minutes of content being added across the different parts. The strength of the course is its topic-selection, whilst its weakness is its shallow dive into detail for each subject.

this is very engaging and what I needed as I boost my knowledge of coffee beyond being a consumer and just enjoying a good pour over in the morning

I am a barista and this course helped me understand the experience my customers get Knowing the coffee process from crop to cup helps me to value my position in the process as the one who makes and serves the coffee for the customers to experience it.

I think more details on how climate, soil, altitude, weather patterns and amount of rain would give more understanding of the taste that can be encountered in a coffee

I was confused to tell what coffee I like, what process, althidude without going trough the lessons first, so i see this material or questionnaire a bit too clary

I enjoyed the course. There was a lot of good information, but I would have liked to also learn about the environmental impact growing coffee can have and where I can find environmentally friendly coffees, as well as ethically sourced. For example, I've heard the term shade-grown coffee. I would love to see a section about this added to the course.

this course gives you a lot of information how to process a coffee from plant to a cup, but I think this course is too short. I still need a lot of information from a lot of aspect. well, yeah this course really keep it simple. but, at least a second course for a deeper learning about coffee would be great

In general the course is excellent for someone who is just starting the coffee journey. I knew that the course was just a general introduction into the coffee world, however I was expecting a better information structure (and Perhaps bit more creativity with the slices design/edition)to deliver the content. I liked the approach of the author about some of the main aspects. the fact that she is living in Colombia gives credibility to her knowledge. highly recommended for beginners. Thank you

I like the energy so far. Your tone is very calm, level and yet full of energy, keep up the good work. Lower the price though, for $15 to $20 dollars, it's a good deal. $35 is pushing it, baby!!:-)

Good content but couple of points could be improved: 1. Structure: frequent references to later lections means the story in the course lacks some clear red thread 2. Moderation: to me the teacher shows an arrogant attitude assuming students are afraid of complex topics and she is the only one to dig through complexity 3. Sound quality: sometimes the recording has some interference in it making listening a bit difficult
