To accurately and reliably taste coffee, as a novice professional, you can perform various tasks, such as:
- Properly and consistently preparing the coffee according to the prescribed method
- Smelling and visually inspecting the coffee to assess if it matches the expected flavor profile
- Tasting the coffee and carefully evaluating its flavor based on the aromas, flavors, and textures that are perceived
- Making objective notes of the taste evaluation to later revisit the tasting process and improve it.
Discuss with your coach which tasks you will perform to master this skill. The goal is to improve your skills in accurately tasting coffee as a novice professional and become a true coffee expert.
Together with your supervisor and coach, you determine when you have sufficiently developed these skills and earned your badge. Personalize your badge and make it more valuable by adding your unique learning process and achievements. This way, potential employers and customers can get a better understanding of your dedication to coffee excellence and the specific skills you have developed. Show that you are a true coffee expert!
