Coffee Knowledge Hub

This is latest in our SCA Expo lecture series, straight from Dr Christopher Hendon’s lab, on electrochemical assessment of coffee qualities. This lecture reports on further updates in the research while also covering the origins of the science. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eAJGGDBj Christopher H.

Sustainability reporting has gone from being a painful compliance exercise to a tool that helps companies commit to meaningful goals for their communities and key stakeholders. Learn from Nora Burkey, Managing Director of the Chain Collaborative, about the virtues of sustainability reporting. Sustainability reporting has transcended its traditional role as a regulatory obligation for a few companies to become a global business strategy for many more. These days, beyond the compliance aspect, it serves as a vehicle for organizations to learn about themselves and accurately communicate their performance to a wide range of stakeholders. By articulating their commitments, achievements, and areas for improvement, companies can build trust, attract investors, and align with constantly evolving sustainability expectations. Inspired by these organizational challenges and needs, The Chain Collaborative has designed the Sustainability Reporting Course, a comprehensive program designed to equip individuals and organizations with the necessary knowledge and tools to navigate what can be a somewhat intimidating assignment, as despite the growing recognition of its importance, sustainability reporting remains a complex and often daunting task. Many professionals entrusted with this responsibility face the inherent complications of data collection and data presentation. Recognizing this need, the course aims to demystify the process and empower participants to enhance their reporting practices with confidence and proficiency. Launching soon on the coffee knowledge hub.

Up your roasting game by learning more about the physical and chemical changes in coffee during roasting. Mark Al-Shemmeri will explain what is happening to the beans as they roast in terms of their physical and chemical attributes. He will also explain how different profiles modulate the physicochemical attributes via different time and temperature settings. Join the webinar live with Mark to learn more and get the opportunity to ask questions. May 15, 16:00 Central European Summer Time. Register via the coffee knowledge hub. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eMnNFKFh #coffeeknowledgehub #coffee #coffeecareers #coffeelife #coffeeculture #coffeeroasting #coffeegeek #coffeecommunity #coffeepeople #coffeecourse

Infused coffees have been a hot topic in recent years, sparking conversations and articles examining their processing, the ethics of their production and traceability, and whether or not they should be considered part of the specialty market. 🔗https://lnkd.in/ds8y9Vj7 #coffeeknowledgehub #coffee #coffeecareers #coffeelife #coffeeculture #coffeeroasting #coffeegeek #coffeecommunity #coffeepeople #coffeecourse

As we make our way back from Busan after the first World of Coffee in Asia, we have a few reflections on premiumisation in coffee. If you are wondering where some of the best coffees in the world can be found - it is in South East Asia. Just look at who is buying the top auction lots from Best of Panama, Cup of Excellence and competition grade lots. If you are wondering where the some of the most dedicated and high level coffee professionals are, then look at the success of South East Asia on the world stage in competitions. If you want to know which region has either invested most in education certifications in the last 10 years and or is showing the most growth in education certifications, it is Asia. So, we think there is pretty strong evidence that premiumisation is a strong trend and one to watch if you want to know where some of the coffee market is shifting towards in other parts of the globe as they follow this trend here. However, premiumisation comes with a promise. The customer experience in terms of service excellence, environment and products all needs to be at a high level. This is where education and constant development of skills and knowledge is essential to delivering on this promise. #specialtycoffee #worldofcoffeeasia #wocbusan #coffeeeducation #coffeeknowledgehub

Join us Thursday 2 May at 12pm in room 101 and WOC Busan for a presentation on developments in the coffee education and the role of science & research in pushing the coffee industry forward. Presenters: Chahan Yeretzian and Sierra Yeo from the ZHAW Coffee excellence centre and Andrew Tolley from the Coffee Knowledge Hub. #coffeeeducation #specialtycoffee #skills #coffee #lifelonglearning #barista #careerprogression #coffeeknowledgehub

Congratulations to the 2024 UK Youth Academy team. Every year we make the selection process a little more challenging, and every year we are super impressed by the calibre of the applications. It makes it so difficult to find a team of 6. Each year the Youth Academy program, sponsored by the @simonelligroup and supported by their local partners put six high potential young coffee professionals through a scholarship. They are certified across all SCA coffee skills modules at the foundation level and to professional level in barista. They are mentored and given opportunities to expand their network in the industry. All this leads to progression in their careers - promotions, new roles, and being able to inspire others. Watch as this group grow in their roles, using the power of education and knowledge to enhance their professions and become future leaders. #knowledgeispower #coffeeeducation #careerprogression #futureleaders #specialtycoffee #barista

We're excited to announce a series of 3 webinars on roasting by Mark Al-Shemmeri Many of you will already be familiar with Mark, but for those who aren't, you should be, if research lead roasting science is of interest to you. Mark is presenting 3 webinars on different topics in roasting,starting May 15. The first topic is: the physicochemical changes during roasting via different time-temperature profiles You can register via the Events section of the coffee knowledge hub. Marks Bio: Mark Al-Shemmeri has recently finished an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) in the School of Chemical Engineering and the University of Birmingham (UK), wherein his research, entitled 'A Data Driven Approach to Process and Product Simulations of Coffee Roasting', developed fundamental knowledge of coffee roasting, as well as detailed simulations of heat and mass transfer and resulting physicochemical transformation during roasting. Toward the end of his research, Mark started a nomadic specialty coffee roastery called Dialect Coffee and is now implementing the learnings from the EngD in his role as R&D Technology Specialist at JDE Peet's in the Netherlands. 🔗https://lnkd.in/eMnNFKFh #coffeeroasting #coffeeroaster #specialtycoffee #roastingscience #coffeeeducation #coffeescience #roastprofile

We're still processing everything that happened in Chicago at the this year's SCA Expo. Luckily, much of the content we want to revisit has been recorded and will be posted on the coffee knowledge hub soon. Expo has expanded with new features enhancing your chance to engage and learn. The Green coffee summit and retail lounge added a new dimension to the show. The biggest lesson learned from conversations and observations is that education needs to lead to opportunity. So this will be a focus for the coffee knowledge hub. Creating opportunities through learning, connecting and discovering. #coffeeknowledgehub #coffee #coffeecareers #coffeelife #coffeeculture #coffeeroasting #coffeegeek #coffeecommunity #coffeepeople #coffeecourse

Very much looking forwards to this run in Busan at the World of Coffee. We have over 100 people registered so if you are thinking of coming, please let us via comment on the coffee knowledge hub so we can manage numbers. https://lnkd.in/eVUgy_8x
