SCA Q-Grader Ausbildung

Der Q-Grader Kurs ist die international anerkannte Ausbildung für professionelle sensorische Kaffeebewertung und wird heute vollständig von der Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) durchgeführt. Ziel des Programms ist es, eine weltweit einheitliche Sprache für Kaffeequalität zu schaffen und Fachleute darin auszubilden, Kaffee objektiv, konsistent und reproduzierbar zu bewerten.

In der Johann Jacobs Haus Akademie bereiten wir dich strukturiert und praxisnah auf diese anspruchsvolle Ausbildung vor.
