The Coffee Buyer’s Guide To

COLOMBIA

CBG Colombia

Course In Production – Lessons Published Biweekly

Welcome to The Coffee Buyer’s Guide to Colombia, the third in our series of Buyer’s Guides. Colombia was perhaps the first country in the world to establish a reputation as a single-origin coffee producer. As the world’s largest producer of washed arabica coffee, it remains vitally important to the specialty coffee industry today.

In this online course we explore the flavours and seasonality of Colombia’s growing regions and describe all the important coffee plant varieties grown in the country. We explain how Colombian coffee is graded, exported, and roasted.

Colombian producers tell us about how they are pushing the envelope in coffee processing. We also speak with roasters and baristas who represent Colombia’s rapidly growing specialty coffee scene. This course will be published in fortnightly instalments over the next couple of months. It comprises five separate chapters and more than thirty individual lessons.

All of our courses and certifications are available through BH Unlimited as a monthly subscription. When this course has completed production, it will be available as a single course purchase, giving you access for life!

Will I learn how to make better cold brew?
We provide the tools and information needed to make better coffee all around, but there isn’t a chapter on cold brew, no.

Do I need an espresso machine, refractometer, or any other special equipment?
No. We’ve designed this course to help everyone that makes coffee, regardless of their equipment. Some experiments will be difficult to execute without a refractometer, but the vast majority of the course will still be relevant.

Is it suitable for beginner-level home or service baristas?
If you’ve never made a coffee before or don’t regularly drink coffee, this course is not for you. If you’re just starting your coffee journey, read through our blog of free resources first to become familiar with some of the basic concepts that lay the foundation for this course. If you are familiar with our blog, this is definitely for you!

For now, yes. We are working on making translations available in several languages later on down the line. Stay tuned!

The course is limited to one IP address. Can I sign in from multiple devices?
Yes! Multiple devices or locations are okay, but we’re mainly on the lookout for large scale abuse.
