Percolation

Course & Certification

Baristas of the third wave have transformed pour-over and batch brewed filter coffee from a culture of the bottomless cup, into a specialisation that parallels the achievements of the wine industry. Percolation brew methods allow us to produce our most velvety and clarified brews which is what makes this style of coffee beverage, the most thirst quenching and delicious of them all. The Percolation course is an exploration of the art and science of gravity fed, drip coffee in all its guises.

What’s in each Chapter?

The Percolation Course & Certification is structured across seven chapters. Chapter One is dedicated to the mechanics of percolation and the physical effects of glass, ceramic or plastic filter cones and filter papers. These essential lessons take you through every step in producing consistent batch brew and pour-over coffee.

In Chapter Two we discuss the best practice for weighing beverages, tracking temperature profiles and the interaction between time and grind settings. Then in Chapter Three, we look at the complex variables of turbulence, bed depth and flow. We take a look at how the success of these interactions can help to counteract channelling.

In Chapter four and five we look at batch brew machine programming and the brew cycle. We also take a close look at filter paper materials and manufacturing. Then we look at how to manage against limescale and corrosion of our equipment. Chapter six follows up with a close examination in best practice for holding coffee in the commercial environment. We put established theories to the test in experiments and blind tastings.

The course concludes with a run down in management strategies for costing, hygiene and station management. We also cover staff efficiency and show you strategies to help you streamline your brewing techniques to help you keep pace in a busy commercial environment. 

At the end of the final chapter, we then come to the final assessment. This challenging quiz is designed to make sure you understand every important learning outcome.
