My promise is that after this course you will know where your coffee comes from, how to differentiate specialty and non-specialty coffee, how it is brewed, and what all the fuss is about.

Hi, my name is Valerian and I have been working with coffee since 2001, when I started Green Plantation Coffee, offering single origin coffee in Slovakia. For more than 15 years I have been working, living and writing about coffee. With the Boot team, I developed the first online coffee education project, coffeecourses.com.
