Your welcome!

Hi Adam, thanks for putting together the SCA Foundations online. I was wondering, do you have a recommendation for an SCA program in Italy? I was hoping to go abroad, and Italy had such a great coffee culture

Hey, I don't specifically have suggestions for training in Italy. Many things changed with the SCAA and SCAE merger to the SCA... then again changes with Covid, lockdowns and travel restrictions. It's a very new field for options, which means you may want to check out a World of Coffee event (also SCA) or check online with the SCA at: education.sca.coffee/find-a-course

Great video, what are those transparent bags for green coffee?

Great observation. I bought from GrainPro. They were the market leader for a long time in hermetic packaging (one way air release preservation) but now there is Eco Tact and others. I sell them in small quantities at well at: sca.training/shop-offers 🙂

Sumatera has unique notes 🔥🔥

Yes, I agree. I love the wild, earthy, herbal nature when light roasted and the rich chocolates we get when dark roasted. What do you love about it?

Hi! Can you please explain the defect on 14:19? You did not exactly qualified it as defect but then what is it? If it's a defect what is the exact name of the category?

Hi for sure. Great question. My poor use of "that's just ugly coffee" isn't quite descriptive enough. The bean mentioned at 14:19 is triangular shaped, whole, and unbroken. Since it is not a "broken" it should roast evenly and produce acceptable coffee flavor. Those triangular shaped beans are often the result of 3 seeds inside one cherry. Rather than a flat sided 2-seed cherry, you get triangular shaped 3-seeds from the one cherry. Some varieties or growing conditions produce this result more than others. The SCA Green coffee classification does not discriminate against or count these odd-shaped beans as defects. What is more concerning is just sufficient screen sizing so that smaller, larger, triangular beans fall to the appropriate screen size and then when roasted roast evenly among their lot. After grading the coffee with actual Category 1 and Category 2 defects, you can just make a note on the grading form like "27 triangular beans" or "significant odd number of odd shaped or misshapen beans". For example you would not want a significant number of smaller triangular shaped beans mixed in with large 18-20 screen, AA, Supermo sized beans. The heat application on the larger beans would progress differently than the smaller beans. I hope that helps! ~Adam

PS. Nice brew videos in your channel

Hello, I’m starting to import green coffee beans from Mexico and would like to consult with you so I can grade the beans and get an opinion on the flavor profile from an expert. Is this something you would be interested in? If so, let’s connect.
