Coffee Skills Programm (CSP) - Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) - Module 2 - Green Coffee

As a fundamental course in the “Green Coffee” module, you’ll gain an overview of the various green coffee varieties worldwide, different harvesting methods, processing techniques, an introduction to green coffee grading, and initial effects of the various components in the cup.

As an advanced course in the “Green Coffee” module, you’ve already acquired basic knowledge in the field of green coffee and want to deepen it. In this module, you’ll learn about proper green coffee grading, clear identification and recognition of green coffee defects (both physical and in cupping), prerequisites and information related to coffee trading, and correct storage and transportation of green coffee.

If you’ve successfully completed your “Green Coffee - Intermediate” course at least 3 months ago (a prerequisite), you’re now ready to become a professional expert in green coffee, green coffee grading, defect detection, and trading. You’ll professionally analyze, classify, and taste green and roasted coffee samples, providing a final and clear evaluation. Detailed discussions on storage and contracts will be within your expertise.
