Coffee quality decisions have real commercial consequences. They require accuracy, consistency and a shared professional language.

This Q Grader course is designed for experienced professionals working in green coffee, roasting, sourcing, quality control or coffee education who want to test and refine their technical and sensory abilities.

The week is intensive, highly practical and genuinely enjoyable. It is packed with learning, discussion, calibration and focused sensory work alongside other experienced coffee professionals.

Successful candidates leave with more than a Q Grader certificate. They leave with broader technical knowledge, sharper sensory skills and greater confidence in their professional judgement.

Places are limited. Register at coffeelaboratory.ie.

Sensory Skills Intermediate this weekend was something special.

Two full days of calibration, triangulations, aroma recognition, red light focus sessions, serious note-taking and even more serious discussions. Watching everyone move from uncertainty to confident, structured descriptions is always my favourite part. That moment when flavour stops being “nice” or “strong” and becomes precise, shared language, that’s where the magic happens.

Huge respect to this group for the focus, curiosity and willingness to challenge their own perceptions. Sensory work is not about having a “good palate”. It’s about training attention, building memory, and learning to doubt yourself productively.

Proud of you all. Now go taste everything differently.
