You’ll learn new recipes and pick up some pro-tips, tricks and hacks for making great, balanced and delicious coffee cocktails.

Via this GCS Online Education Portal, you can access and stream video lessons on-demand anytime, or download and watch offline, from desktop, phone or other devices.
Each video class, accompanied by full lesson description, key learnings, ‘pro-tips’ and ‘home-hacks’, can be accessed in order, by week, via the tabled tabs to the right of this page.
You will also find your practical homework tasks, theory tests, a lesson ‘toolkit’, ‘kit list’ and a host of resources to help you on your way in the column on the right-hand side of the page for each week.
Finally, in the Portal’s top bar menu, you will find two more helpful resources - the Roaster Directory and ‘Gear’. Here you can also access the ‘Noticeboard’, where exciting Global Coffee School and Community News will be posted.
The Roaster Directory lists a whole host of specialty coffee roasters and retailers across the world, which you can search according to the country or region that you are in if you want some inspiration or to find a roaster local to you from whom to buy your beans.
The ‘Gear’ page contains a comprehensive visual list and descriptions of all the equipment and kit pieces, as well as key ingredients, that we will use or refer to within the Foundation and Advanced courses.
If you still have questions about The Global Coffee School and the courses themselves, these may be answered via the FAQ’s page which is the final tab.
