From 2018-2019, the creator’s group for the Sustainability Coffee Skills curriculum for the Specialty Coffee Association comprised Erika Koss & Hanes Motsinger (English webinar, October 8) and Nora Burkey & Kate Fischer (Spanish webinar, October 15). 

ASTs Frans Taapken and Ricardo Oteros were among their first pilot Foundation and Intermediate students in early 2019.

The course launched at the Specialty Coffee Expo in Boston, USA, in April 2019, taught by Erika and Nora.

Since then, Nora and Erika have taught several sections of Foundation and Intermediate online or in person.  Last week, Erika taught the first-ever Foundation course in Kenya, and Frans taught the first-ever course in Europe, in the Netherlands. Kate will teach the first-ever class in Peru in 2020.

The first-ever Professional course will launch at the end of October, co-taught online by Nora, Kate, and Erika.

The Intermediate course builds on concepts introduced in Foundation to develop student ability to analyze and interpret a variety of different types of sustainability projects. After completing the Intermediate level, students be able to articulate different ideas about defining and measuring sustainability and sustainable development in order to better understand and assess the major issues facing specialty coffee.

This course will be co-taught with fellow AST Nora Burkey and is offered in partnership with The Chain Collaborative.
