Gold Cup News

Brewmasters are the lifeblood of the Gold Cup, maintaining quality and furthering the cause of excellent filter coffee. To become a Brewmaster, you must sit a one-day training course.

The SCAE will be holding its very successful Brewmaster Course again shortly--please watch for announcements of the course being given in your area.

Outline details of the Gold Cup Brewmaster programme are set out below.

Each course is restricted to 16 participants, on a “first come, first served” basis. The cost for the 1-day course is €200.

Information on travelling to the venue will be sent to participants and hotel accommodation can be arranged if required.

Attendees should not be new to the coffee world, as some prior knowledge is assumed in the course content.

Overview and agenda for the one day Brewmaster course is as follows:

An intensive one-day course, where each attendee will learn the six essentials of good coffee, learn how to scientifically measure brews and, through written and hands-on examination, be certified as a Level One SCAE Gold Cup Brewmaster.
