The Culinary Institute of America

The Culinary Institute of America (CIA), in conjunction with Starbucks Foodservice, has introduced “Coffee: Brewing, Tasting, and Cooking” – a free online learning and videos tracking America’s favorite beverage from bean to table. Learn where the best coffee beans come from and how they’re processed…how to brew beans properly…and how to evaluate a cup of coffee. Recipes and videos created by CIA chefs feature new ideas and techniques for cooking with coffee.

“Coffee: Brewing, Tasting, and Cooking” explores coffee’s compatability with a wide range of contemporary flavors from Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines. Geared to professionals, but suitable for home cooks as well, the e-learning module includes 16 downloadable recipes, demonstrated by CIA chef-instructors in streaming video.

The best way to become a more enlightened coffee consumer is to pay close attention to what’s in the cup. Putting words to what you are smelling and tasting will help you become more discriminating.

Watch Major Cohen of Starbucks Coffee demonstrate the methods of the professional coffee cupper.
