EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
Online Classes
The Crown is proud to offer a variety of online classes! These classes cover a wide range of topics and are pre-recorded, so you can learn when and wherever is most convenient for you. View our full list of offerings here.
Webinars
We miss discussing all things coffee in person, but we’ve been busy taking the conversation digital via our webinar series! We’ve talked about everything from Green Coffee Logistics to Race and Specialty Coffee. Recordings of previous webinars as well as registration links for upcoming webinars can be found here.
Glossaries
We get it: there are too many terms and phrases to keep track of when talking about coffee (and we’re always making up new ones). To help keep things straight, we’ve put together a handful of glossaries for you to reference whenever you need to! Check out our Green Coffee Glossary, Brew Glossary, and Roasting Glossary (coming soon).
Private Trainings
If you’re looking for a private training or personal consultation, our team of experts is ready to work with you. Whether you need help roasting, devloping sensory skills, or perfecting your bar skills, we can help you reach the next level. Read more here.
