Coffee Master Certification Checklist
by Starbucks Galway st, from the Community
This Coffee Master Certification checklist helps Starbucks partners demonstrate mastery in coffee knowledge and leadership. It guides trainers through evaluating first impressions and coffee tastings, comparing brews, and explaining the four brewing fundamentals: water, proportion, grind, and freshness. It prompts storytelling on roast, regional profiles, and ethical sourcing, plus food pairings. The checklist verifies completion of learning activities across coffee history, agriculture, sustainability, expertise, and leadership, and identifies follow-up needs. It also tracks KPIs like wholebean and Blonde percentages and in-store deliverables, including coffee audits, BROTs, Aroma Labs, and staff tastings. Conclude with sign-off for the black apron and schedule a 6‑month check.
