Q - Grader course Going thru Boot Coffee Campus has been an amazing, professional growing experience. I started by taking Coffee Pro, the courses and videos provided a plethora of information for anyone interested on immersing in the vast coffee world. My end goal was to get Q- grader certified, for what I decided to enroll in both Sensory Modules followed by Q-grading classes and examinations. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but after reading most of the blogs I knew becoming a Q-grader wasn't going to be easy. Sensory classes with Valerian were eye opening, I thought I knew some about coffee sensory, but Valerian sure taught me there was a lot more to learn about. He went the xtra mile for us involved in the modules to understand coffee sensory. Once done with these two modules, we moved into our Q- grading course. So much information to process, constant testing and practices make your senses spin like a tornado. Willem Boot taught the vast majority of the course, but it is imperative to mention that both Willem and Valerian choreographed all classes in such a way we had the time to digest and fully understand their lectures. Examinations of course brought the stress factor to a higher level, but at all times both instructors made sure we felt confident. Thank you Willem Boot and Valerian Hrala, it has been quite a ride, one for the books, can't wait to return for more quality Coffee Roasting training. Till next time, Ramon

Boot Coffee’s excellent committment to its students I am a regular attendee of Boot Coffee Campus classes and had great experiences! But one was very special…….after having registered for the SCA Boot Intermediate Roasting Class, I was informed that due to a scheduling conflict the class had to be moved to a different time/day. My plane ticket from Florida and hotel were already booked……in order to save me the trouble of cancelling my trip, the campus director, Valerian, made a special effort to spend an entire Sunday with me and presented the entire course to me, one on one, including the SCA exam!!!!! That’s what Boot is……a company that is dedicated to its students, caring, professional, knowledgeable, and above all, responsive to its students and the entire coffee community!

Hello Everyone Hello Everyone. Recently took a few courses at BOOT Coffee. Introduction to Coffee and Sensory Foundations and Intermediate. There is my commence: the school well organized and equipped with professional approach for sure. Valerian is the best person in coffee education. A lot of information, fun and practical skills. Every morning we start with a delicious cup of coffee -La Mula and other kinds / varieties. Highly RECOMMEND TO ATTEND THIS SCHOOL FOR EDUCATION AND ADVICES. As for me I'm planning to take a few more corses during this year. Victor Garvey from Toronto.

Comfortable space with skillful instructors I visited Boot Coffee after reading the 'Monk of Mokha' and was instantly convinced that I need to take a few courses here. I have taken Sensory, Roasting Biz, and Q grader courses with them. Valerian, the course director, has a wealth of knowledge from his roasting businesses and happily shares it through his teachings. He cares for the progress of all students and is completely invested in our success. For the Q, Willem has been teaching the course since years and he does a great job at calming the nerves. The Q course is a stressful 6 days but both Valerian and Willem are there for you throughout the process. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking courses with Boot and if you are giving the Q exam, would urge you to take the sensory courses as they help immensely for the Q course.
