A fresh cup of coffee is a perfect way to start your day, isn’t it? Well, coffee lovers here’s a wake-up call for you from the University of Florence. We are not kidding. The University of Florence is providing a master’s degree in coffee. The course aims to offer all the intricacies of the coffee business right from the history of coffee to the technologies used.
Coffee is a hug in a cup. It can light up your day in seconds, making a bad day bearable. If you are someone who can’t function without coffee and plan to become a coffee connoisseur this is the opportunity for you. The pilot batch for the master’s degree in coffee will start in January with 24 students.
“We will cover all aspects of the business. Right from the origins to the preparation and serving of the drink.,” said Francesco Garbati Pegna, head of the university’s department of agriculture, food, environment, and forestry. He will supervise the course. “The course is the only one of its kind, as far as I am aware.”
Italian people are avid coffee drinkers. Thus, the students will get to learn about coffee from the experts. This nine-month-long course aims to provide practical as well as theoretical knowledge. If the course’s jargon bores you, the promise of dreamily sipping coffee in one of Florence’s squares may convince you to enroll.
