A Journey To
By Mike Tompkins, Contributing Editor
Brewing coffee is an art form. The taste of a cup of coffee is
determined by many things, including origin (elevation, amount of rain,
shade, temperature), roasting (temperature, bean type) and brewing
machine (water temperature, extraction). OCS operators who are
hoping to compete in coffee must learn and understand the art and
science behind the perfect brew, and how to deliver it to the customer.
Mike Tompkins, industry veteran and president of Coffee Products
Associates, shares three lessons he has learned on his journey to
understanding coffee excellence.
