about ed+u

ED+U by Cafe Imports is an open-source, up-to-date coffee education platform that dives into each supply chain step

Education is a pillar of Cafe Imports' mission. We believe the industry is made stronger when everyone has access to education. We recognize that developing a comprehensive training curriculum can be both time-consuming and resource-intensive for companies, which is why many coffee education programs are often restricted to those who pay or are provided by their employers. We hope that ED+U helps raise the quality and accessibility of coffee education for individuals and small businesses.
