ABP, as we call ourselves, has been in business for over 15 years in El Salvador. We are a private Coffee School located in the heart of Central America, with an international curriculum made for coffee lovers to learn the ropes of this business, no matter where they are. Our students may opt for a wide rage of curriculums available. Practices from ABP are recommended for students as a hobby, you will learn the basic on each subject and practice is the main focus. Under the most complete education, we decided to pair our education experience with Specialty Coffee Association curriculum. This is the most complete set of Coffee Education we have available at ABP. We are now proud to be the only Latin American Coffee School offering 2 SCA Coffee Programs - Coffee Skills Program and Sustainability Program. Both curriculums will help students new potential business nationally and internationally in their companies while standardizing their protocols to meet SCA specifications.
ABP is managed and owned by Jonathan RodrĆguez and wife Johanna de RodrĆguez, both certified ASTs whom have believed since day 1 in quality education. The individual models available are: Introduction to Coffee, Barista, Brewing, Sensory, Green Coffee, Roasting and as of November 2022, we are proud to carry one very important module called Sustainability in Coffee.

What have we won? Since 2008 we have been keen to participate in National and International competitions, making it a priority to learn from mistakes and keep standing tall whenever possible. Every year we have winners in competition, we have a detailed list of all winners in our webpage, under Programs - Competition.
In this post Id like to talk to you about our last competitions, when our student Carlos Guerra won twice 1st place Barista National Championship in Honduras consecutively. The first year we traveled with him to World Barista Championship in Boston where he won 16th place in the World, the second year he won, pandemic struck worldwide and we were left with everything ready to travel to Australia. World Barista Championship has not yet been organized, as we wait for this competition to arrive in the near future, we are sure we will do a great job.
We thank all our clients your preference in National and International competitions. Every year more and more people decide for us to train and roast their coffees for national and international competitions. We just hope to see more chances to compete in the future without Covid.
Remember we can roast any coffee you wish from 2 bags of 12oz or pounds up.
Try our freshly roasted coffee every week, from Monday through Saturday. Ask for delivery or come and pick up.
