Brewing the Perfect Cup of Coffee #524: Challenge | Recap
🏆 Challenge of the Week
This week’s e-learning challenge is to create a short interaction that shows learners how to brew the perfect cup of coffee or how to make different coffee and espresso drinks.
Coffee’s perfect for this because everyone has their own little tricks and preferences. Some folks swear by the French press. Others won’t touch anything but their pour-over. And then there's the espresso lovers who geek out over every tiny detail.
Think of it like this: if you were standing behind the counter at your favorite coffee shop and someone asked, “How’d you make that?”
So this week, your challenge is to design a how-to process in a way that’s easy to follow and enjoyable to learn. No jargon. No long lectures. Just a simple walk-through that makes learners feel like they could grab some beans and give it a try themselves.
🚀 Tips for Getting Started
Here’s how you can kick things off depending on how much time you you have this week:
- Start simple: Walk through a basic recipe like pour-over or French press with step-by-step instructions and a couple of photos.
- Level up: Compare two drinks or brewing methods so learners can see the differences and pick their favorite.
- Challenge mode: Build a mini barista simulator where learners “order” a drink, follow the process, and get feedback at the end.
