Morten has:

* Taught coffee roasting at The London School of Coffee since 2007

* Developed and conducted barista training as the manager of Kontra coffee’s training center

* Developed SCAE/SCA’s Roasting Curriculum and served as part of its Education Committee

* Conducted peer-reviewed research and publications in scientific journals exploring cappuccino foam chemistry, roast defects, roast degree preferences, sensory science, consumer perception, and coffee quality evaluation
