What we’ll do

With our guidance and instruction, you will roast your own coffee using a small hand-roaster that professional roasters often use when first defining roast profiles for new coffee beans sourced from new coffee providers.

We'll cover:

- a brief overview of coffee roasting basics

- what to look for in green coffee (coffee pre-roast)

- what to look for in roasted coffee

- hands-on practice roasting, transforming raw, green coffee into rich, fresh-roasted coffee in our 250g capacity hand roaster

- hands-on practice grinding and brewing your fresh-roasted coffee
