Roaster School 101

Roaster School 101 — $350 — 4 hours

We highly recommend that you take our Sensory Development Training before you take Roaster School 101! 

Roaster School 101 is a beginner-friendly, hands-on roasting workshop designed to demystify the process of turning green beans into something beautiful (and brown).

We’ll cover the fundamentals and then some, including:

• Roasting machine anatomy
  

• How green coffee variables (origin, altitude, etc.) affect your approach
  

• Using machine controls to follow a roast recipe
  

• Digital data logging
  

• Roast phases and degree of roast
  

• Evaluating roasts through cupping

You’ll get supervised hands-on time roasting on our Arc 800 and go home with beans that you roasted. Expect to leave with confidence, practical skills, and a brand-new appreciation for what happens behind every great cup of coffee.

Offered On Sundays at 10AM - 2PM:
8/23, 9/13, 11/15

*Small, hands-on classes limited to 8 participants
