Additional Information

What You Will Experience:

  • The Raw Material: Get hands-on with unroasted green coffee and learn how sourcing, origin, and regional characteristics shape the flavor before the heat is even applied.

  • The Transformation: Step right up to the roaster. You will watch for the "first crack," learn how time and temperature dictate flavor, and be walked through roasting process.

  • The Prep (Grinding & Brewing): Discover why grind size is the ultimate "make or break" variable in your kitchen. We’ll teach you the techniques behind a perfect batch brew, focusing on precise water-to-coffee ratios and optimal extraction.

  • The Palate Test: Experience a true "lightbulb moment" with a side-by-side taste comparison of freshly roasted coffee versus week-old grounds. Learn to identify oxidation and the loss of aromatics.

  • The Social: Roasting is thirsty and hungry work! We’ll wrap up the technical side of the day with freshly made pizza and an informal Q&A to pick the brains of our roasters.
