Training & Tuition
Our courses are designed to bring you fully up to speed on how to use your roasting machine, adjust and follow profiles, and successfully achieve a target taste.
We offer a one-day intensive course, as well as a three-day course made up of modules that guide you through the whole roasting process.
Module 1
Roasting fundamentals
Module 1 lays the foundations of roasting your own coffee — understanding your roaster, the principles of roasting and the theory behind profiling.
It covers a roasting introduction, profiling theory, and green coffee sourcing, before finishing with a roast profiling practical.
Module 2
Cupping, evaluating and adjusting
To cement what's learned in Module 1, Module 2 looks at cupping and evaluating your first roast — working out what needs adjusting and how to keep improving.
It covers cupping and evaluating your first roast, evaluation and profiling adjustments, and a practical roasting session using your adjusted profiles.
Module 3
Advanced profiling
Module 3 completes the course, guiding you through the final pieces of information to perfect your roasting skills.
It covers cupping and evaluating your second roast, advanced profiling, a practical roasting session using advanced profiling, and a final round-up with time for questions.
