This 3-hour workshop is suitable for beginning coffee roasters at Rising Tide in South Austin. We cover the basics-and-then-some of turning coffee beans brown, including:

  • Roasting machine anatomy

  • How to approach a roast given green coffee variables (origin, altitude, etc.)

  • How to use machine controls to manage your roast

  • Data logging, both manual and digital

  • Roast phases, roast level, and how to know when to stop 

  • Evaluating your results via cupping 

Participants will get hands-on roasting time on an Arc 800 and will get to take home a bag of beans that they roasted themselves.

Workshop is limited to 9 participants.
Lecture, hands-on roasting time, and a group cupping are included.
