ONLINE ALL-LEVELS ROASTING CLASS + FORUM

I’m pleased to announce I will offer an online roasting course on January 4th, 2020. The class will be broadcast through a private Facebook group. All ticket holders will have access to the class video and discussion forum for one month after the class airs. Many students of previous online classes have said the month-long discussion forum improved their roasting more than any other class or resource.

Please note that it is not necessary to view the class when it airs live.

All ticket holders will have access to the class and forum for one month. During that month you can view the class as many times as you would like.

Please join us online, or if you’re in Southern California, we’d love to see you in person. Live seating will be limited, so claim your seat ASAP. The class will be held at Common Room Roasters in Costa Mesa from 1pm—4pm.

All ticket holders, live and virtual, will have access to the class video for one month through Facebook.

**ONLINE CLASS ACCESS WILL BE FROM JANUARY 4 -- FEBRUARY 3, 2020**

All ticket holders will also have access to a discussion forum on the private Facebook group for one month. I will field questions and comment on students’ curves every day on the forum. The forum will provide a safe, friendly space for a high-level discussion about roasting, something difficult to find anywhere else. Students of past online courses have found the forum helpful for solidifying the class lessons, have enjoyed the community feeling, and many have shared their roast-curve progress on the forum.

The course will be appropriate for roasters of all levels. Although I am calling it an “all levels” class, this course will touch on methods more advanced than anything in the level-three SCA roasting course (even their “advanced” classes are basic), and I guarantee your satisfaction.

The class will include: 

  • Three hours of lecture and Q&A

  • Cupping and curve analysis of the "Roast Defect Kit" featuring good, baked, and underdeveloped roasts. 

  • Methods to manage ROR curves

  • Advanced methods to prevent ROR crashes and flicks

  • How to modify roasting machines for better performance. 

  • Pro tips to get the most out of Cropster and other roasting software. 

  • How to adapt various strategies to different types of machines. 

Online tickets are $125 USD, live tickets are $175. During the class we will cup samples from the upcoming Roast Defect Kit. If you buy a virtual ticket and would like to receive the Roast Defect Kit in the mail to cup along with us at home, the kit will cost an additional $50 USD (making online and live tickets the same price.) The RDK is a great educational tool to share with your coworkers or staff. (Note: we are sorry but cannot ship the RDK to South Africa, China, Russia, Greece, or Brazil.)
