I’m pleased to announce a new 3–hour roasting seminar in Manila. My last seminar in Manila was in 2016, and this class contains 90% new information. I’ve learned a lot in the past nine years, and I’m excited to share that information with you. .

Class topics will include: 

• Cupping a Roast Defect Kit

• How to create a warmup and between-batch protocol for flawless consistency

• Optimizing drum RPM, airflow, and BBP for different machines and batch sizes

• How to use curves and data to improve roast quality and consistency

• How to manage air roasters vs drum roasters

• Sample roasting and cupping strategies for green selection

• Roasting QC methods, including color measurement, weight loss, and cupping

• and much more

In recent years, I’ve added a lot of information and tips about air roasting, as well as how to differentiate approaches to washed and natural coffees. I will adapt the class as needed to your machine and experience level.
