I’m pleased to announce a new 3–hour roasting seminar in Tokyo. This is my first visit to Japan, and I couldn’t be more excited!

This class will be translated live into Japanese.

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.

Tickets: $275

Location: 〒155-0031 Tokyo Setagaya Ward Kitazawa 2-27-9
