Home Roasting 101

This class will be a hands on opportunity to roast your very own coffee! You will start by getting to know the mechanics of roasting and will employ a wide range of tools from woks to whirley-pops and cast iron skillets to popcorn makers. At the end of class you will take time to evaluate your results.

At the end of class you will be able to choose a 4 oz. bag of Almanac Coffee to take home with you ($8 value).

You will also go home with a comprehensive knowledge of the craft & science of coffee and will be able to discern the myriad differences in processing techniques, sourcing, evaluating, roasting and brewing.
