CC Academy's Roasting Course is designed for anyone interested in learning the secrets of roasting coffee.
In this hands-on course, you will learn the basic skills and theory of roasting coffee and get to experience operating a drum roaster as you roast your own batch on one of our 12 Kilo Probat production roasters at Communal Coffee.
Breakfast class on the theory of roasting
In the first two hours of the class, you get to know the roasting process in theory. We look at the chemical reactions during the roast and how the beans transform in color, shape, and flavor. The most interesting question will be how flavor, taste, acidity, and body develop and how we, as roasters, can influence the complex processes that occur during the roast. To make this theory part more delightful, we will serve you a small breakfast assortment, including as much coffee as you can drink.
Hands-on Roasting
After the theoretical part, we move to our roasting room, heat the machine, and begin roasting. After a live roasting session, you will have the opportunity to roast your very own first batch of specialty coffee and take one bag home with you. Of course, the whole session will be supervised and well-instructed.
Target group
The Class is designed for people with a basic knowledge of coffee and specialty coffee. You don’t need to know anything about roasting, as we start from the very beginning to learn the process. However, it is helpful if coffee processing (washed, natural, honey, etc.) and varieties are not completely unknown to you. It is not mandatory, but we will assume some basic knowledge and interest in specialty coffee.
