Curriculum:

Learning to roast coffee successfully requires mentorship over a period of time, varying from a few months to a few years with lots of trials and errors. In spite of that fact, we can teach you the fundamentals of coffee roasting, safety procedures, simple maintenance and basics about coffee in a weekend. Anything beyond that is not realistic in a weekend course. This course is a hands-on experience of coffee cupping, tasting, roasting and barista fundamentals to insure your roasting business success.

Some of the topics covered during Day 1:

Canadian Market Share
Differences between Artisan and Commodity coffee
Principles of Roasting
Biology of tasting and the coffee tasting wheel
Cupping, Tasting Espresso, Calibration and Discussion
What is the #1 seller of coffee shops?
What are the Roasting differences for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Wave
Myths and Stereotype Roasting for Espresso, Batch Brew drip coffee, Pour Over filter coffee and all the rest
Thermocycling

Roasting is about developing flavors.. not colors. If you cannot taste your mistakes you will never make the appropriate corrections to your roast. Tasting is fundamental to all culinary arts, and roasting is a culinary art.

Some of the topics covered during Day 2:

Espresso variations
How to track a roast
Philosophies of Roasting
How to Choose a Roaster
Main machine types of Roasting
Different ways to develop a Roast
Freshness standards

Some Topics covered during Day 3:

Profile Roasting
Decaf
Terroir & Processing
Green Coffee Defects

Throughout the 3 days, the Roasting Instructor will provide you with an overview of operating a coffee roaster, temperature time profile, breakdown in a roast and how to adjust for every outcome, fundamental roasting concepts followed by a demonstration of a complete coffee roast, from start to finish. Each student will be guided and given an opportunity to run many roasts on their own and with their classmates. During and after each roast there will be time for a Question and Answer period to continue deepening your understanding.

Learned a lot.

Lots of information. Hands on was fun. Learned a lot. Picking up my first roaster soon. Thanks Calvin. It was a blast!

It was an amazing opportunity to learn the fundamentals of roasting

Thank you so much for these 3 days of training! It was an amazing opportunity to learn the fundamentals of roasting and be given access to an exceptional level of experience based knowledge facilitated in an encouraging and positive environment.

I really appreciated the emphasis placed on perusing a high level of quality that can only be the result of prioritizing integrity, consistency, and passion at the core of the process. There’s no doubt that the training I received from this course has provided a foundation that would have otherwise been difficult to obtain.

Thanks again Calvin and Les for presenting a range of challenging and complex concepts in such an accessible way, while also inspiring confidence for continued learning and growth!

I took roasting level 1 and have to say this course is absolutely worth taking. I had an incredible time learning new roasting skills and knowledge about the coffee industry, as well as learning the importance of cupping. Both Calvin and Les have an incredible and extensive amount of knowledge and passion behind their material and teachings. I can't recommend this course enough. I am very excited to start roasting on my own. Thanks again!

Hi Kyle, Thank you so much for sharing you experience with us! We are very happy to hear you took away so much and keep us posted on how things go :)!

I highly recommend the course

I took the Level 1 Roasting course with Les and Calvin. I highly recommend the course if you are looking to get into coffee roasting. I’ve waited to post a review until I had a chance to get back home and fire up my new 500 g sample roaster. The lessons learned in the course gave me the confidence and skills that I needed to fire up the new roaster, produce good coffee and cup the results. Still have a long way to go but both Les and Calvin got me started in a great direction. Thanks guys!

thank you William!
