Introduction to Roasting: Semi-Virtual Course: Class Meeting on Zoom

This course has been redesigned to limit social interaction while still providing practical roaster training on our machines through 1-on-1 training. To Register for this course, first sign-up for a timeslot for private roaster training through our calendar afternoons from 9/21-10/2, then RSVP for this Zoom meeting. The Meeting ID and all relevant materials will only be sent to those registered for a roasting timeslot.

Section 1 of this course is a video lecture and guided activity. As you watch and answer the questions, take note of what is unclear or what you would like more information about. The video covers:

•  – Brief Roasting History
•  – Overview of Roasting Equipment
•  – Coffee Origin, Terroir, and Varieties
•  – Coffee Processing
•  – Changes to the Coffee through the Roasting Process
•  – Controlling the Roast
•  – Cupping and QC
•  – Brief Roastery Design and Equipment

Section 2 of the course is a virtual meeting on Zoom. All students should do their best to tune-in to this meeting to go over the guided activity and have any questions answered. Covering as much as possible during this meeting will make the most of your time on the roasting machines.

The Final Section of this course culminates with 3 hours of 1-on-1 private roasting instruction at the RNY Lab using our Diedrich and/or Loring roasters and a socially-distanced cupping of a variety of roast profiles. Sign up for one of the listed roasting days on our calendar.

Each roasting day is listed with 1 available ticket to limit person-to-person contact, and timeslots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to register a small group of 2-3 people, please email Patrick@RoyalNY.com to have additional tickets issued for that day.

Cancellation Policy:

If you are unable to attend this class after signing up, you will receive a full refund only if we are able to fill your spot.
