In this talk I demonstrate the use of two home roasters – a drum roaster and a fluid bed roaster. I’ll cover the stages of coffee development, roast a couple samples, and give attendees a chance to try roasting. Everyone will leave with some freshly roasted beans, an understanding of what the different roast levels mean, and a shopping list of how to get started themselves. I’ll wrap up with some discussion around DIY/modification roasters available online.
Josh Armour is a security/privacy engineer at a large global search/advertising company. But in his spare time he enjoys roasting coffee, taking digital photos, and spending time with wife+offspring 🙂
