The online coffee roasting course program
Chapter 01 - Intro and physical changes
How does roasting work? How does the grain change from a physical point of view in size, weight and density? Let's get right into the course.
Chapter 02 - Chemistry - Chemical transformations
The chemical transformations of the bean will mainly affect the result in the cup. The degradation of acids, the maillard reactions and the caramelization of sugars ...
Chapter 03 - Green Coffee Selection
Knowing how to roast means knowing how to choose and select green coffees. Let's see how to evaluate defects, degree of humidity, density and other elements that will allow us to identify the right roasting profile.
Chapter 04 - The roasting machine
Rotating drum, air bad, gas, electricity, different sizes, with cast iron or steel… Many variables can have an influence on the choice of the right machine for our project.
Chapter 05 - Heat Transfer and Colorimeters
Convection, conduction and radiation - these heat transfer methods can affect the roasting process. Let's also see in this chapter how to measure the color of the roasted coffee with a scientific method.
Chapter 06 - Measurements - Pre and Post Roasting Measurement
The so-called “weight loss” of roasted coffee has both a commercial impact (a kilo of green coffee will weigh much more than a roasted one) and an organoleptic one. Let's see how to manage it.
Chapter 07 - Temperatures and software
Temperature will be our point of reference during roasting. The various phases, from the cracks to the turning points, will be marked by the measurements of the thermocouples. Roasting softwares will be very helpful to help us in this delicate approach.
Chapter 08 - Roast Profile
With a software (or with a stopwatch and a lot of attention) it will be possible to create a roasting profile, a chart. It will be valuable both for the analysis of the roasted coffee and for the possibility of replicating the taste ...
Chapter 09 - Extra - Practice with Artisan
Let us start to roast! Let's see how the roasting batch is managed in practice and how it is followed with one of the most used software.
Chapter 09 - Extra - Practice with Artisan 2-
Let's continue the practice. We perform lighter or darker toasts, slower or faster. Experience is given by varying conditions and routes.
Chapter 10 - Cooling and Storage
After roasting, the coffee becomes a very delicate product. The cooling, degassing and storage phases, if badly performed, can quickly affect the quality of the drink in a very negative way.
Chapter 11 - Research and blending
What is the best blend? What the market is asking for. It has to be carefully analyzed, remembering that coffees change with the seasons and crops, and that we will always be able to replicate the taste even changing the ingredients...
