Easy Home Coffee Roasting (Ages 16+) June 15, 2024

Think roasting coffee at home is tough? Think again! In this class, we’ll show you how to turn green beans into aromatic masterpieces. And guess what? We’re doing it with an air popper you might find in your grandma’s attic. (We’ll taste some coffee too!)

Ever wondered why coffee from different places tastes, well, different? We’ll explore the ins and outs of beans from all over the globe and let you in on their little secrets. So, you’ll not only roast the beans, but you’ll know their backstories, too!

Roasting your own coffee isn’t just a blast, it’s also a sneaky way to save some real money… cutting your coffee budget by more than half, and trust us, fresh coffee from just-roasted beans is a game-changer. It’s like going from stale potato chips to gourmet french fries.

Plus, you won’t leave empty-handed. We’ll send you home with a pound of greens to roast at home. So, come hang with us, learn loads, have fun, and step into the deliciously fresh world of home coffee roasting.
