Are you toying with the idea of roasting coffee commercially, or would you like to put your knowledge on a truly professional footing? Our Professional Coffee Roaster Workshop is far more than just a course – it is comprehensive training.
Over three intensive days, the coffee roasting course takes you from the plant through the technology all the way to legally sound costing. Under the personal guidance of coffee roaster Jens Kirmse, in the inspiring atmosphere of our artisan coffee roastery in the Bavarian Forest, you will learn everything you need to succeed in the world of coffee.
Before we move on to the big machines, we dive deep into the subject. Our coffee museum and coffee storehouse serve as a living classroom:
Part 1 of the training
We have divided the Professional Coffee Roaster Workshop into four core areas so that after three days of coffee roaster training you are ready to get started straight away:
Part 2 of the training
A morning in our roastery
From the jute sack to the finished bean: this is how a roast works at our roastery – and exactly these steps are what you practise yourself on the roasting machine in the professional workshop.
1Green coffee from the store
The green beans come straight from the jute sack in our coffee store.
2Checking with all senses
The scent of the green coffee reveals a lot about the freshness and quality of the harvest.
3Inspecting the green coffee
Size, colour and evenness of the beans give the first hints for the roast profile.
4Into the drum
The green coffee drops from the hopper into the preheated roasting drum – the roast begins.
5Pulling a sample
With the sampling spoon we take a few beans out of the drum again and again during the roast.
6A look through the sight glass
Through the sight glass you can follow how the beans change inside the drum.
7The scent tells
Grassy, bready, caramel: the scent of the sample shows how far the roast has come.
8Into the cooling tray
Once the roast level is reached, the beans drop into the cooling tray. Stirring arms and air cool them quickly – which stops the roast.
9A final check
Before the coffee moves on, we take one more close look at the result of the roast.
10Filling
The cooled coffee runs from the cooling tray into the container – ready for packing.
The training is tailored individually to your prior knowledge and goals. Book one of our fixed dates or request your preferred date. Whether you roast for your own use or want to start your own business: here you will get the concentrated knowledge of years of experience.
