Introduction to Roasting

  • KW Coffee Collective 50 Ottawa St South, Unit 110 Kitchener Canada (map)

Our mission is to eliminate the barriers to entry into coffee roasting and give you all the support needed to roast your own coffee. Not everyone who starts roasting knows how to do it from day one, but our team will have you up and roasting in no time.

Every member will be required to attend an Introduction to Roasting class. This 5 hour class is split into 3 sections; roasting theory, roasting practice, and orientation through the packing station and coffee lab. Plus a lunch break.

Once our members complete this class, they will have a basic understanding of roasting and our equipment. Members will then have access to the schedule and can start booking their sessions.


Class includes:

  • Green Coffee Basics followed by a Cupping in our Coffee Lab

  • Roasting Theory & Safety

  • Roasting Practice

    • 3 x 6kg batches of green coffee that you and your fellow classmates work together to roast. You’ll roast 3 different roast levels: a Dark, a Medium, and a Light

    • Take Home some of Your Roasted Coffee to Brew & Share with Others

  • Orientation of the Packaging Station

  • A KWCC Roasting Guidebook to Take Home

  • A Copy of “The Coffee Roaster's Companion” by Scott Rao

Depending on discussions and number of attendees (we like how collaborative the classes can be when everyone shares and/or asks questions), the class can end as early as 2:30 or go as late as 3:30.

Please Note:

  • We need a minimum of 3 sign-ups to run the class. We will contact anyone who has purchased a spot to reschedule or process a refund.

  • Once you sign up, you’ll receive a confirmation email and we will reach out a day before the class with additional information.
