Roast Your Own Coffee

If you’ve ever wondered how to roast coffee at home, this coffee class near San Francisco will teach you everything you need to know! In this fun, hands-on workshop, you will learn a new skill and roast your own batch of coffee.

Enjoy a barista-crafted coffee while examining several popular home-roasting methods, some using tools easily found in many homes. This roasting class is great for beginners, and you can ask questions on any aspect of coffee. As you gather around an open roaster, your senses will come alive as you witness the mesmerizing transformation of green coffee beans into rich, aromatic browns. You'll gain a deeper understanding of the roasting process and its impact on flavor profiles.

Next, your guide will explain using a handheld roaster over an open-flame stove. Now, you take charge as the coffee maestro by pre-heating your ceramic roaster, adding green beans, and applying a gentle motion while watching the progress of your roast develop to the level you desire. When your session ends, you will leave as an accomplished coffee roaster with your personally roasted beans.

You'll learn the art of coffee roasting on an outdoor patio overlooking the rolling hills of Marin County. Enjoy the beautiful day with a group of friends looking for fun activities in the Bay Area! This class will also make for a unique birthday gift idea or team-building activity for small groups.
