Roaster Maker

Better Coffee, Together.ECRE(formerly known asCRS).

ECRE Academy

A whirlwind one day roasting course that provides you with the knowledge and practical experience you need to start roasting your own.

<h3>We&#x27;ll say it straight: if you don&#x27;t understand how coffee roasting works, then you don&#x27;t really understand coffee.</h3>If you somehow manage to brew raw green coffee without breaking your grinder burrs, you&#x27;ll find that it&#x27;s pretty yucky and not coffee-like at all. That&#x27;s because coffee is a roasted product–all those delicious flavours and aromas in your brew didn&#x27;t exist in the raw product. As a brewer, you are limited to extracting the flavour present in the beans. As a roaster, you create flavour.<h3>Who is this course for?‍</h3>This course is perfect to lay the foundations for anybody wishing to start a roasting career, to roast coffee at home, or for anybody simply wishing to expand their coffee knowledge.<h3>What will I get out of it?‍</h3>Besides the take-home bags of coffee roasted by you, you&#x27;ll be leaving with an entirely transformed understanding of coffee. There will be lots of learning, as well as plenty of tasting, smelling, feeling, and yes, roasting.Have you ever wondered...<ul><li> Which flavours in your brew are contributed by the origin, varietal or processing, and which flavours are created through the roasting?</li><li>How do different types of roasts change a coffee&#x27;s flavour? </li><li>This coffee sucks! Is it my fault for brewing it badly? The roaster&#x27;s fault for roasting it badly? Or is poor quality green coffee to blame?</li></ul>We&#x27;ll explore all these questions (and much more) during the course. And of course, you&#x27;ll learn how to roast coffee in a manner that maximises its sweetness, clarity of flavour and overall deliciousness.The class is capped at four people so you&#x27;ll get plenty of individual attention.<h3>PLANNED TIMETABLE</h3>9.30 Theory: a quick history lesson on coffee and roasting9:50 Practice: cupping 1 [roast level comparison]10:30 Break10:40 Theory and practice: what makes different coffees taste different?11:00 Practice: cupping 2 [same roast, different coffees]11:40 Break11:50 Theory: roast profiling12:05 Practice: Roasting demo12:45 Lunch1:30 Theory: the relationship between roasting and brewing1:45 Practice: roasting / sensory training / green grading5:30 We&#x27;re done!COVID-19To reduce any risk of viral transmission, we&#x27;ve adapted the course by reducing the class sizes, limiting cross-contamination and increasing ventilation.
