London Roastmaster with Michael de Renouard
Being a coffee roast master is like being a master chef. To create a superior coffee product you must possess a solid skill set, be able to source good ingredients, and demonstrate excellent judgement.
This workshop will develop your existing skill set and show you ways to improve your workflow. You will learn how to migrate roast profiles, analyse the key events of the roast, how to measure organic material weight loss, the different shades of roast degree and hedonic acceptance to determine the optimal expression of a given coffee.
Intended for both the less experienced as well as the well-seasoned roaster, looking to hone their skills. We won’t be talking about specific preferred roast styles and you won’t be manipulated to roast any different than you already do. The aim is to improve some aspects in your roast profile design to be able to make more balanced coffees.
It will, quite simply, make you a better roaster.
You will learn: Optimise your roast profiles to your roaster · Proper analysis of your roast · Repair less than perfect roast profiles · Chemical and psychical changes during roasting · Aroma/flavour versus whole bean/ground colour and colour delta · Manipulate inside/outside roast development balance to control flavour · Best practices for coffee roasting, protocols and quality tolerance · Roast software and affordable modern roasting tools · Loring Roast Architect · Roast profile templates for various coffees for different expressions and solubility · Cupping, roast colour measuring and discussion (friendly competition) · And more! A diploma is issued for your successful participation.
Michael de Renouard is a Loring Certified Roastmaster, one of only three in the world. He coaches champion roasters and is a sensory consultant for leading coffee brands.
