Classes, Consulting, and Mentorship for Coffee Roasters

I can’t wait to work with you…

    Classes

    Whether you’re looking to join one of Rob’s pre-existing classes or have him build a class specifically for your roasting team, you’ll find what you’re looking for here. I offer specialized classes for people roasting on Loring roasters, as well as courses focused on traditional drum roasters.

    Consulting

    I consult with roasters worldwide via Zoom and work with people in person at my roasting lab. I have quick call options at 25 minutes, longer format sessions at 55, and the option to roast together over Zoom. Additionally, I can remotely taste and assess your coffee and roast profiles.

    Mentorship

    Working with coffee roasters over the long term — mentoring them through their growth and challenges — is something I care deeply about. For years, I worked with clients in a more à la carte style, often diagnosing the same problems again and again. Now, I offer ongoing mentorship that allows us to go deeper, track progress over time, and focus on meaningful development in both skill and confidence.

    New to Roasting

    If you’re brand new to roasting, and want someone to work with you as you grow, I’m here for you as well. Coffee roasting is complicated, but it doesn’t have to be hard… and you don’t have to learn it alone. Join me for an introduction to coffee roasting that will give you a solid foundation to draw from as you progress from a unsure beginner to a confident coffee roaster.
