Classes, Consulting, and Mentorship for Coffee Roasters

I can’t wait to work with you…

    Roasting Consultation - In Person

    Set up a time to meet with Rob Hoos in person at your facility. Currently, only for roasters in the Greater Indianapolis Area. Rob will come to your facility and setup a customized consulting plan to help you and your team get what you want out of your coffee and roaster.

    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.
