2-Day Air & Sample Roasting Masterclass at HQJ Coffee School
Master air roasting. Understand the heat. Build profiles with purpose.
The Air & Sample Roasting Masterclass is an intensive hands-on course designed for coffee professionals and coffee enthusiasts who want to understand the roasting process beyond simply following an existing profile.
β
Air and sample roasting systems such as Kaffelogic, LINK, and IKAWA are increasingly used for sample evaluation, roast profile development, and even competition coffee preparation for events such as the Brewers Cup, thanks to their ability to support rapid experimentation, precise control, and evaluation of sensory changes.
β
The learning process follows a continuous cycle:
Roast → Evaluate → Adjust → Repeat
β
Participants will roast coffee, analyze roast data, cup the results, and develop profiles based on their desired sensory outcomes.
The course is particularly suitable for professional roasters, green coffee professionals, coffee educators, and experienced coffee enthusiasts who want greater control over the roasting process—from sample evaluation and profile development to quality control.
By the end of the course, participants will have a stronger foundation in air roasting and greater confidence to develop, troubleshoot, and refine roast profiles on their own equipment.
