Learn about coffee-growing regions, processing methods, and the key differences between Arabica and Robusta. Dive deeper into green coffee evaluation by understanding bean structure, density, moisture content, defects, grading, and ideal storage conditions. The workshop then moves into the fundamentals of coffee roasting, breaking down each stage of the roast- drying phase, Maillard reaction, caramelization, first and second crack, and development time. Participants will also gain insight into roast profile control, including time-temperature balance, airflow management, and development percentage. The session concludes with a live roasting demonstration, offering a practical look at how theory translates into flavor. Designed for curious beginners and coffee enthusiasts alike, this workshop is a hands-on introduction to the science and craft behind great coffee. Where: Maverick & Farmer Coffee, Ulsoor!
