About this class
What you’ll do in the class
We roast two types of East African coffee. First a Kenyan variety and then an Ethiopian variety. (The idea: multiplicative findings arise from a comparison)
We then grind the coffee beans and try them together. Everything on a large wooden table (blackboard).
While roasting coffee, we check the temperature with a handheld meter.
During roasting, you will receive a lot of information about coffee and coffee roasting in general. From history and cultivation to trade, bean quality, etc., accompanied by personal anecdotes from Kenya, the country where I come from on my mother's side and where I started to plant a few coffee trees myself.
- At the beginning, you will receive green coffee beans, a spoon and a pot for roasting coffee
- You get your own seat at a big table
- A stovetop and a casserole are already ready for you to roast coffee, as well as a wooden spoon
- In the pot, we now roast delicious, aromatic coffee together and yet each one at our own stove
- To do this, we put the green coffee beans in the roasting pot and use the wooden spoon to control the coffee
- The coffee will crack and smell wonderful
- The freshly roasted coffee beans need to cool down briefly. That happens in an extra bowl
- We start by roasting the second type of coffee
- After completing both roasts, we grind the coffee in an electric mill
- At the end of the coffee seminar, you can roast coffee yourself
- Of course, we also try the freshly roasted coffee
What is included in the class?
- About 100 g of green coffee beans
- All roasting equipment and tools
- Professional guidance for roasting

I, Angelo, am pleased to be able to organize an exciting and authentic workshop for you. A holistic concept awaits you. In Kenya, for example, we use coffee grounds and plant residues to make biochar to promote climate protection and agriculture.
