Huge thanks to Cafe Imports for creating these videos. I’m an avid home roaster who occasionally daydreams of starting a roasting company. Unfortunately, my career requires me to move every few years, so I haven’t been able to apprentice with a pro roaster. Beyond the books by Rao and Hoos, content from places like Cafe Imports and Mill City has been instrumental in my education and growth. With hard work, continuous learning, and occasionally riding on the backs of exceptional coffees that outshine my talent, I’ve been able to roast some coffees that I believe are truly superb. Thank you!
