Coffee Roasting - Best Practices

"Coffee Roasting: Best Practices" is the culmination of Scott Rao's 25 years' experience as a roaster and consultant. It is the most advanced guide to expert coffee roasting ever written. There is little overlap with his previous book, "The Coffee Roaster's Companion", which focused on the basics of roasting and the different types of roasting machines.

CRBP focuses primarily on advanced techniques for shaping and controlling roast curves, with many pages devoted to strategies for avoiding Rate of Rise (ROR) dips and peaks, baked coffee, unnecessary over-roasting and other roasting defects. This book sets the benchmark for third-wave coffee roasting methodology.
