You provide the coffee, we provide the expertise and the coffee roaster. We will work with you to schedule the session.
For the small roasting business or pro-sumer, this session allows you to experiment with a coffee you are already familiar with on one of the most sophisticated drum roasters available using Giesen’s latest and most advanced roasting software.
During this approximately 1-1.5 hour session, participants will roast three batches of coffee they provide (.5 to 1 kilo batches). Roasters will have the opportunity to alter one or more of several variables like drum speed and drum air flow- variables you may not be able to alter on the coffee roasters you are using now - in order to find the full potential of your coffee. (We can provide green coffee if you don’t have coffee to roast.)
You will take home the coffee you roast (for resale perhaps) and you will get a detailed PDF of the roast profile, including roast curve and all power, air, drum speed adjustments.
Given this is a private class, we can certainly tailor the class to your needs and as with any of our roasting classes, we are happy to accommodate your schedule if this time doesn’t work for you.
In 2024, Chuck was awarded a 96 from Coffee Review on a coffee from Yemen, a notoriously difficult coffee to roast. This same coffee was chosen as the #4 coffee of the year on Coffee Review’s Top 30 Coffees of 2024.
In January 2025 Chuck was awarded a 94 for his roast profile on our Kenya Kii coffee, followed by a 95 for a Guatemalan Pacamara coffee — another tricky varietal to roast. The Guatemala coffee landed at #23 on Coffee Review’s Top 50 Coffees of the Year 2025 and was the highest rated non-Geisha coffee from Guatemala for the year. In November of 2025, Chuck was awarded a 96 for his roast on a La Esmeralda natural Geisha, another incredibly sensitive coffee that requires a lot of care and attention in the roaster.
After your purchase the class we will work around your schedule to find a time for the session if these dates don not work out for you. The class will last approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
