Coffee Roasting Best Practices

Nicely written, it’s compact but full of pertinent information. I would recommend for people with minimally a basic understanding of roasting and it’s terminology

Great information and an easy read

Been roasting by temp, looks, noise, and smell for over a year. Started roasting on a roaster that tracks the roast and this book has really helped me understand what to look for and what I can do to improve my roasts. Good buy :)

This book give knowledge and motivation about coffee roasting.

Good resource if you are new at roasting. It is geared towards drum roasting and arguably more for larger drums but the principle is the same. Glad I picked it up.

If you are someone that has roasted for a little while and is looking to up your game, this book is amazing. If you haven't I recommend Rao's Coffee Roasting Companion to start, then definitely get this book.

Rao assumes you have some experience roasting and that you are familiar with roasting terminology, which can make its 93 pages a fairly dense tome without prior knowledge. But if you have experience or are willing to wrestle with the terms until you understand, this book is an absolute life saver. It shortcut me to great roasts and saved me a lot of bad batches with some very applicable technical advice.

You can tell Rao has a wealth of knowledge about roasting and he is sharing some real gems in an easy to read and insanely usable resource.

If you want to roast great coffee, please read this book.

Some insightful information delivered in straight forward manner with an interesting look into the 1% of the known coffee roasting universe. Not a definitive "how to" guide but some useful recomendations on procedure, between batch protocals and the like. Would suggest it to anyone looking to improve their roasting.
