✔️ Understand the fundamental mechanics and maintenance of roasting machines, and learn how to build solid roasting protocols.

✔️ Learn how to evaluate roasts through NOMAD's specific cupping protocols and utilize them to refine your profiles.

The Key to Consistency: Strict Protocols

Standardizing every process into protocols and ensuring all team members follow them to the letter is one of NOMAD's most valued principles for consistent reproduction. They manage every minor detail—preheating the roasting machine at 200°C for an hour, maintaining 180°C between batches, standardizing chaff cleaning times, and even banning phone usage during roasting.

Through this strict approach, NOMAD ensures that even someone with no prior roasting experience can flawlessly reproduce their roasts after just two weeks of training. In this course, you will learn exactly what protocols to build and which tools to utilize to create an environment designed for absolute consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it okay if I don't use a Probat roaster?

The lessons from this course can be applied to most roasting machines. However, using a roaster that supports logging software will help you apply what you've learned more effectively.

How does this compare to other roasting courses?

Because there is no single correct answer in coffee roasting, we cannot say one course is simply "better." Every expert has a different background and values different criteria. The most reliable method is to taste NOMAD's coffee and see if it aligns with the coffee profile you aim to pursue.

How long do I have access?

After purchasing the course, you will have access for one year.

What is the refund policy?

If you are unhappy with the course, we will provide a refund within 30 days of the enrollment date. You can find the details on our terms and conditions page.
