Coffee roasting is very much like painting. There are many ways to do it - this course covers the basics of roasting, specifically Nordic roasting: a style that started approximately 20 years ago, Nordic roasting has since gained popularity outside the Scandinavian region.
Patrik, who has been roasting in the Nordic style for 10+ years, controls numerous variables such as the green coffee, batch size, burner setting, start temperature, in-between protocol etc. even before roasting.
When roasting, he uses the exhaust or environment temperature rather than the initial bean temperature or rate of rise to gain more context.
