So … what does it actually take to become a great coffee roaster? This week on Coffee Break, Rohan and Ben unpack their chat with roasting legend Anne Cooper (Equilibrium Master Roasters) - and it gets fiery.

We also dive into: - UC Davis’ new research on universal roast colour standards - Dark roast redemption - yes, good dark roasts do exist - Why coffee bag labels might be alienating your customers - And whether the industry needs more open debates to stop gatekeeping knowledge It’s roasting, reimagined - and it might just change how you look at your next bag of beans.
