Roast your own coffee at home with gear you already have. Green coffee, first crack, development and resting, taught by Brightwave’s head roaster.

Lesson 6 of 8 · Your first roasts

Fresh coffee releases gas for days. Rest your roasts at least three days before judging them.

Brew the same recipe each time so you taste the roast, not the brew.
