In the bustling city of Tokyo, where the coffee culture thrives with an ever-growing community of enthusiasts and professionals, our Tasse Coffee Roastery had the pleasure of welcoming a curious student from Canada, embarking on his real-world coffee roasting journey.
Beyond the Screen: The Limitations of Video Learning
Despite having watched over 100 videos on coffee roasting, our Canadian student soon realized the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Video tutorials, while informative and accessible, often fall short of conveying the nuanced, tactile, and sensory aspects of coffee roasting. Recognizing this, he decided to take a step further into the aromatic world of coffee by enrolling in our SCA Coffee Roasting Foundation course.
The Revelation of Hands-On Experience
During the course, he discovered the intricate dance of roasting coffee, where timing, temperature, and intuition play crucial roles in transforming green beans into the richly flavored beans we cherish. He was impressed by the immediate feedback loop that hands-on practice provided, allowing him to understand the roasting process's subtleties in real-time. This direct engagement with the roaster and beans offered insights no video could replicate, from hearing the first crack to smelling the beans' evolving aromas.
The Value of Guided Learning
Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, he learned to navigate the complexities of the roasting process. The course demystified the science behind coffee roasting, from the Maillard reaction to the development of acids and sugars, equipping him with the knowledge to craft the perfect roast profile.
A Transformative Experience
This hands-on experience was not just about mastering a new skill; it was a transformative journey that deepened his appreciation for the art and science of coffee. It underscored the importance of practice, patience, and the pursuit of quality in the craft of coffee roasting.
