What You’ll Learn
From Seed to Cup
Our approach is rooted in connection—to the land, the process, and the craft. Led by Kingha co-founder and roaster Kingsley Griffin, this two-day course will walk you through the entire roasting journey:
Day 1 – Seed to Success
Explore how growing methods shape roast profiles, followed by a guided cupping of light, medium, and dark roasts. You’ll begin hands-on sample roasting with two distinct coffees while learning how beans change at each stage.
Day 2 – From Sample to Production
Dive into equipment, safety, and roast theory, then move into partner-based roasting on both sample and production machines. You’ll identify first crack, log roast data, and craft custom profiles with confidence.
