Kingha Coffee Roasting Classes
Kingha Hands-On Roasting Course
Kingha Coffee isn’t just a roastery—it’s a farm, a philosophy, and a full-circle coffee experience. And now, we’re opening our doors to those ready to learn. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast, aspiring roaster, or future café owner, this intensive course will give you the hands-on skills and grounded knowledge to roast with confidence and purpose.
This isn’t just a class—it’s your gateway into the world of coffee roasting, taught by the people who grow it. Whether you’re sharpening your skills or starting from scratch, this course will deepen your connection to coffee and give you the tools to create your own roast journey.
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.

Looking to level up your roasting skills, explore a new passion, or launch your own roasting business? Join us for an immersive, two-day experience led by industry expert Kingsley Griffin, co-founder of Kingha Coffee. This hands-on workshop takes you from the coffee tree to the final roast—with real-world mentorship every step of the way.
Day 1 – Seed to Success
We begin at origin. You’ll learn how growing conditions affect roast profiles, explore roast levels through guided tastings, and sample roast two distinct coffees. From cultivation to cup, you’ll understand how flavor develops with every stage.

Now it’s all about technique. We’ll dive into drum roaster mechanics, safety protocols, and apprentice-style roasting. You’ll roast across light, medium, and dark profiles on both sample and production roasters while learning to log data and build your own roast profiles.
