The Sample Roasting Protocol

The Sample
Roasting Protocol

Why we use a sample roasting protocol

Consistent roasting of samples is critical for making good buying decisions. If a coffee sample disappoints, there is a chance that it was not roasted properly. You could potentially dismiss a perfect coffee.

As an importer, we use a protocol. This is because we receive thousands of samples a year. We use a simple set of steps that enable us to roast uniformly. Everyone on the Quality team follows these rules because we need to asses every coffee the same way.

If you don’t have a protocol in place for your team, you can download this one. Use it, or find inspiration to make your own set of rules. The key to good quality assessment is consistency.
