What some Happy Coffee Roasters had to say:
Just wanted to say thank you once again for the weekend, it was great to be exposed to some great info and the opportunity to use a variety of different roasters.
- Michael, Cabrito Coffee
Education is everything. Don’t ever stop learning. It will be the best thing for your career as a roaster to do Anne’s roasting course!
- Richard, Silipo Coffee
I'm working over my roaster at the moment busting out a 30kg order. I'm not joking when I say I'm getting some of the best results I've ever had!! I seriously can't be happier Anne! I'm now super, super excited!!
Initially I was hesitant to come to the course because I thought that $1000 could be better spent elsewhere. But I'm so, so glad now, that's $1000 of beans I would have butchered previously and now I have a solid base of knowledge to steer me in a better direction than where I was going.
I’m so glad I was able to partake in this course. The abundance of knowledge was priceless. For once I got to nerd out with other like-minded people! Thank you so much!!
- Brendon, Melbourne
