Lately I've been thinking of pre-roasting some of the stuff I want people to taste in my next class for more reliable results and hopefully to provoke better conversations around those. If I do that, there are a couple of follow on things I'd like to do since I'll have already done the hard part:
One is doing a ticketed event at the shop where I can give a more general audience version of the class (change up the lecture, no roasting, simplify the tasting).
The other is maybe putting a Roasting Styles Exploration sample kit up for pre-order. I figure I could do one version of that with roasted coffee and supporting information and another version that also includes some green coffee so home roasters can either try to replicate their favorite sample or hypothesize a different approach tailored to their preferences.
