Learn from a world renowned champion roaster and operate your coffee roasting machine at peak performance at a scheduled event or contact us to schedule a private session.
I really enjoyed the roasting class with Jodi and Mark, it was so insightful and fun. I was beyond excited to learn from two such amazing and knowledgeable instructors.
The class setting was perfect. They kept the class small, so it could be customized. Definitely would recommend it to anyone who wants to tune in their roasting skills.
I felt I was walking on a foggy street, and this class helped me with direction and clarity. Hope I could have the opportunities to learn more from them in the future!
The class was only two days, but was very well structured and balanced -- I wish it could be longer though. Loved it so much!!"

If you purchase a coffee roaster from the San Franciscan Roaster Company, you’re invited to come to our factory in Carson City, Nevada to learn how to roast on our machines. It may be necessary for roastmasters to learn how to roast on our machines specifically since they differ from other industrial roasters. Our team will gladly train you on how to use our machines. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to make the most out of your San Franciscan roaster!
Beginners and experts alike can benefit tremendously from our training programs and coffee roasting classes. It is our goal to impart as much knowledge as possible to our clients. If you’re ready to harness the power of your San Franciscan roaster, contact us today!
