Description
Watch +80 SCA Colombian green beans travel through a full roast curve, guided live by a certified Q-grader at a specialty coffee shop in Bogotá. This isn't a slideshow — the roast happens in front of you, and the Q-grader narrates every decision as it's being made: charge temperature, first crack, development time, drop. Over 75 minutes you'll learn the science and the craft behind building flavor: how heat, airflow and time turn a grassy green bean into chocolate, citrus, caramel or stone fruit. You'll see how a 15-second call at first crack can reshape the entire cup, and why the same coffee can taste like three different drinks depending on the curve. At the end, you cup the exact batch that just came off the roaster — one of the freshest cups of coffee you'll ever taste, and the clearest way to connect what you saw at the machine with what lands in the cup. You leave with a 340 g bag of that same coffee and a real framework for reading any label. Green beans come from 12 traceable Colombian farms selected by sensory profile, and groups are capped at 10.Includes
