Coffee Roasting: Best Practices, the culmination of Scott's 25 years of roasting and consulting. It is the most advanced guide ever written on expert-level coffee roasting. There is little overlap with The Coffee Roaster's Companion, which focused on roasting basics and different roasting machines."CR:BP" focuses solely on advanced techniques for brewing and controlling roast curves, with numerous pages devoted to strategies for avoiding "ROR" crashes and bumps, baked coffee, unnecessary roasting and other roasting defects. This book sets the standard for third wave coffee roasting methodology.
