This class presents different pieces of equipment found in roasting facilities. By surveying roasting equipment throughout history, participants observe the roles roasters have played in the development of the craft of roasting. In addition, studying the sophistication of equipment throughout the years summarizes how engineers of the past solved problems. By reviewing what worked and what needed to be changed, roasters look at the process of roasting from a different angle than the usual direct, hands-on methods.
