Highlights
Outing Highlights
Roast Like a Pro—No Experience Needed
With the high-tech Roastronix S7X and instruction from an expert ‘fire roaster,’ participants push the controls, watch beans change, and bring a custom roast to life in a guided, hands-on session.
Taste Kona Across Roast Levels
The experience includes a coffee tasting flight that lets you compare flavor and roast profiles—light, floral notes through to darker, bolder cups—so you can calibrate your personal roast.
Create and Name Your Own Roast
Every participant packages and names a personal batch to take home—a tangible, branded memory of the session and the craft you helped make.
