Going back to that "do shots die?" thing, I worked at Starbucks a long time ago and was always skeptical of that reasoning. Especially since people regularly drink espresso that's cooled down to drinkable temp. One time a guy brought his latte back and complained saying it tasted bad because his shot died sitting on the counter. Pretty sure it was just bad coffee or maybe a bad extraction. When I worked there they would use a shot as long as it was between 18-28 seconds. Pretty wide window haha. Though maybe their over roasted coffee is easier to extract and a shorter shot is fine 🤷

What happens to roast batches that don’t make the quality control cut? It seems like there’s a lot of trials in the production roasting process. Do you lose a lot of coffee during those early production roasts?

Good question! We try to have zero waste, so we use the left over coffee for training (i.e. latte art and if it's generally good, extraction science) and we just drink it at HQ.

Have you guys dabbled in air roasting, or have a preference over drum roasting/air roasting?

We have a Loring S15, which is an air roaster. We roasted on a Diedrich IR-12 prior to this, so we've had experience with both. Drum roasters are generally better for darker profiles and more body in final beverage, whereas air roasters roast faster (largely thanks to the ability for inlet temperature to be extremely high since air can't cause scorching or tipping at the beginning of a roast) and produce better cup clarity as a result of better inner bean development. Both have their places and I could certainly understand why larger scale roasters would want one of each - drum for blend components / darker coffees and air roaster for single origins and lighter coffees.

Appreciate the in depth answer! It’s totally on par with what I’ve been told before. My buddy and I want to purchase a commercial roaster soon and are thinking of going with one of each to be able to offer a wide variety of options.
