The booth was near the Canadian Barista Championships but we were so busy that it was impossible to attend the skill demonstrations.
The Roastaire™ booth was designed to emulate the look of a Roastaire, coffee roaster, in a roastery café. This layout favours the Theatre of Roasting which invites clients to observe the roasting process. The clientele is able to pose questions to the Roastmaster without having the liability of having someone brush against hot surfaces.
The "roast is arrested" in the Roasting Chamber within seconds then is pneumatically conveyed to the Packaging Area where the beans are cooled for an additional three minutes while the Roastaire™ roasts another batch of beans.
In the picture below Mel, the Roastmaster, is removing the roasted beans from the Cooling Hopper (usually located in the packaging area). The beans are cooled while another batch is roasting. Many people dropped in to view the only functioning Coffee Roaster at the Coffee & Tea Show.
So very close now to a Freshly Roasted cup of coffee.
The tiff to jpg conversion is off which emulates working before enjoying a Freshly Roasted cup of coffee.
After a Freshly Roasted cup of coffee everything just works better. Even technology is receptive!
