We also dive into: - UC Davis’ new research on universal roast colour standards - Dark roast redemption - yes, good dark roasts do exist - Why coffee bag labels might be alienating your customers - And whether the industry needs more open debates to stop gatekeeping knowledge It’s roasting, reimagined - and it might just change how you look at your next bag of beans.
