The Roasting Academy is an experiential journey through the roasting process to discover and manage the key drivers of the coffee beans transformation, from the coffee varieties to how the roasting, blending, grinding and degassing processes influence the aroma and taste of the cup.
It offers all the theoretical and practical notions to become a professional roastmaster, with everything you need to know to gain expertise about green coffee, roasting and sensory skills.
The Roasting Academy will be hosted at the IMA Coffee Lab, the new pioneering laboratory placed at IMA Petroncini production site housing a full operational pilot plant from the green coffee intake to cleaning and storaging, roasting, grinding and degassing, plus several packaging solutions. The entire process is accomplished in an area covering 3000 sqm.
