Exciting news! I'm doing a series of pictures about Noble Coffee Roasting's move from roasting coffee in the garage to opening a cafe and roaster in Ashland!
Some of the pictures should be accompanying an article by James di Properzzio in Fresh Cup magazine in the spring. In the meantime, I'll be editing and uploading some of my favorites.

A roaster can check the progress of the roast by removing small samples and checking bean color. To be honest, I believe there's more to it than that, but I'll have to ask next time I'm taking pictures. :)
