Highlights
  • Fairfax - Master the craft of coffee roasting while basking in the serene ambiance of an outdoor terrace with a view of the lush slopes of the Mt. Tamalpais Watershed in Marin County.

Savor a cup from our curated coffee selection as you explore a variety of common home-roasting techniques, some of which utilize everyday household items. This roasting workshop is perfect for novices, and we encourage you to inquire about any coffee-related topics.

Enhance your perceptual skills as you witness the transformation of raw coffee in an open roaster, taking in the visual, auditory, and olfactory changes as the beans turn from green to a rich brown hue.

Subsequently, your instructor will demonstrate the use of a manual roaster on a flame-based stove. Then, you’ll step into the role of a roasting expert by warming up your own ceramic roaster, introducing unroasted beans, and maintaining a steady stir to monitor the evolution of your roast. Upon completion of the workshop, you’ll depart as a skilled coffee roaster, equipped with your own roasted coffee and an additional bag of raw beans for home roasting.

Our experience has garnered over 100 Five-Star evaluations on various platforms.

Roasting Yoda - Dan and Donna were exceptional host! They have a beautiful house and setup in a small charming town just outside of San Francisco. I highly recommend this class for anyone who loves coffee! Dan knows so much about coffee roasting and has a great appreciation for coffee. He turned his passion for coffee into a purposeful business that teaches and shows people different ways to roast their own coffee. We were able to try his own roast, which was amazing. And for my first time I tried cascara tea, tea made from the coffee’s cherry fruit, it was so light and refreshing. I hope to visit again, to increase my knowledge about roasting my own beans!

Amazing Experience - My experience with Punto Fino Coffee was a special one. Dan was our guide for this roasting experience and he didn’t disappoint. The roast was hosted at his lovely home tucked away on a wooded hillside in Fairfax (Amazing view I must say). Dan started off with some basic worldly knowledge about coffee and then got into different roasting techniques, sharing a couple of his passionate stories about coffee along the way (very enthusiastic and knowledgeable). The part most special to me was actually roasting the coffee beans over the open flame. Putting the knowledge I just learned to the test was a very gratifying experience. I look forward to drinking my freshly roasted coffee with my partner at home. At the end they have beginner roasting kits for sale so you can continue your roasting experience and you can even snag some cool merch! Overall the experience was very educational and would highly recommend to coffee enthusiasts or beginners alike! You won’t be disappointed.
