Thrive Farmers - Production Roaster

In the Tony & Libba Rane Culinary Science Center, there will be a micro coffee roastery where students will be immersed in the process of making artisanal coffee beverages from bean to cup. Roasting, grinding, tamping, pouring, and serving will be just a few of the hands-on learning activities for student training. Hotel guests and local patrons who visit the roastery will taste the quality of Auburn-roasted beans in every cup of handcrafted coffee.

The Production Roaster will execute the day-to-day roasting and production fulfillment needs of The Roastery and collaborate with all coffee outlets in AUHCC, HEY DAY, and AULUA to provide roasted (whole bean or ground) coffee, brewing recipes, cleaning guides, and quality control.

In addition to roasting, the Production Roaster will also work closely with the Roasting Supervisor and Director of Coffee on green purchasing decisions and quality analysis through physical measurements and regular cupping. This position will also be an integral part of the hands-on instruction and learning activities for student training during labs and classes.
