Kat Melheim Gives a Lesson on Roasting

We're baaaacccck!!! Happy Autumn and we've got another fun and educational season of caffeinated learning ahead.

We begin our season's lesson with Roasting. We talk with the talented Kat Melheim, who isn't shy and loves sharing her knowledge.

Kat Melheim (she/any) - aka: Roaster Kat - is a roaster, writer, content creator, artist, and all around coffee person. She started in the coffee industry 10 years ago as a barista, and learned to roast in 2017. In 2018 Kat started Coffee People Zine, a print coffee and art publication that celebrates the creativity of the coffee community. That same year she started an Instagram account called Roaster’s Apprentice, to chronicle the things she was learning on the job, through trial and error, at roasting events and seminars, etc. That account has since become @roasterkat - a platform where Kat shares tips and tricks for roasters, behind-the-scenes roastery content, and things she learns and encounters as a coffee professional. From publishing a print zine to sharing roasting knowledge online, Kat’s passion is encouraging, equipping, and emboldening other coffee pros to share their creations with the world.
