Who is Roast Art?
Want to roast your own coffee at home? Roast Art sells the green beans and the roaster to do it. The idea, in their words, is "bringing the art of coffee roasting to everyone." The roasters it lists include the fully automatic AIDA, with a 1kg drum, and the semi-automatic GEMMA, which takes 500g to 2kg. Roast Art is an independent specialty roaster based in Thomastown, Melbourne, and has been going since 2015. It also roasts single origins from Africa, Asia, America and the South Pacific. Rather someone else did the roasting? There are blends such as Roma, Tuscany and Amalfi, plus a decaf, and a subscription page. Cafés can ask about wholesale coffee and a free loan roaster. Locals can grab a takeaway from the window on the next Bunnings run.
