Beyond the fantastic support I’ve found on Facebook, I’ve also discovered some incredibly valuable communities right here on Reddit. While Facebook groups offer a broad range of interactions, these Reddit communities tend to be more direct and laser-focused on specific roasting challenges.
If you’re looking for technical guidance, troubleshooting equipment issues, or diving deep into the nuances of roast profiles, I highly recommend checking out these subreddits. What I appreciate most is the straightforward and often very technical nature of the discussions. You can usually find answers to specific problems or confidently post your own questions knowing you’ll likely get insightful responses from fellow enthusiasts and even some experienced professionals.
For me, these Reddit communities have been instrumental in understanding the finer points of roasting and have helped me navigate some of the trickier aspects of the process. If you’re serious about honing your roasting skills and aren’t afraid of getting into the technical details, these are definitely the places to be.
Here are the subreddits I’ve found particularly helpful:
- r/roasting/: https://www.reddit.com/r/roasting/
- r/coffee_roasters/: https://www.reddit.com/r/coffee_roasters/
- r/Coffee/: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/
- While broader, this subreddit often has insightful discussions about roasting as well
Whether you’re a seasoned home roaster or just starting out, I encourage you to explore these Reddit communities. You’ll find a wealth of information and a supportive environment for all your roasting inquiries. Happy browsing and happy roasting!
