here's only one word to describe this issue: Roasted. Our annual roasting issue is a yearly
supplement designed to bring together the latest trends, pro les, innovations and interesting
stories from the world of co ee roasters. e following pages do that and more.
In addition to the annual guide (see page 24), there's also a Roasting Equipment roundup (see
page 32) and a Q&A with Hoboken Co ee Roasters (see page 8).
Since roasting has become such a hot topic, we're also expanding our coverage throughout
the year. is issue contains the debut of Ready to Roast (see page 18), a new column designed
to provide in-depth information about an interesting roaster or roasting equipment manufacturer. Going forward Ready to
Roast will alternate with Tea Essentials, a new part of our expanded tea coverage.
For readers who just can't get enough roasting coverage, Ready to Roast will hold you over until the next April issue, which
will once again be packed cover-to-cover with roasting content.
