See what people are saying about our Private Roaster Training >>> "I taught specialized subjects at the college level for 35 years and can say that Mike is a born teacher. He doesn't just show you how; he helps you learn to do it yourself like a master/apprentice concept. I've had 2 trainings with him and can't tell you how much I learned! Highly recommended." - Arch G., October 2019 "Mike will teach you hands on more valuable skills than you could ever read in a book. I will miss being here. I felt like I was temporarily adopted into the Klatch family" - Ryan Clay "Mike's unselfish approach to training is a great benefit to anyone entering or already in the business. His knowledge of both the Roasting + Retail business is invaluable. Most importantly he has a genuine interest in helping you succeed!" - Bart Frabotta "Getting to learn how to roast and taste the subtle nuances in the different timed roasts. I also learned the effects of time, temp, and how it can affect the chemistry. Overall, it's an incredible environment to learn and not feel intimidated." - Khanh Trang "I was looking for the right one-on-one training opportunity and Mike Perry from Klatch Coffee delivered. In three days, not only have my roasting skills improved, but Mike has taught me what I need to do in the lab to continue to improve." - Mike Ayars "A year's hard work plus making mistakes prevented by 2 days of training with Mike!" - Janet San "He caters the training to your needs, asks you questions and adapts a training plan for your unique situation.

I can't describe how much I appreciate Mike's honesty and willingness to share winning formulas for success." - John Jacobson
