Here are a few photos I took this week during the German 2016 SCAE roastmaster championship. You see the hosts from SCAE and Probat welcoming the participants, staff explaining the program and protocol to everyone, a brief introduction to the controls of the Probatone 5 roaster to be used by all roastmasters, an introduction by Marko Luther of the Artisan roast logging software and the way it was to be operated, roastmasters preparing for their roast, evaluating their data and everyone chatting at the conclusion of day two.
