How much does coffee cultivar actually influence roast behavior and flavor? For years, terroir and processing have taken center stage—while cultivar was overlooked. But Cultivar: A Practical Guide for Coffee Roasters by Rob Hoos challenges that narrative head-on.

Whether you’re roasting Typica, Maragogipe, Pacamara, Gesha, or other Arabica varieties, this book provides suggested roast profiles tailored to each genetic group, helping you unlock the full flavor potential of each cultivar.
Written by a veteran with 16 years of roasting experience and 12 years as a coffee consultant, this guide is practical, focused, and designed to elevate your craft—one variety at a time.
