Hi All,

I am looking for a roasting apprenticeship somewhere in the Los Angeles area.


My skills: I have a PhD in Biochemistry and over a decade and a half of experience and knowledge of chemical extraction and chemical pathways. In addition, I have over 15 peer reviewed papers in top tier scientific journals and patents for cancer, diabetes and stroke therapeutics. I work well in teams and love to learn and share knowledge.

I have been researching coffee growing, drying, roasting, and brewing for the last year or so. I am physically fit and have a reliable automobile and have the will and desire to make this happen.

Please let me know if you'd like to chat or see my resume. Thanks and Best!

I can't help you as I live in Ireland but kudos on your efforts to find an apprenticeship.

Not all roasters are Coffee Forums members so have you just gone door-to-door offering to work for folks? You probably have but I had to ask. If you haven't I think that is the best way to get in touch with people, just go face-to-face. The more you network the more chances you'll have at finding a home.

Best wishes1
 
@expat: Thanks for the good wishes and the advice. Posting on this forum is an auxiliary plan as the roasters I petitioned to apprentice with have brushed me off big time.

I really didn't think it would be too difficult to find some like minded people in the area who wanted to explore the chemistry of coffee roasting and extraction with an added bonus of free labor!

Thanks again and I'll keep pounding the pavement!
Best!
 
@poison Any particular reason? Are they looking for someone? Or is their coffee really good? Thanks.
