Inside O Coffee's Glendale Showroom as Green Beans Become Coffee
A class in O Coffee's Glendale showroom that moves from bean types and processing to a live roast on a San Franciscan SF6.
O Coffee calls its space on North Glendale Avenue a coffee roaster showroom, and the class takes place in that room. The listing caps a shared session at four travelers, and a single booking can include up to four. The class is listed with an English-speaking or a Russian-speaking guide.
Seats are sold per person through the listing below, with the 11:30 AM Saturday session priced above the 11:00 AM weekday ones.
Behind The Scenes Of The Coffee Roasting Process 10190 minutes · Live roast on an SF6 · Up to four travelers per shared session · Full refund up to 24 hours aheadwww.viator.comWhat Happens Between the Green Bean and the Roast
The listing lays the class out in four parts: coffee beans, their types and what marks a coffee as specialty; farming, harvesting and processing; the steps and stages of roasting; and a thorough live demonstration on the SF6 roasting machine. On both the listing and the operator's page, the roast is something you watch live, with each stage explained as it happens. The operator's page also asks you to smell the transformation and to bring your questions.
From Total Beginners to Café Owners
The operator's page opens with a line for beginners: you do not need to know anything about coffee. The listing aims at the other end as well, naming people who already have a coffee shop, plan to open one, work as baristas or offer coffee catering. The operator describes an intimate session where you can ask questions as you go.
A Roaster's Showroom With an Art Corner
O Coffee says its beans are mostly single-origin, each batch roasted to bring out the character of its origin. The room also keeps an Art Corner, which the operator uses to show work by its neighbors and friends.
Four Weekday Mornings and a Later Saturday Start
The calendar runs the class at 11:00 AM on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and at 11:30 AM on Saturday. Tuesday and Sunday have no sessions. As of October 17, 2026, every remaining October session showed as unavailable, and open seats began on Monday, November 2. Cancel at least 24 hours before the start for a full refund; inside 24 hours, nothing is refunded.
