  • 5/5 from Mauro Quilici, attended Aug 2026: My instructor was very knowledgeable of how coffee in itself came about. He had a very good set up for one to experience their first time roast-EXCELLENT!!! The most that I liked how was the roasting process. This was a gift for Fathers Day from my children and their spouses!!

  • 5/5 from Cameron Flynn, attended Aug 2024: We had an amazing time with Dan and Donna for the coffee roasting class. We lucked out and it was just the two of us that day, which made it all the more a special experience. Dan walks you through the different processes for roasting beans and it all ends with you roasting your own, which you take home with you. We will definitely recommend Punto Fino to friends!
  • 5/5 from Shereen Shariq, attended Jul 2024: The location and our hosts were beyond what we could have imagined. It felt like we were meeting with long lost family! We learned about the origins of coffee, the processing as well as different ways to roast. Several of our participants stated this was one of their favorite events of the year (and we plan over 200 events a year for our veterans). I highly recommend! 10 out of 5 stars!
  • 5/5 from Ross Sobel, attended Aug 2023: Dan & Donna put on a tremendous experience Great info, hands-on learning and the ability to take home coffee beans you roasted by hand with your newly gained knowledge in an absolutely BEAUTIFUL setting! Very nice people and great time. Highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Courtney Gaskins, attended Jul 2023: My husband and I had a wonderful experience roasting coffee! Dan and Donna were the most welcoming, friendly hosts; we felt right at home immediately. The venue was incredible (outdoor shady private area with amazing views). We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our hands on roasting coffee! Dan and Donna provided some local recommendations and afterwards we had an incredible lunch at Mas Masa (thank you for the suggestion!) I definitely recommend this unique experience.
  • 5/5 from Takako Sabankaya, attended Jun 2023: A team of eight attended Coffee Roasting Class at the expense of the company's employee benefit. It was one of the best ways to spend a day with co-workers We were impressed by the beautifully set up classroom (outdoor on the patio) with lots of flowers & trees. We enjoyed every minute of the three-part class - welcome coffee, learning about coffee roasting with demonstration, and hands-on coffee roasting. Dan the coffee teacher made us feel very welcomed and shared lots of his stories. We all wanted to move in there to hear more stories and enjoy the environment It was a FANTASTIC experience which I can recommend to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Matthew Wiggins, attended Jun 2023: I highly recommend the coffee roasting class hosted by Dan and Donna! It is an immersive experience that is comprehensive yet not overly technical, and I feel like I have all the details I need to start my new hobby after taking this class. Dan and Donna’s hospitality is top notch, the setting unreal, and the coffee is great! Highly recommend this class for coffee lovers or anyone wanting to learn more about coffee process; thanks again for a great experience!
  • 5/5 from Kristi Marks, attended Jun 2023: Such a treat! We had a fantastic time during this experience. The hosts were so warm and knowledgeable about coffee roasting. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good cup of a coffee!
  • 5/5 from Samantha Keh, attended Jun 2023: Dan and Donna are a fun and friendly couple. Prior to the class, they gave me a heads up on the local traffic condition due to a local event. Soon after I arrived, Donna welcomed me with a glass of wonderful coffee which is perfect way to start the class. We set outside while Dan shared his coffee roasting journey including his success, failure, and tips before the hands on experience. They got all the equipment and materials ready to go. No prior prep required. I left with some raw beans, my own roasted beans, and additional ones done by Dan and Donna. The overall is experience is wonderful. I am ready for my own coffee roasting journey! :)
  • 5/5 from Silvia Soriano, attended Jun 2023: This is one of the most enriching and fun classes I've taken in a while. The venue is beautiful and full of nature and positive energy. Dan and Donna are fantastic teachers and hosts, and have a lot of experience with the roasting process. I highly recommend this class to anyone who would like to learn about coffee in a peaceful and relaxing environment.
  • 5/5 from Diana, attended Jun 2023: What a wonderful experience! Dan and Donna were incredibly welcoming and their passion for coffee and hosting guests was evident as soon as we arrived. They made us feel right at home. The class is hosted on their beautiful patio overlooking the Cascade Canyon Preserve. After enjoying a welcome coffee - with options ranging from pour over to latte - Dan shared his coffee roasting journey, which was engaging, informative, and full of humor. Dan provided a roasting demo, and then it was our turn! With Dan's guidance, we hand roasted our own batch of beans to our individual preference. Dan made sure that everyone was successful and happy with their end product, giving us all confidence that maybe we could actually roast our own beans at home! I couldn't have asked for a more fun experience and may have also found a new hobby. :)
  • 5/5 from Kayla Byers, attended May 2023: Incredible experience, lovely location. Dan was a fun teacher who guided us through every step but let us take charge of our own coffee beans! Can't wait to try doing it again at home
  • 5/5 from Olive Ho, attended Sep 2022: The coffee roasting class is top notch with fun coffee facts and a great cup of latte.

  • 5/5 from Abdy Mirzadegan, attended Jul 2022: Great coffee experience with Dan and Donna in a beautiful setting. Dan took us through an entire coffee roasting process and we roasted our our own batches at the end. Very informative, and great for a quick Sunday outing with my wife. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Mark Coursey, attended Jun 2022: This was a highlight of our vacation! My wife and I learned so much and were made to feel like old friends due to the gracious hospitality shown by Dan and Donna. Would highly recommend!

Hi, my name is Dan and I am a coffee enthusiast and have been a home-roaster for over 20 years. Seeking to enhance my skills, I enrolled in the Specialty Coffee Association training and became a
certified roaster. It was through those lessons I discovered my true passion - teaching others how to roast coffee using inexpensive household items. In 2019, I launched Roast Your Own Coffee and have enabled hundreds of people to start their own home-roasting quest for the best coffee.
