Roasting Consulting

About Markus
Markus has been roasting coffee in New Zealand for over 7 years and has more than 13 years’ experience in the café industry. During this time, he has worked with both small and large roasting companies to refine techniques, solve problems, and improve consistency. Now, he’s opening the opportunity to share his skills and help others become successful coffee roasters.

In New Zealand, quality roasting education is difficult to find and often treated as a “closed-door” secret. Markus’ goal is to change that—making roasting knowledge accessible, practical, and tailored to real-world challenges.

As the café and coffee industry in NZ (and globally) shifts toward in-house roasting, Markus has chosen to embrace this change rather than resist it. By adapting with the times, he now offers direct support and training to help businesses and individuals succeed in their roasting journey.

  • Roast curve analysis

  • Remote roasting support (worldwide) – Using TeamViewer, Markus can connect directly to your roasting setup and guide you in real time.

Unlike larger consultants who often juggle many clients, Markus runs a smaller, more focused operation. That means you’ll get timely replies, hands-on support, and highly personalized attention—without the premium price tag. While others may boast more years of experience, Markus’ approach is especially suited for beginners and small businesses who don’t need (or can’t afford) large-scale consulting packages.
