Chapter 3 · Part I — How I Got Here
Building Gold Roast from Scratch
Gold Roast was developed as a purpose-built product through repeated coffee selection, processing changes, testing, and refinement—not by relabelling conventional coffee.
Chapter summary
The concise reading
Scott explains how an outsider’s willingness to question conventional roasting assumptions led to a proprietary three-stage process that includes roasting. The chapter distinguishes the product’s unusual light, roasted-peanut character from an ordinary roast level.
“Once I had decided the coffee itself mattered, I had to make it.”
