About Temple Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 82/100
Five Reddit contributors give a largely positive view of Temple Coffee Roasters with one value caveat. One describes brighter, nutty, and toasted flavors from Guatemala Hunapu. Another calls the Dharma blend an all-time favorite espresso. A repeat buyer says about 24 of 25 bags were exceptional and appreciates free brewed samples in Temple cafes. Another says Wonderblend had been great, while a Sacramento visitor says their cafe drink was good but not worth a seven-dollar latte price.

...t was brewing!! I always do a V60 in the morning and I do a coffee club so I've always got pretty good beans.

- r/Coffee · 125↑ · Some coffee just sucks...
My suggestion is to wait for a response from Temple Coffee. I have purchased approximately 25 bags of their coffee and all but one has been exceptional, IMHO. They may offer to send a replacement bag. I appreciate how they offer free brewed samples in their cafes - a practice that I wish other roasters would follow too
- r/Coffee · 15↑ · Extraction of blends vs single origins
I have only bought single origins for the last couple years, but ventured to try wonderblend by temple. It has been great so far, but made me raise the question: Are the two different origins in a blend extracted at different rates? Essentially, are the Colombian grounds under extracted and the Ethiopian grounds over e

I'm looking for recommendations in Sacramento (downtown area, preferably) Thanks! Edit: thank you for the recommendations! I went to Temple. It was good, but not $7 latte good. I'll try Scorpio next time.

Cherrybook summary of the video
This video features a roaster from Temple Coffee Roasters explaining their approach to roast profiling. The roaster demonstrates how they manipulate heat and airflow during the roasting process to highlight specific flavor compounds in the coffee.
Inside this video
From Wendy Walker:
“My philosophy on roasting is really to accentuate the desirable flavors of the coffee and take out the less desirable flavors of the coffee.”
“The profiling process starts with understanding what you like about a coffee and understanding how those flavor traits react with different types of heat manipulation.”
