Ever wondered how NOMAD roasts their coffee?
Come with me (RoasterKat) a behind-the-scenes tour to visit NOMAD in Barcelona, Spain. We get the inside scoop from roaster ambassador, Laura, and get an up-close look at how their team runs this immaculate setup (utilizing two Probat roasters) to roast some very impressive coffees.
