Common Grounds Ottawa: Roast Smarter. Buy Better.

We’re a community sharing knowledge, resources, and insights to help you grow your craft. Whether you’re just starting or running a small operation, you'll find the support and connections you need to roast smarter.

And the best part? Our buying collective solves the cost problem:

Our members gain access to a world of exclusive green and specialty lot coffees at the wholesale pricing normally reserved only for those who buy an entire 60kg or 69kg sack.

You get the bulk-sack price, without the bulk-sack commitment.

Join fellow Ottawa home roasters for a hands-on cupping experience built around one shared green coffee from Common Grounds Ottawa. Each participant brings their best roast to the table, then cups side-by-side to explore how different choices shape flavour. Roasters present their approach — equipment, charge temps, roast curves, airflow, goals, and lessons learned — and receive structured, constructive feedback. Taste multiple interpretations of the same coffee, compare techniques across different home setups, and trade practical tips with people roasting just like you. Come learn, share, and deepen your craft through collective experience. Registration is limited. $25 for non-members.
