🧪 RoastScience Journal — The Science & Intelligence of Coffee Roasting, Powered by Bahrain Roastery

🔬 RoastScience Journal: Bahrain’s Scientific Coffee Roasting Authority

Welcome to RoastScience Journal, the official research and innovation platform of Bahrain Roastery — the GCC’s first and only coffee roastery driven by scientific knowledge, advanced technology, and industrial-grade precision.

RoastScience Journal is more than a publication. It’s a declaration of Bahrain Roastery’s commitment to transforming coffee roasting from a traditional craft into a data-driven discipline. Through rigorous research, cutting-edge experimentation, and global collaboration, we aim to position Bahrain as a regional leader in coffee science and industrial roasting innovation.

🌍 Our Vision: Scientific Leadership in the GCC Coffee Industry

RoastScience Journal was born from a bold vision: to make Bahrain the epicenter of coffee roasting research in the Middle East. Our goals include:

  • Establishing Bahrain Roastery as the GCC’s scientific authority on coffee roasting

  • Educating professionals and enthusiasts through peer-reviewed insights and technical publications

  • Driving innovation in AI-assisted roasting, flavor chemistry, and industrial scalability

  • Building global partnerships with academic institutions, equipment manufacturers, and coffee labs

We are proud to be the first roastery in Bahrain and the GCC to publish a journal dedicated to the science of coffee.
