His main specialization is the naming and classification (taxonomy) of wild coffee species, which he started in 1997, and is responsible for the discovery of more than 20 new coffee species, previously unknown to science.
In his pursuit to better understand wild coffee species he has travelled widely in Africa and Madagascar, making numerous expeditions to some of the least known places on the planet.
Aaron Davis has become well known for his work on the impact of climate change on Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica), but his research interests also cover the conservation of wild coffee species, DNA studies, coffee pests, industry sustainability, and sourcing for positive livelihood and conservation outcomes.

Samiac Experiment
3 roasters (Tim Wendelboe, Double B Coffee & Tea, Kaffitár) will roast the same coffee on a Samiac drum roaster built in France in 1919.
The control panels on the Samiac are limited and (very) manual.
The roasts will be monitored with modern software, so we can understand the cup quality when we cup the different coffees afterwards.
