Scott Rao is a US-based coffee author, roaster, and consultant. He is the writer of three reference books that have shaped specialty coffee professionals worldwide: The Professional Barista's Handbook (2008), Everything But Espresso (2010), and The Coffee Roaster's Companion (2014).

His work codified concepts now standard in the industry — including the "Rao Spin" agitation technique for pour-over, the use of refractometry and extraction yield (TDS / EY%) as objective brewing metrics, and roast development time ratio (DTR) as a roasting variable. He works internationally as a roasting consultant, advises wholesale roasteries, and runs advanced roasting masterclasses.

Gota catalogues his published brewing recipes for V60, Chemex, French Press, and other pour-over devices.
