Our Process
How We Roast Our Gourmet Coffees!
The concept was simple – maintain the quality of small batch coffee roasting while satisfying large wholesale customers. Freshness of our coffee is paramount and our plant was designed to accommodate this.
Technique
Our craft roaster built a semi-automatic, Turbo-charged, Micro-Plant! Their state-of-the-art, custom-made system is a unique combination of old-world craftsmanship coupled with world-class automation. The one-bag roasters are a perfect size. Small enough not to have to be water quench (the unacceptable practice of using water to quicken the cooling process after roasting) and large enough to crank out some serious volume.
Roasters
Our roasters feature computer controlled 5-stage “direct fire” coffee roast profiling. This means recipes are saved for each coffee and the computer assists the Roast-master in nailing the exact roast every time! The trick is not how much coffee you can roast, but rather what to do with it when it comes out of two roasters, 250lb. every 12 minutes!
Destoners
Our craft roaster uses de-stoners to remove the stones, rare earth magnets collect any ferrous material and dust collectors clean the green coffees. We do this right!
