NEW TO ROASTING?
HERE’S HOW WE CAN HELP:

  • When you join the collective, the entire roastery is at your disposal. Schedule time slots online and manage them as required; or set to recurring if you’re roasting a predictable volume every week. Access to roasting machines, packaging equipment (bring friends to assist), green coffee storage, quality control tools, and cupping equipment are all included in your membership. No commitments, no fixed contracts, no risk.

  • Our mission is to eliminate the barriers to entry into coffee roasting and give you all the support needed to roast your own coffee. Not everyone who gets into roasting knows how to do it from day one, but our team will have you up and roasting in no time.

    All new members will receive training from one of our roasting coaches and access to our library of stock roast profiles. Until you’re comfortable roasting by yourself, we will work as a team to guide you through the process.

    • how to select and source the most suitable green coffee for your business needs

    • how to build relationships with green bean suppliers through our import partners and regular guided cupping events

    • how to develop the best roast profiles for your needs and master the art of roasting

    • how to use brewing and QC equipment to taste, assess and adjust your sourcing and roasting

    • how to use cupping, espresso, brewing, roasting and packing equipment with ease
