Roasting Services
Co-Roasting
As a co-roaster, you have total control of your product. You pay an hourly rate to roast your own coffee on one of our roasting machines. Production equipment, space, and time included. Rates start at $30/hour and increase with the batch capacity of the roaster you use.
Private Labeling
Also called white labeling or co-packing. You use the roasted coffee we have in house for your project. You have final say over blending, bagging and labelling. Rates are typically charged per finished bag of coffee. (If you're new to coffee roasting, this can be a great place to start!)
Toll Roasting
As a toll roaster, you pay a per-pound rate to have us roast your coffee for you to your specifications. You still get to source your own coffee and packaging and make the decisions about your end roasted product.
