Let’s roast as a team.

It’s the sweet spot for many roasters! From fledgling roasters who want a little extra assistance to veteran curvebenders who prefer to leave the week-in-week-out production to others, ECRE offers flexible solutions that allow us to roast as a team. 

Whereas few wholesalers in Australia can afford to drop specialty Arabica prices below the $35–$40 per kilo range in the current market, you can roast a minimum 5kg worth of coffee starting from just $23 per kilo at ECRE. That goes a long way to putting more profit back into your pocket in the long run—approximately up to 25% saved on your cost-of-goods!

Along with giving a big welcome to new roasters, ECRE’s ability to provide business coach-style consultations on all areas of the specialty coffee industry is second to none. Our experts can provide foundational knowledge on everything from green coffee sourcing and conducting sensory evaluations to hands-on roasting and best QC practices in just a matter of weeks with one-on-one lessons—it’s all part of the initial roaster onboarding process.

Cupping Equipment & Quality Control

Quality control is easy at our roastery, where we have all the equipment required to test your roasts and ensure they’re at an optimal standard. That includes industry standard grinders, readers, ACME cupping bowls, spoons, and temperature-variable kettles and urns. Full list below

Green Bean Supply

If it’s green coffee on demand that you’re after, ECRE has your back. We have a steady supply of great value blends and single origins that can mitigate any potential headaches that come with trying to fill the gaps in your inventory solo. Just one of the many great benefits of an ECRE membership!

Packaging Options

If you want us to take care of your packaging, we can do that too. Our facility is fully equipped with weighing machines, digital scales, heat sealers, temporary coffee storage, label-compatible laser printers, date stamps, tape, and more that allow you to box up and dispatch with ease.

Simple Per-Roast Pricing with Scalable Support

Schedule time slots online and manage them as required, or set them to recur if you roast a similar amount every week, starting from just $33 per roast (minimum 5kg) on our smallest drum roaster. However you like it, you’re only billed for the time spent roasting (rounded to the nearest 15 minutes).
