Roast your own beans at ECRE

There are few greater freedoms in the coffee business than roasting your own. That fact, coupled with the recent surge in the price of green coffee, has made it more popular than ever to pursue the avenue of co-roasting. 

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! To receive more information on pricing, enquire now →

Whether you’re a seasoned roaster or just getting started—in which case, we suggest you check out our Let’s Roast Together page—ECRE is here to help. As for how we check all the boxes when it comes to co-roasting, look no further than below:

Industrial Roasters

When you join our collective, the entire roastery is at your disposal: we have four industrial drum roasting machines and a sample roaster on-site, with differing capabilities and roast capacities that ensure we can cater to roasters big and small. More info below [ADD SCROLL-TO LINK]

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

Predictable Volume & Hour-based Pricing

Schedule time slots online and manage them as required, or set them to recur if you roast a similar amount every week. However you like it, you’re only billed for the time spent roasting (rounded to the nearest 15 minutes). 

Access to Industry Experts

The team at ECRE are some of the best in the business. From optimising the roasting process to 1-on-1 consultations on how to bend the curves on Cropster to your will, our coffee team will have you succeeding at roasting in no time. Meet The Team → 

In-Built Servicing

The drum roasters at ECRE are always kept in tip-top shape with preventative maintenance and regular inspections happening around the clock. Your membership further allows for full-time access to our specialised technicians, who can resolve any odd hiccup you may face during the roasting process. 

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. For pricing, just ask → 

Access to roasting machines, packaging equipment, green coffee storage, quality control tools and cupping equipment is all included in your membership. If our pricing and facilities prove too tempting for anyone considering going it alone, then we’ve done our job—it’s better for their business, and for reducing carbon emissions too.

Not everyone who wants to get into batch roasting knows how to do it from day one. Thanks to our tailored approach of one-on-one lessons & consulting options with the team, ECRE can have you trained up in no time. Just ask →

“I’m a one-person operation, but it’s like I have a team behind me: if I order green beans I don’t need to be on-site to receive them; if I need backup beans, there are always some handy.
