There are few greater freedoms in the coffee business than roasting your own. When you join our 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 similar amount every week. However you like it, you’re only billed for time spent roasting (rounded to the nearest 15 minutes). Access to roasting machines, packaging equipment, green coffee storage, quality control tools and cupping equipment are 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—not only is it better for their pocket, it also helps reduce carbon emissions.
Not everyone who wants to get into batch roasting knows how to do it from day one. With industry recognised courses covering beginners through to experts, ECRE can have you trained up in no time. Just ask →
