Frequently asked questions
How should I choose a coffee roaster for my home or business?
Start by deciding what matters most: roast style, bean origin transparency, and minimum order sizes. Read recent reviews, request sample roasts when possible, and ask about roast date and shipping or pickup options to ensure freshness and consistency.
What does it typically cost to buy from a local roaster?
Prices vary widely depending on beans, roast level, packaging, and order volume. Ask roasters for quotes that include per-pound pricing, minimum order requirements, and any setup fees for wholesale or private-label work.
What should I check before hiring a roaster for my café or shop?
Confirm turnaround times, minimums, quality-control practices, and whether the roaster can match your desired flavor profile and consistency. Request sample batches, discuss logistics for deliveries, and clarify terms for returns or remakes if a batch is off.
