Our state of the art, computer controlled, roasting and packaging system is made by Petroncini, an Italian manufacturer of the finest roasting equipment.

Here is a brief description of our roasting process:

· The batch hopper is filled with our award winning, hand picked 100% Arabica green coffee beans;

· The automated roasting system transfers the green beans to the roasters holding hopper until the roaster reaches the pre-assigned roasting temperature for that particular roast at which time the computer releases the green beans into the roaster;

· The roaster tumbles the green beans for a pre-assigned time for that particular roast (visually checked and verified, of course, by our trained roasting specialist):

· After the roasting process is complete, the now roasted beans are dropped into a cooling vat where a vacuum cools the beans quickly to lock in the flavor;

· The roasted beans then go through a final de-stoning process (the beans have already been washed and de-stoned prior to roasting) on their way to a holding hopper where they are stored short term while the packaging order in inputted (either whole bean or ground and package size);

· If a whole bean order – the roasted bean proceed straight to the packaging and distribution center. If a ground bean order – the roasted beans are sent automatically to the systems grinder, which grinds to a predetermined level, and then to another holding hopper awaiting packaging and distribution.
