The CRC’s production facility is a co-roastery that can be booked by members as either a ‘pay-as-needed’ option or through guaranteed time slots for regulars. We love supporting larger coffee shops, but we won’t give up on our commitment to help the home roaster, small-requirement user or new roaster either. Our equipment choices reflect this.
At the heart of everything we do is the equipment. Countless hours of research went into each choice we made — the result is, we believe, the most well thought out co-roastery around, with the highest quality brands in the business.
Sample Roaster
ROEST reduces the workload from sample roasting. Save time and money while achieving the highest quality results and consistency, batch after batch.
ROEST is equipped with up to four temperature sensors and a range of adjustable parameters to fit your roasting style. Adjust the airflow, drum speed, power, development settings and more. Switch to manual mode at any point during roasting simply by turning the knob.
Sample & profile roaster
Built for high-stakes decisions. When buying green coffee or validating production roast quality, you need complete data, transparent cup quality, and absolute consistency. With the new ROEST Ultra, you can trust every decision you make.
.5 kg / 1 lb capacity
The smallest of our “production” roasters, the SF1 is perfectly suited for profiling and roasting high-end micro-lot boutique coffees. More importantly, this is our main training roaster. This is the roaster that has trained 100+ new roasters at the CRC. Believed by many to be one of the best-made drum sample/profile roasters on the market, it has also become the go-to machine for our home roasters. Full Cropster integration ensures consistent roasts.
3 kg / 6 lb capacity
The SF6 is one of the most booked roasters at the CRC. With roasts from 2.2 pounds to 6 pounds of green coffee per batch, it serves as an important midway point between the SF1 and the SF25.
The SF6 is the perfect machine for smaller cafes, new roasting companies selling their product at places like farmers markets, and for the home roaster with a growing list of friends and family that demand their coffee. Plus, it is an excellent training roaster as you expand your business and learn to roast.
12 kg / 25 lb capacity
The first production roaster we ever bought at the CRC. What can we say about the SF25 that seasoned roasters don’t already know? It truly is a legendary commercial-grade, artisan drum coffee roaster and a real workhorse. They are built of 100% schedule 40 steel and contain no cast iron, making them extremely durable. Schedule 40 steel is more conductive than stainless steel, making it more responsive to heat controls during the roasting process. With roasts between 6 pounds and 25 pounds of green coffee per batch, and a maximum roast capacity of 100 pounds per hour, this is the perfect machine for any larger coffee program.
3 kg / 6 lb capacity
The most advanced roaster in our arsenal. Using convection heating ensures clean, even development. 18+ sensors maintain precision across every roast. The result: competition-ready coffee you can repeat reliably, every time. Consistency and precision that support your craft from day one.
Manual control when you need it. Automation when you want it. Switch to manual and take full advantage of the live bean camera and real-time sensor data. Adjust power, airflow, drum speed, inlet temperature — tweak every detail until the profile is right and then let the automation run it consistently. Your craft, supported with precision.
How about throughput? The P3000 completes a 6 lb roast and reset in about 8 minutes, giving you the opportunity to roast 42 pounds in an hour with impeccable between-batch protocols.
15 kg / 30 lb capacity
Unlike traditional drum roasters that heat beans through direct flame contact, the Loring routes hot air through the drum with a single-burner recirculating system, giving roasters precise control over airflow and temperature without the risk of scorching. Touchscreen automation, vacuum elevator loading, auto hopper, and auto roast chamber door are all standard. Plus, up to 80% fuel savings and reduction of greenhouse gases in every roast compared to conventional roasters.
The S15 Falcon is the go-to roaster for quickly growing cafes and coffee companies. It offers a roasting capacity from 6 lb (3 kg) to 30 lb (15 kg) batch sizes, giving a very cost-effective rental that produces a lot of coffee.
35 kg / 75 lb capacity
The Loring S35 Kestrel reinvented how coffee roasting was done and everything you have heard about it is true. It has a single burner that roasts beans and incinerates smoke at the same time, plus a high-speed cooling tray which reduces cooling time while protecting beans. The S35 Kestrel offers half-bag roasting, with roast batches between 16 pounds and 75 pounds, all while having up to 80% fuel savings and reduction of greenhouse gases in every roast compared to conventional roasters.
The S35 is the roaster booked by coffee companies that already have a smaller roaster but need to get through a lot of green coffee. If you ever find the need to roast two full bags of green coffee in an hour — the CRC has you covered.
Post production of roasted coffee can quickly become a bottleneck. Filling your bags, weighing the correct amount, ensuring a long-lasting, proper seal, and doing so consistently and quickly can be a challenge — especially if doing it all by hand. The CRC built two custom weigh/fill/seal stations to help speed up post production and get you on your way.
Matching the USA-made, high-quality choices we made with our roasters, we have the Logical Machines weigh and fill system, AAE auto-loader, and the top-of-the-line QuantumPack sealer.
Get through a hundred retail bags an hour with ease, or bust out your wholesale 5-pound bags without constant scooping.
