š„ Eco-Friendly Roasting: Small Batch, Lower Impact
Not all roasting is created equal. Our artisan roasting process is designed to be as efficient and clean as possible.
Here's how we reduce our footprint:
- Small batch roasting = less waste and more control over energy use
- Precision roasting software optimizes roast curves to reduce energy spikes
- Maintenance and recovery systems that improve airflow and heat consistency, saving fuel
We continuously evaluate new roasting technologiesālike recirculating heat systems and electric roastersāfor their potential to lower emissions.
