“I'm really interested in learning how to roast, which as a barista feels like both the next step and a goal that's slightly out of reach. I'm excited Bellwether's roaster helps bridge this gap!”

“What we love about the Bellwether roaster is that we have complete control of our roast profiles. We experiment in ways traditional roasters just don't accommodate, and do so with greater accuracy and efficiency. Customers love our coffees off the BW roaster and so does our team.”
