The future of commercial coffee roasting.
The Bellwether commercial coffee roaster is the most consistent, controllable, and sustainable roaster in the world.
Powered by electricity, producing zero emissions, and compactly designed, the Bellwether re-imagines commercial coffee roasting for a sustainable world. Forget installing vents, afterburners, and special permits. Getting started is as simple as plugging it in.
The Bellwether is also the most thermally stable and precise commercial roaster in existence, thanks to its revolutionary air purifying system. Without the inconsistencies of traditional roasters, there’s nothing holding you back from launching a roasting program you’re proud of.
