Bellwether Coffee | Bellwether Shop Roaster
The Bellwether Shop Roaster is a small-format, high-throughput electric roaster that seamlessly fits into any retail environment, allowing all businesses, even those with limited space, to roast hundreds of kilos of coffee each week.
The Bellwether Shop Roaster is ushering in the next wave of the micro-roastery movement by empowering all retailers to realize the promise and impact of electric on-site coffee roasting from farm-to-cup. Our platform enables any business to reduce costs, grow revenues, and differentiate their brand with the added benefit of selling the most delicious and lowest-carbon coffee that supports living incomes for farmers. By lowering the barrier to entry to roast on-site, Bellwether allows more retailers to deliver the freshest coffee possible under their own custom brand, creating a better future for farmers, retailers, and the planet.
Electric roasting is a powerful alternative to gas‑powered roasting, which generates 15% of the industry's carbon footprint. The Bellwether Shop Roaster cuts wholesale coffee costs in half and reduces the carbon footprint of a pound of coffee by an average of 87%, at less than the cost of an espresso machine.
The Bellwether system is simple to install and operate, enabling anyone can roast the highest quality, most sustainable coffee. Bellwether requires no gas lines, ventilation, construction, or training – simply plug in and roast to serve the most sustainable, world-class coffee on-site and on-demand.
