Roasters
One of the biggest barriers to entering the coffee roasting profession is the cost of equipment.
The primary tool, the coffee roaster, generally costs tens of thousands of euros and is not used to its full potential when first starting a roasting business.
At Celsius, we started by leveraging the investment of another roaster (Placid Roasters), which allowed us to:
- Reduce our carbon footprint by avoiding the purchase of a new machine too early in our development.
- Start in premises that fit our limited initial budget.
- Spend only in proportion to our roasted coffee volume.
- Begin roasting while benefiting from an expert's advice on their machine.
After 2.5 years of shared roasting, it was time for us to invest in our own equipment at a brand-new location in the heart of Lyon. We chose a 15kg-capacity Italian IMF roaster, one of the most advanced brands suited to our roasting style. You can find the detailed reasons for our choice at
this link (and in
this article in English).
It is therefore with great pleasure that we now welcome roasters from the region and beyond to benefit from this superb machine. We offer a training module to ensure the trainee feels comfortable and safe using the equipment. We also guide the trainee on roasting profiles to help them avoid errors in their first batches. Afterward, the user can roast independently by booking roasting slots in advance.
If roasting is not your area of expertise, don't panic; we can also assist you with a custom solution (e.g., white labeling). Do not hesitate to contact us by filling out the form below.
