A Bay Area coffee supplier and equipment company is unveiling a smaller model of its electric roaster that works for retail shops.
Why it matters: Coffee roasting is a growing frontier in the wider “electrify everything” movement for buildings, appliances, cars and more.
State of play: Bellwether Coffee said its new Shop Roaster is the first compact, all-electric, ventless coffee roaster for storefront-style, retail settings (see image above).
- The ventless, closed-loop part is important because prevents air pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.
- And this enables in-store, electric roasting without needing local permits, they say. “No gas lines, vents, construction, or training are required to set it up,” the announcement states.
- The system is manufactured in Berkeley, California, and the company sees domestic and global markets for it.
