It comes as a shock to most in the beginning of their business journey that, to start a coffee roasting company, you need not one, but TWO coffee roasters. Our recent blog entry breaks down this necessity ⤵️ bellwethercoffee.com/blog/wh… #coffee #business #coffeeshop #coffeeroasters

Gas-powered coffee roasters may not be possible in the future. 20+ cities have some type of natural gas ban (more on the way). That means no new gas lines for traditional gas-powered roasters. This will fundamentally change the industry. A thread 👇 #coffee #specialtycoffee
