Our Roasting Equipment
Our facility has two roasters, giving you flexibility from small pilot batches to full production runs. We currently produce 500kg+ of coffee per week at our Ashmore roastery.
Ailio 1kg Bullet roaster
Our pilot roaster is an industry-leading Ailio Bullet — perfect for developing and dialling in your roast profile.
It features automatic drum pre-heating, adjustable heat and fan speed, and real-time feedback from infrared bean and drum temperature sensors for precise, consistent roasting.
Every roast is saved as a detailed profile that can be replayed and shared — so when we scale up to the Phantom, your recipe stays locked in.
CRA 45kg Phantom roaster
Our production roaster is a locally-made Coffee Roasters Australia (CRA) 45kg Phantom — built and supported right here in Australia.
With a capacity of 180kg of green beans per hour, it’s backed by a full production setup: vacuum bean extraction, afterburner, Coffee Sweet Automation with touchscreen PC integration, and a semi-automated bagging system.
This is where your pilot roast becomes a real product.
How It Works
From first chat to product in hand — here’s what the process looks like.
1. Chat & TASTING
We sit down, learn what you’re after, run through some of our blends. No commitment — just a conversation about what you want your coffee to taste like.
2. Profile Development
Our head roaster Erin dials in your profile on the Ailio Bullet. We roast small sample batches, tweak, taste, and refine until you’re happy.
3. Scale Up
Once the profile is locked in, we scale the recipe to our CRA 45kg Phantom for production runs. Same profile, bigger batches.
4. Pack & Ship
Roasted, degassed, bagged, and labelled — ready for your shelves, your café, or your online store.
Trusted by Local Brands
We already roast for several well-known Gold Coast brands alongside our own East Coast Roast range. Our contract partners trust us with their product because we treat every batch like it’s our own.
Whether you’re a café adding retail bags, a startup launching a new brand, or an established business looking for a local roasting partner — we’ve got the equipment, the experience, and the team to make it happen.
Common Questions
What’s the minimum batch size?
Our pilot roaster handles batches from under 1kg, so there’s no huge minimum to get started. Production runs on the Phantom are up to 45kg per batch.
Do I need to supply my own green beans?
We can help you source green beans through our existing supply relationships, or you’re welcome to bring your own. We’ll work with whatever suits your business.
Can you help with packaging and labelling?
Yes — we can advise on pack design and handle bagging and labelling through our semi-automated system. We can work with your existing packaging or help you source it.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on batch size, frequency, and what’s involved (sourcing, packaging, etc). Get in touch and we’ll give you a clear quote after an initial chat.
How long from first chat to finished product?
For a straightforward project, you could have product in hand within a few weeks. Profile development takes as long as it takes to get right — we won’t rush it.
Can I be there during the roast?
Absolutely. You’re welcome at the roastery anytime. Some partners like to be hands-on, others leave it to us — whatever works for you.
