Customer Stories
Roastmasters everywhere can tell you the benefits that a Loring roaster brings to their business, as well as their coffee.
Tim Wendelboe
His name synonymous with flavor. Tim Wendelboe needed his next roaster to consistently hit profiles and give him both efficiency and ease of maintenance, so he could churn those roasts out. His switch to a Loring S35 Kestrel was that and a whole lot more — all on 30% less gas.
Black Coffee Roasting Co.
In pursuit of environmental sustainability, Jim Chapman and Matt McQuilkin switched to a Loring S35 Kestrel, saving 66% on gas while doubling their production capacity. “The gas bill was so incredibly small, and that was after moving up in size from a 12 kg. to a 35 kg. roaster.”
Doma Coffee Roasting Company
Doma Coffee Roasting in Post Falls, Idaho, set out not only to be a purveyor of organic, free-trade coffee, but to sustainably use as little energy as possible. The Loring roaster enables an 80% reduction in natural gas use and a 250,000 lbs reduction in CO2 production. (Posted with permission of Avista Utilities).
Tinker Coffee
Tinker decided on a Loring S35 Kestrel because of its size, efficiency, automation, and ease of maintenance. After switching to Loring, Tinker was able to maintain their output while reducing the number of hours spent roasting and cleaning their roaster. “Now we have more time for the sourcing and cupping that are so important.”
Tasty Coffee
Tasty Coffee, who specializes in espresso roasts, was looking for a way to support the growth of their business while maintaining the level of quality their customers expect. Loring was an ideal roaster for Tasty to help them roast their soft varieties of Brazil, grow their business, and maintain consistency.
Equator Coffee
Equator founders Helen Russell and Brooke McDonnell were on a values-driven path toward high-quality and ethically-sourced coffee from the start. When the business grew enough to require a higher-capacity roaster, they needed a machine that would align with their environmental goals. Loring was the solution.
Underground Coffee
When Tim Briggs of Underground Coffee was ready to increase the capacity of his operation, he needed a machine that could achieve the profiles he’d carefully developed for his Australian market. “Our coffee has become cleaner in the cup with the Loring.”
La Prima Espresso Co.
La Prima Espresso Co. is well-known for bringing Italian-style roasts to Pittsburgh. When they were ready for a new roaster, Loring not only offered them fuel savings and lower emissions, but resulted in significantly less time and money spent on routine maintenance and stack cleaning.
