When Sonofresco walked through our doors and showed us the roaster, Carla and I were skeptical. Roasting is done by Master Roasters! Carefully roasting for perfect coffee! The Sonofresco roaster seemed too good to be true. Carla and I went to see the prototype machine, and in about 5 minutes we knew we needed our own. Every day we are so happy with our roaster. Our customers love our coffee. We are in control of how the coffee tastes. Never stale! We don’t have to wonder how long the beans sat in someone’s warehouse. We thank Sonofresco.

The Sonofresco team couldn’t be more welcoming and informative. They demoed the 2-pound machine for us, showed us around the assembly area and warehouse, and patiently answered all our questions. This gave us the confidence to purchase the machine then and there, and bring it home to Victoria. Ken Winchester – Mile 0 Coffee Victoria, BC.

Campbell’s Coffee & Tea was founded in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The owners, independent of one another, were washed across Lake Pontchartrain to Covington when their houses flooded after Katrina. Campbell had researched the business of coffee shops and Elizabeth had been teaching about Latin American coffee before they met. They opened as a micro-roaster of specialty coffees in 2006 and have carved out a niche market of discerning coffee consumers. They have built the business primarily on their house blend of Latin American Arabica beans, but occasionally will roast single origin beans and new blends for special occasions.

Part of the mission of Campbell’s Coffee & Tea is to raise awareness of the important part the New Orleans region has in the history of coffee in this country. They were trailblazers in the New Orleans Coffee Fest. Part of what they put on display is their Sonofresco 1-lb. Roaster. Roasting beans on site is a huge draw. Both potential customers and seasoned roasters can’t help but reveal their curiosity and surprise when they watch the fairly simple roasting process. Both Campbell and Elizabeth are fanatics about the Roaster and the quality in each cup of Campbell’s coffee that micro roasting allows.

13 years ago, Blue Heron started out with a 1-lb Sonofresco Coffee Roaster. As the company has grown, so have the number of Sonofresco Roasters in the shop. The company now owns 3 Sonofresco Roasters: 2 x 2-lb roasters and a 1-lb roaster, roasting approximately 300 pounds per month. Blue Heron’s owner commented, “..adding Sonofresco Roasters to his business rather than converting to a larger roaster model made perfect sense. Sonofresco roasters are affordable, require minimal overhead and space, are easy to use and maintain, allow for small batch roasting, and produce freshly roasted coffee made to order for the customer. – Blue Heron Coffee Company – Bow, Washington

Purchased the second made Sonofresco Coffee Roaster over 13 years ago. Since then he has roasted over 2,300 pounds on his original machine and is glad he made the original investment. Stuart enthusiastically commented, “Our Sonofresco Coffee Roaster makes wonderful fresh coffee for my customers. I use the coffee in our restaurant and also sell retail coffee in our grocery store. I have built a wonderful following of customers who love our coffee. People always comment on the quality of our coffee, particularly in the restaurant.” Rexville Grocery continues to purchase green beans through Sonofresco to develop his own unique coffee blends. – Stuart Welch Rexville Grocery – Rexville, Washington
