    Roastery Story: Alamode Foods and Prestogeorge Coffee & Tea

    At CoffeeTec, we enjoy working with a wide range of buyers and sellers, whether you’re a startup coffee retail business, a mid-size roastery chain, or a roasting giant like Costco and Disney’s official roaster, Joffrey’s. All of our clients share a common passion for coffee roasting, whether they’ve been in the business for two years or two decades. Speaking of the latter, we’ve worked with several roastery/retail clients for whom coffee roasting is a family affair. For this Roastery Story, we were honored to connect two second-generation coffee-roasting clients — spanning from the Midwest’s “Windy City” to “Steel City” on the Northeast U.S.’s western frontier — to help them keep on roasting.

  • Roastery Story: Night Shift Brewing

    Roastery Story: Night Shift Brewing

    Night Shift Brewing had a potential private buyer for its Probat P12/2 — and they needed to sell it before their lease was up in 18 days. When we told them we could sell the Probat for more money — PLUS take care of all logistics, crating, and freighting — they gave us the listing. We listed the Probat P12/2 and sold it within a week. The sale transacted four days later through our private financing program. Our seller went on doing what they do best — and with more money in their pocket than they would have gotten by handling the sale themselves. And, we can do the same for you.

  • Roastery Story: Rubicon Coffee Roasters, Bridgeport Coffee, and Blooming Hearts Coffee

    Roastery Story: Rubicon Coffee Roasters, Bridgeport Coffee, and Blooming Hearts Coffee

    This month, we’re sharing a doozy of a story that involves three roasteries run by three very different people, in different parts of the country, and in different stages of their coffee roasting journey. You might read this story and think that based on how smoothly (and quickly!) the events unfolded, everything was just meant to be. However, this is really a story about how we’re constantly working behind the scenes to source the best used equipment within CoffeeTec’s coffee roasting community—just for you.

    Roastery Story: What's The Buzz Specialty Coffee

    When What’s The Buzz Specialty Coffee knew it was outgrowing its two older roasters, it turned to CoffeeTec to sell and replace them with a new 30-kilo Primo roaster. The result? CoffeeTec sold both used roasters within 3 weeks and had the new Primo roaster installed and commissioned — all completely handled in under 100 days.
