CoffeeTec is a coffee roastery development company and an equipment marketplace. Roasteries come to us to buy machines, to sell the machines they have outgrown, and to get help with financing, consulting and training along the way.
We list new roasters and used coffee roasters side by side, plus grinders, packaging lines, afterburners and the rest of the plant equipment a roastery runs on. If a machine is not on the site, we can track it down for you.
Five Decades in Coffee Equipment
Jay Endres started CoffeeTec in 1972. He had spent years developing coffee machinery before that, and he built the company around one idea: a roastery should be able to find the right machine without guessing.
Fifty years later we still work the same way. Our team attends the industry trade shows, holds memberships in the main coffee associations, and keeps direct relationships with roaster manufacturers across the United States, Europe and Asia. Those relationships are how we know which machines hold up in daily production, which parts stay available, and what a particular model is really like to live with.
If a term on a listing is new to you, our coffee equipment glossary explains it in plain language.
Built for Both Sides of the Transaction
CoffeeTec is a marketplace, so every machine on the site came from someone on the other side of it. That shapes how we work with both groups. Here is how the two paths run, and where they meet.
How Buyers Use CoffeeTec
You can browse by batch size, by roaster type, or by brand, and compare what is available across manufacturers rather than inside one catalog. When you are ready to go further, our consulting team helps with installation planning, workflow and the questions that come up after the machine lands.
How Sellers Use CoffeeTec
Owners list their equipment with us when they upgrade, consolidate or close a line. Through the CT Connect program we handle the research, the advertising and the logistics, so a roaster owner does not have to run the sale on top of running the roastery.
A Track Record You Can See
More than 100 clients have worked with us, from single-shop roasters to names like Costco Wholesale, Caffé D'Arte, Black Rock Coffee Bar and Evans Brothers Coffee.
The numbers behind that are not rounded marketing figures. Between November 2024 and November 2026 we listed 265 pieces of equipment, 231 of them roasters, from more than 55 brands, and closed 144 buyer deals. The machines were built anywhere from 1942 to 2026.
Those projects are not abstractions. You can read through our project case studies to see the equipment involved and how each roastery put it to work.
Keeping Good Equipment in Use
Keeping a good roaster working is the whole point of a resale market. A commercial roaster is built to last decades, so when a roastery outgrows one, the machine itself usually has plenty of production left in it.
Matching that machine with its next owner keeps it roasting instead of sitting idle or going to scrap. It also lets a smaller roastery start on equipment that would otherwise sit out of reach. That is the quiet part of what a marketplace does, and it is one of the reasons we built the business this way.

FAQs
Is CoffeeTec a manufacturer or a reseller?
+Neither, exactly. We do not build machines. We run the marketplace where roasteries buy and sell them, and we work directly with the manufacturers whose equipment we list. That means we can compare brands honestly, because we are not defending one factory's lineup.
Does CoffeeTec sell new equipment as well as used?
+Yes. We list both, and plenty of buyers compare a new machine against a used one before they decide. Used stock makes up most of what moves through the site, but if a new build is the better fit for your production, we will tell you that.
Does CoffeeTec work with roasteries outside the United States?
+Yes. We work with buyers and sellers internationally, and our manufacturer relationships run across the United States, Europe and Asia. Tell us where the machine needs to go and we will walk through what the move involves.
Does CoffeeTec help with financing?
+Financing is one of the areas we connect roasteries with, alongside equipment, consulting and education. Ask us when you have a machine in mind and we will point you to the right option for it.
What support do I get after the machine arrives?
+It depends on the machine, so read the listing. New equipment comes with its manufacturer warranty, and some refurbished machines carry a warranty from the shop that rebuilt them. For setup, we can put you in touch with our installer, including when you collect the machine yourself. Training runs through the vendor, either in person or over a video call.
How do I ask a question about a specific machine?
+Call or email us with the listing in front of you. Our team has handled this equipment for decades, so the faster you tell us what you are looking at and what you are roasting now, the more useful our answer will be.
