Why Co-Roasting®?

Our industry stands out for its sense of sharing and community. Why not go further and share equipment too? I want to create new opportunities to make roasting accessible to more people.

“We are glad to be part of the Co-Roasting® community and to offer a space where people can discover and practise the roasting craft. Specialty coffee is growing in France, and the collaborative roasting offered by Co-Roasting® is ideal for taking your first steps.”
JJo · ArbusteHost roastery
“Joining Co-Roasting® means being part of a community: the community of good coffee that makes people happy! Beyond paying off your equipment faster, it is also a chance to pass on your knowledge and meet inspiring people.”
AAdrien · NemrodHost roastery
“Co-Roasting® allowed me to launch my coffee brand far more easily than if I had waited to find my own premises and the funding for all the roasting equipment. I easily got in touch with a partner to make my project happen. That is the Co-Roasting® mission: making specialty coffee accessible and connecting established businesses with roasters who want to get started.”
AAdrian · Ajour CaféUser member
“I am delighted to be part of Co-Roasting®, which promotes mutual support and knowledge sharing. Kind advice and feedback from more experienced professionals is invaluable. It gave me the boost I needed to get started, and I hope to return the favour to other professionals in turn.”

“Joining the young Co-Roasting® community was an obvious choice! Education is one of the three pillars of our group, Simonelli Group (alongside Innovation and Sustainability). We believe in the importance of knowledge sharing and collaboration in the coffee industry, and Co-Roasting® embodies these values perfectly. Roasting expertise combined with our extraction expertise means that together we can offer an exceptional coffee experience.”
NPNicolas Poirot-Crouvezier · Nuova Distribution FranceEquipment partner
“Joining Co-Roasting® is both a human and an expert approach. Water makes up 92 to 98% of a coffee, so it is a central concern for coffee experts. We have long been close to several community members and receive more and more requests for training and knowledge about water and filtration. Joining the community felt natural, to multiply these exchanges and keep learning and progressing together in the search for the optimal water for coffee!”
