Before you invest
Buy your own machine or start
with Co-Roasting®?
Two ways to get started. The right choice depends on your project, your budget and your volumes.
| Your project | Buying alone | Starting with Co-Roasting® |
|---|---|---|
| Machine investment | €30,000 to over €60,000, excluding additional costs. | No machine to buy. Membership and use according to the roastery’s terms. |
| Premises & upkeep | Suitable premises, installation and maintenance to organise. | A fully equipped roastery at a host member’s, with no premises to set up. |
| Getting started | Training and support to organise on your own. | Onboarding with an experienced host member and exchanges with the community. |
| Organisation | Your machine, your schedule and your production site. | Flexible formats, with booked slots and travel to the host roastery. |
| Growth | Your own tool, sized to your volumes and business. | Test your project before investing. For large volumes, buying may become more suitable. |
