The numbers
The roaster that
pays for itself.
Roasting your own coffee costs up to 50% less per pound than buying it wholesale. For most shops that is $1,000 to $5,000 back every month, so the roaster pays for itself in as little as six months. Sell just 25 lb a week and you break even.
This is what you’re currently spending on roasted coffee.
This is where you can estimate a retail opportunity.
Bellwether costs include green coffee, shipping, and shrinkage; electricity ($0.02/lb at $0.14/kWh US avg); and labor + maintenance ($0.35/lb). Retail bag costs include $1.50 per bag for packaging & labeling, plus green coffee.

Proof
Roasters you know have put it next to their Probats.
“We put our Bellwether roast up against our production roast from our Probat machines. About 20-25 of our team were tasting and no one could pick the production roast from the Bellwether roast. Most of them ended up picking the Bellwether roast as their favorite.”
“You can roast from morning until evening nonstop, increasing capacity while reducing the need for constant labor.”
“We can teach someone in 20 minutes how to use the machine and roast. It really is that simple.”
