Precision Roasting Tailored to Your Vision

With toll-roasting, you bring the green coffee, and we bring the precision. Our expert roasters follow your exact specifications, including origin, grade, drop time, temperature, and roast color number. This collaborative approach ensures we hit your target flavor profile with every roast. Every batch begins with:

  1. Sample roasting and cupping. Our Roast Master will take your green coffee and roasting recipe and create a sample roast.
  2. Flavor profile evaluation. Our sensory panel will brew the coffee and document its extraction levels, cup quality, and flavor. We specialize in toll-roasting with traditional drum roasters with independent temperature and air controls. This setup in our certified roasting facility allows us to tailor the roast profile to your desired curve.
  3. Iterative feedback and refinement. We will send your toll-roasted coffee to you as packed samples, and you can send us your feedback. We’ll use your feedback to refine your coffee until its flavor and quality are exceptional.

A True Partnership Built on Collaboration

At Joe’s Garage Coffee, we treat your brand like our own. Our team works side by side with you to:

  • Develop and refine your ideal roast.
  • Offer guidance on roast development and sensory evaluation.
  • Align our process with your brand’s goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Toll-Roasting

Do you have questions about partnering with us for your coffee toll-roasting needs? Here are clear and direct answers to our clients’ most common inquiries.

What Are Your Minimum Batch Sizes for Toll-Roasting?

Our minimum batch sizes for toll-roasting your green coffee beans are low. This way, you have the flexibility to confidently launch a new brand or enter a new market without excessive commitment. You can easily test new products or manage unique specialty runs. While we support smaller quantities, our advanced facility is also fully equipped to efficiently handle high-volume production for national brands, consistently delivering the world-class quality you would require at this scale.

How Do You Develop and Maintain Specific Roast Profiles for My Coffee?

We develop and maintain your specific roast profiles for your coffee through our thorough, multistep process of sample roasting, sensory evaluation, and iterative refinement. First, our expert coffee roasters craft initial sample roasts using traditional drum roasters with independent controls, precisely tailoring the roast to your desired curve. Then, we send you packed samples for your feedback. This step allows us to refine your profile until its flavor and quality are truly exceptional and consistently meet your expectations.

Do You Follow the SCA's Cupping Protocols When Evaluating My Coffee?

Yes, we follow the Specialty Coffee Association’s (SCA) cupping protocols when evaluating your coffee, upholding the highest standards for quality assurance. Our expert sensory panel meticulously brews and samples your coffee according to these SCA guidelines, allowing for an objective evaluation of its aroma, flavor, acidity, and body. This approach helps guarantee a premium, consistently high-quality product for your brand.

Can You Help with the Packaging of My Roasted Coffee Beans?

Yes, we can help with the packaging of your coffee roasted through our toll-roasting service. Some of our clients opt to manage their own packaging, but we offer a comprehensive and streamlined co-packing solution from initial design to final fulfillment. This service makes it easy to get your expertly roasted coffee directly to your customers. We offer a diverse range of packaging formats, including traditional coffee bags, convenient pods for Nespresso®, and cups for Keurig®.

What Are the Typical Lead Times for Your Toll-Roasting and Packaging Services?

Our toll-roasting and packaging services have a typical lead time of around three to six weeks. Several factors influence this. These include packaging complexity, your order volume, and whether it’s an initial profile development or a repeat order. For instance, reorders typically ship within three weeks. However, developing your unique roast profile can extend this timeline. We always communicate your expected lead time directly to help you plan your production schedule effectively as a private label.
