Soon we traded our .25 kg Hottop Roaster for a 1 kg North Coffee Roaster, which we imported ourselves from the manufacturer in China. Did you know importing equipment is difficult and takes forever? We didn’t.
After three years of blending frappes, pouring through swan-neck kettles, and steaming creamy milk, we needed to expand. We purchased a building in our neighborhood – formerly Paul’s Christian Bookstore and Woolworth’s before that – and remodeled it. We upgraded our roaster, again, to a 10 kg Proaster, and grew a little bit more.
Now, our friends are seeing their own growth. Our former wholesale client, The Ground-a-Bout of Jackson, MO, took over our wholesale and roasting operations in 2018. Since then, we have continued to work with Bestoque Coffee to fill your cups with the clean smooth beans we all grow and serve.
