Whats so special about Mill Bay Coffees roaster?
Mill Bay Coffee roasts your coffee in a Sivetz roaster which is a fluid bed roaster. “Fluid bed” refers to the constant movement of beans and hot air. The beans never rest on any surface. The beans are levitated by the hot air, which totally engulfs the bean. The air is what roasts the coffee. The beans never contact a surface that is hotter than the air that is roasting the beans. This ensures that the beans are individually and uniformly roasted. The other advantage of a fluid bed roaster is that it cleans the beans of debris while roasting. In a traditional barrel roaster, burning chaff from the beans smolders on the surface of the barrel and coats the beans with tars and residues which have collected on the surface of the barrel. This does not occur in the Sivetz roaster used by Mill Bay Coffee!
