Eliminate the Awful Odours Emitted by Coffee Roasting With Afterburners
Many complain about the smell produced by coffee roasting, and now you can roast without the stress or the odour…
Did you know roasting coffee produces a strong and pungent smell so intense your retail or industrial neighbours are likely to complain? In fact, so many have already complained that the Australian government is looking into what they can do to stop the smell, and complaints, from occurring. At Coffee Roasters Australia, we have your answer – afterburners!
What is an afterburner?
To be used in conjunction with coffee roasting, an afterburner is a chamber that is attached to coffee roasting equipment, and is designed to heat up to such a degree that the fumes emitted by coffee roasting are eliminated completely! The chamber sits on a stand next to the roaster, and heats up to effectively burn off the smoke and smells that roasting coffee produces. The chamber is also fed through the roof up a chimney, and expels the now odourless, colourless and basically invisible emissions into the air where it evaporates to nothing.
Did you know that the number one complaint about coffee roasting is the odour?
It is a market that is underappreciated and we know soon, with the government beginning to take notice of complaints focused on coffee roasting odours that afterburners are going to be in high demand. We know that afterburners should be a staple part of your coffee roasting equipment, and as such we are able to completely customise afterburners to fit your roasting apparatus perfectly so you don’t have to worry about the fit, size or even colour!
We are able to custom build your afterburner to your specific needs, and can accommodate any size roaster or even multiple roasters. We also use powder coats, so you can dictate the colour of your afterburner!
The benefits of an afterburner…
Other than helping you achieve an odourless and more pleasant environment to work in, an afterburner:
- Has a less-expensive outlay
- Provides good airflow

Finding the best coffee is every coffee lover’s dream, but now you can make it yourself…
Have you always wanted to know the secret to roasting perfect coffee? At Coffee Roasters Australia, we are able to give you the tools, equipment and training to help you on your way to being able to roast your very own coffee to absolute perfection.

Why roast coffee?
The raw fruit produced by the coffee plant is harvested when ripe, and is commonly referred to as the ‘green bean’. This is why we roast coffee before brewing it; the ‘green bean’ needs to undergo a chemical change before it can become a true coffee bean, and that can only be brought about by roasting.

New study finds coffee helps reduce skin cancer!
A new research effort that followed 100,000 people finds coffee drinkers are less likely to develop skin cancer
A new study conducted through Harvard University has followed 100,000 people and their coffee drinking habits. The results found that women who drank three or more coffees a day were 20% less likely to develop skin cancer! Men had a 9% decreased risk compared to those who drank less than one cup of coffee a month.
The leading hypothesis for these results is that caffeine reduces inflammation and may eliminate tumour formation. Not only this, but coffee also helps decrease the risk of dementia, diabetes, heart failure and stroke! Talk about a wonder drink!

In House Coffee Roasting
One doesn’t have to look far within the Australian coffee scene to see coffee shop roasting in house.
It certainly is a growing trend as coffee shops look for ways to remain competitive in a market that is attracting a lot of new entrants. Like most things in business the pros and cons of such a venture needs to be thoroughly considered before jumping in.
The costs of running a cafe are increasing all the time. Increasing rents, labour, COGS and utility costs have led to many cafes looking at any way possible to squeeze more margins within their current offer let alone new offers. So for a cafe whose turnover is dependent on coffee sales the most obvious area that comes up for scrutiny is roasted coffee beans. This can involve assessing such areas as wastage, pricing, coffee supply contracts and also the prospect of doing it in house.
We get approached often from cafes that have done some research or sums and are looking at the prospect of in house coffee roasting. It is a natural progression of thought for cafes in today’s market as there are so many
examples of cafes doing it. I would like to point out though that with many of these examples they do not get it right because they dived too quickly into it without the proper understanding and preparation required. It certainly is not for everyone and does not suit every business model. The romancing reflection of roasting fresh coffee daily in a busy cafe can quickly ware off when put in to practice.
The pros are very obvious if you get it right. Guaranteed freshly roasting coffee aged to your liking, flexibility around your coffee offering, in store theatre, a retail pack offering and of course the price saving advantage which in some cases can be significant. That being said, in order to achieve this you need to have all you ducks in a row. This is not as easy as it looks and many fail to realise their potential. There is more to it than just doing the sums on how much you can save on your coffee pricing. Let’s take a look at what you need to consider when following this path. Continue reading »
New study suggests coffee reduces pain
Just when we think we’ve heard all the great things about coffee!
We’ve all heard the benefits of drinking coffee, other than its great taste it can help reduce the risk of developing cancer, diabetes and depression. Among other great benefits of drinking coffee, a recent study has found that drinking coffee can help reduce chronic pain!
The Norwegian researchers from National Institute of Occupational Health studied 48 people in an office environment, and allowed 19 of them to drink one cup of coffee before work. The researchers found that the participants who did drink coffee before work reported a lower intensity of pain than those who went without!
Coffee the wonder drink
For years coffee has been under scrutiny as to whether it is good or bad for you. Research seems to suggest that in moderation, there are little to no bad side-effects of coffee for the mind or body.

Single Origin Verse Blends – A Roasters Perspective
The specialty coffee market is forever evolving and one of the buzz words at the moment is Single Origin.
A lot of roasters and coffee outlets have or are looking to introduce single origins into the coffee repertoire but are struggling as to where it fits in the scheme of things verse the tried and tested concept of blended coffee.
There may be a few different interpretations going around of what Single Origin exactly is but I like to refer to is as coffee that comes from a single known geographical origin and more specifically a single farm. You can further break it down to Single Origin Micro Lot coffees which derive from a single field on a farm. Blended coffee on the other hand is a combination of different single origin coffees mixed together. Generally this is done to produce a better beverage than if the coffees were standalone but this is not always the sole intention and blending can be undertaken for a number of other reasons.

Consistency and Coffee
One of the biggest frustrations that I hear from roasters, distributors, retailers and end consumers is “Why does my coffee taste different? I’ve roasted the same beans with the same profile or I’ve ordered the same blend yet it tastes different.”
I am sure everyone reading this will empathise with me but are we striving for the impossible. Is consistency achievable or are we fighting an unwinnable battle?
In order to answer this question firstly we need to take a close look at coffee as a commodity and then the history of how it has been marketed and sold. Green coffee beans are basically the processed seed from the coffee cherry, a type of fruit.
What we know about fruits is that they are seasonal. This is the case with coffee where you generally see one crop harvested per year. One of the best ways to harvest coffee is still by hand picking as this ensures the ripe cherries are only harvested leaving the unripe cherries on the tree to ripen. This ensures minimal wastage and maximum yield from the crop. In many countries where coffee is grown the labour is cheap so this method of harvesting is preferred over mechanical means. So what you essentially achieve from this method of harvesting is a number of picks throughout a season as the cherries ripen at different times. This results in varying levels of quality from the same crop throughout the season. Continue reading »
