BREWING POSSIBILITIES

EXPLORING THE WORLD OF COFFEE ROASTING AS A SIDE BUSINESS

COFFEE ROASTING

Growing in popularity in recent years, the coffee roasting business is attracting coffee lovers seeking out high-quality, artisanal coffee from local roasters. This has led to a rise in the number of coffee roasting businesses, providing opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to start their own coffee roasting business – sometimes from the comfort of their own home!

With 65% of Americans drinking coffee daily, you would think that every coffee- related business opportunity would already have been exploited. Fortunately, for those coffee lovers who dream of getting into the coffee business, perhaps the greatest opportunity in coffee has just been made available. Especially, if you consider using an electric coffee roaster versus a drum roasting machine.

THE OPPORTUNITY FOUND IN MICRO ROASTING

Micro-roasting presents a unique business opportunity because the pool of potential customers is so big and the quality of coffee most people drink is so bad! The difference between fresh roasted coffee and stale coffee is the same difference between fresh baked bread out of your oven compared to the bread you find on the supermarket shelf. Even coffee sold as whole beans you see on display in supermarkets are mostly stale. There are many definitions for micro-roasting. Some say it is roasting batches of 30 lbs. or less. We define micro-roasting as roasting 100 lbs. a day or less. Whatever your definition, the advantage is getting coffee in the hands of customers immediately after roasting. With so many coffee drinkers out there, you would think neighborhood roasters would be everywhere. There is a particularly good reason why they are not, and it is because of the lack of affordable, easy- to-operate equipment and general knowledge about coffee roasting.

THE GROWTH POTENTIAL IS HUGE

Over the last five years, the coffee industry has grown consistently. According to market research, the global coffee market size was valued at USD 102.15 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% from 2021 to 2028. One of the main drivers of this growth is the increasing demand for specialty coffee. This includes a rise in the popularity of artisanal and craft coffee, as well as an increase in the number of specialty coffee shops and cafes. Consumers are becoming more discerning and are willing to pay more for high-quality, unique, and ethically sourced coffee beans. The increasing demand for convenience and the rise of online retailing have also contributed to the growth of the coffee industry. Many coffee brands and retailers now offer online sales, home delivery, and subscription services, making it easier for consumers to purchase coffee. In addition, the global coffee market is projected to grow further in the coming years, driven by the increasing popularity of coffee and the growth of the food and beverages industry.

MAKE A FULL-TIME SALARY DOING PART-TIME WORK

The amount a micro coffee roaster can make can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, including the size of the operation, number of hours you put into the business each week/month, and the ability to generate and retain customers. A micro coffee roaster may generate revenue from a few different sources, such as: Wholesale: Selling bags of coffee to other businesses such as cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores. Retail: Selling bags of coffee directly to consumers through online channels, farmers markets, and other events. Subscriptions: Offering monthly or bi-monthly coffee subscriptions to customers. It is difficult to estimate an exact amount a micro coffee roaster can make, as it can vary greatly depending on the above-mentioned factors, but we’ve seen members of our Coffee Crafter community start micro- roasting as a side business and make anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000 or more per year.
