OUR STORY

Who we are

ROEST is a Norwegian start-up established in 2014. Our team is dedicated to developing and manufacturing innovative products for the coffee industry, increasing quality in the cup and efficiency in the workflow.

ROEST’s current portfolio includes two AI-powered hybrid coffee roaster models designed for quality control. ROEST Sample Roaster has received several industry awards and even helped coffee enthusiasts to succeed in the World Coffee Championships. In 2023 we will launch a new production roaster for small to medium-sized roasteries. 

Since 2018 we have sold over 1000 roasters to more than 80 countries worldwide. What started as a master's thesis became a fast-growing, open-minded company with an international team dedicated to improving coffee.

Our plan

Our vision is to improve coffee quality through innovation and technology. To achieve this, we are constantly looking at new ways to incorporate existing and new technologies.  

We are currently developing a new production hybrid roaster for small to medium-sized roasteries. This is, however, just the beginning, as we have some exciting new ideas in the pipeline.

Our story

Our story started in 2013 when our founders demonstrated the results of a master thesis to Tim Wendelboe and Morten Wennersgaard from Nordic Approach, two significant figures in the coffee scene in Norway. Tim and Morten challenged us to create a better sample roaster for the coffee industry. 

We took on the challenge of making the world's best sample roaster. Our subjective conclusion is that we succeeded but are still dedicated to improving the design and functionality.
