They see themselves as explorers, embarking on a relentless pursuit of the best award-winning coffee beans, top-notch roasters, and experimental micro-lots. Their endless journey brings forth the most precious and authentic coffee experiences tailored to coffee enthusiasts everywhere.
A Unique Business Concept and Vision
Baristatus stands out from the crowd with its non-profit business model, focused on making the best coffees available to their fellow coffee lovers. They curate their offerings in three special categories: Exotic, Experimental, and Excellence. As the first and only Alliance of Coffee Excellence (ACE) and Cup of Excellence member, Baristatus is dedicated to supplying exceptional coffee collections globally.

Exceptional coffee experience tailored to each customer
Every ROEST roaster has its own unique name based on a place in Norway.
Baristatus Co's commitment to quality and personalized service led them to choose the ROEST sample roaster as an essential tool in their coffee roasting operations. With the ROEST, they achieve the precision and control required to maintain their high-potential coffee beans' utmost quality and consistency. This aligns perfectly with their vision of delivering an exceptional coffee experience tailored to their customer's preferences.
Fueling Growth and Success
The ROEST sample roaster has been instrumental in driving the growth and success of Baristatus. Previously, they relied on bigger commercial-sized roasters, limiting their ability to offer the freshest coffee within optimal timeframes. “Since we are dealing with nano-lots, commercial-size roasters -even 1kg capacity ones- are too big for us to roast our special coffees,“ explains Hasim.
Thanks to the ROEST, they can now make small test batches, iterate on their recipes, and maintain complete control over the roasting process. This has empowered them to expand their offerings and delight coffee enthusiasts with exceptional coffees.
“High-potential beans require higher control, repeatability, and consistency. ROEST is giving it all to us! We can repeat our recipes every time without any hesitation; several back-to-back roasts and the same consistency.”
Elevating Expertise and Collaboration
The ROEST sample roaster creates a new sense of collaboration within the coffee community. Through the ROEST forum and library, Baristatus exchanges recipes, develops innovative techniques, and shares feedback with other Alliance for Coffee Excellence members.
The continuous updates and features of the ROEST have further enriched their roasting experience and deepened their knowledge: “Being IOT based high-tech device, every morning ROEST can surprise you with a new value-added feature! When I first purchased it, it was up to 120 grams, and now I can roast with the same roaster up to 200 grams! Or Between Batch Protocol is a completely new and quite useful tool that we got for free from any of these usual updates.“
Empowering Micro-Roasting Businesses
The ROEST sample roaster is a game-changer for those starting a micro-roasting business. Its compact size and exceptional precision make it an ideal choice for handling small batch sizes, varietals, and experimental processes. With the ROEST, micro-roasters can confidently roast the best beans and deliver extraordinary coffee experiences like Baristatus.
“Our Baristatus nano-roastery allows us to process the best beans; this would never happen with commercial-size roasting machines. With full confidence, we are now able to handle different varietals, processes, and batch sizes up to 200 grams!”
