ROASTING

Ignite Coffee use only premium grade Arabica green beans sourced from plantations in Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, PNG, Sumatra, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Kenya and India. We offer ethically sourced beans including 100% certified Organic Fair Trade coffee.

ROASTER

Ignite Coffee has a 35Kg Loring Kestrel Roaster. It heats predominantly via convection and helps us to produce a well developed and consistent product time after time.

We were the first specialty roaster in NZ to install and use a Loring, which is the most sustainable roaster currently on the market using up to 80% less gas than a conventional roaster and therefore has 80% less emissions. Yes we wish to help the sustainability cause and this is a good start.

The Loring has a patented Flavour-Lock Roast Process™ technology. Benefits include:

• Very low oxygen roast atmosphere protects natural flavours

• Smokeless, odourless exhaust during roasting

• High-speed cooling tray and air cool system

• Profile Roasting: unlimited number of profiles can be captured during roasting or manually created; precise tracking of profile curve

Destoner

We use a Loring D35 Destoner to ensure the removal of all stones, metal and other foreign objects. Like the Loring roaster, the destoner is built entirely of stainless steel and is purpose built in the Loring factory to work seemlessly with the roaster.

Contract Roasting

Ignite Coffee offers the option of contract roasting where we can offer coffee bagged in either plain (with or without labels) or the customers own bags. We offer flexible distribution terms where the product can be sent to either a bulk location for distribution or directly to the customer’s sites.
