Guatemalan coffees are excellent! Yes, machines can get a little expensive. It's probably the biggest investment to make.

Really enjoyed this one! It was interesting and very informative!

That's great! Glad this was informative!

Great video guys! Any tips you can give to securing initial wholesale accounts? Did you send out samples? Any marketing strategies? Thanks.

Thanks Austen! This is a somewhat complicated question, but sending out samples is important. One of the biggest things to consider is, how do you as a roaster help cafes or your wholesale account with their problems? The approach is then helping these wholesale accounts achieve what they want with your product. As for marketing strategies, building community and networking with your ideal wholesale account is important. Whether you're connecting in Facebook groups, Instagram, or going to an event where they will be, finding ways to connect and help wholesale accounts is vital. Hope this helps!

@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters sound advice guys. Appreciate the detailed reply.

Thanks so much for this. I have a question: If I start out with a 1 pound coffee roaster in my garage, do I need to do any permitting? Or will that only happen once I get into a bigger machine?

That will depend on where you're located and what you're planning to do with the coffee. If you're out in the county, there's a little more flexibility. Roasting with a 1lb coffee roaster also makes things much easier in terms of permitting. Definitely look into your local permitting for what you're planning to do.

Can you guys talk about how you are tracking inventory. Im interested in what the accounting of the business looks like.

Do you want us to talk about the accounting in terms of finances or tracking inventory? Please give some more clarity

@@MirrorCoffeeRoasters It would be very interesting to know how you account for the inventory as a whole between sourcing, roasting and fullfilling orders.

Thank you for the clarity. This is a great conversation!

Good info here! Thanks guys for your candid advice. I'm looking into getting into home roasting for friends and family, then seeing where it takes me! Did you guys start your journey on a small roaster to learn your way around the process? Have you heard of anyone running a business on a smaller roaster? I'm up in Canada but I'd like to try your coffee 😁

Thank you! That's a great place to start. We both worked for coffee roasting companies in the past and had enough experience from that to start our own operation. Where in Canada are you?

Are you talking about a roasting business or a coffee shop? You haven't talked at all about how to get your name out there. How to advertise etc

This is more directed towards a roasting business. As far as how to get your name out there and advertise, that is a conversation that needs its own episode!

So 12 minutes into the video and you haven't even strayed talking about the topic.

had to stop listening. the coffee sipping was so annoying.
