Heya yup for sure, I think that's the challenge for us as we don't have a physical store for people to visit it's really important to get the name out there in front of people. I think when people know we exist they tend to want to buy with us

Good to see an insight! Subscribed! Hope the gala went well

AHH yes me too if I'm honest! We're somewhat limited on the sustainability side as we use LPG to power the roaster currently and while there's tech out there it's currently beyond our budget. The chaff we simply compost (great for that!) but I've also wondered about making firelighters out of it as a by-product.

Hey guys, great video! so very useful and great to see the behind the scenes life of a small independent coffee roasting business. I'm on a similar journey myself, and have a couple of questions from the video if you wouldn't mind? - The storage boxes for bagged coffee - What a great idea, what are these called or who made by please? - Weighing Scales - what scales are you using there please? - Those floor pad things that you keep the green coffee on, what do you call these please / where do you get them from - such a great idea as with the blue tub storage for green! - Label printing, where do you get these printed? Thanks, look forward to seeing more on your journey!

Heya great questions! -Storage boxes are from a company called Solent Plastics and we opted for those (rather than the blue ones) for roasted coffee because they are smaller and stackable which is better as the beans dont stay in there very long. -Scales are Brecknell Electronic Scales which seem to be very common in the industry from what I can see. They're good because they take a lot of weight which you need when weighing the beans after roasting (e.g. could be up to 5kg worth in our case). -Floor pads are known as 'dunnage' which is a typical environmental health recommendation for keeping food storage pest free and lowering risk of exposure to spills etc. we did actually have a spill once (knocked a mop bucket over) and I was super glad we had these! -Label printing, we currently use a company called Labels Interantional. We originally were printing our own labels but this takes so much time and overhead for lower quality output versus using a company! Thanks for the comment and questions!

@@ForgeValleyRoasters that's true, anyway I like your packaging looks exclusive

Thank you! We worked really hard on the packaging and did it ourselves rather than a graphic designer (though we will revisit this when we have the cashflow!)

Great video!! 💗Looking to relocate for Selby from London😊 been to Scarborough to do a chocolate course at Andrew Thwaites school its a lovely town! We are looking to open a small shop in York and would really love some help with the roasting. How can I get in touch with you? 🙏

Good video! What licences or permits are required to start a roasting company in the UK? (if any)

Hi.. I'm hariki from Indonesia, I interested with cormorant coffee roaster how's your review?

Heya 👋 yes it's great and perfect for sample roasting or smaller personal use. I have the electric model which uses heat lamps instead of a gas flame. This makes it easier to use in some ways as you just plug it in and away you go. However it's slightly different to gas roasting in that temp changes aren't so instantaneous. All in all a great piece of kit and I would buy it again if I needed to.

Thank you! Going to try and get another video out this week and aim for once a week. I'd do more but honestly takes so long to edit and put them together it's tough making the time for it all!
