When Sonofresco walked through our doors and showed us the roaster, Carla and I were skeptical. Roasting is done by Master Roasters! Carefully roasting for perfect coffee! The Sonofresco roaster seemed too good to be true. Carla and I went to see the prototype machine, and in about 5 minutes we knew we needed our own. Every day we are so happy with our roaster. Our customers love our coffee. We are in control of how the coffee tastes. Never stale! We don’t have to wonder how long the beans sat in someone’s warehouse. We thank Sonofresco.

Good luck with the show [Coffee Fest – Seattle 2010], we will be there in spirit as one of your loyal customers. We bought one of the first units in mid 2001 and have roasted almost 17,000 pounds (10-20# a day now) for a lot of great people. We roast when they call and deliver anywhere! (in the city we live in). Customer service is the key, something you do well! Thank you all at Sonofresco.” Ken Graves Pheasant Hawk Coffee Roasters – Casper, Wyoming

We roast 3-4 times/week and the machine has more than paid for itself within three months. You can’t say that about many pieces of equipment. It is a pleasure to use, and once you get the hang of cleaning and maintenance, these steps become second nature and simply part of each roast. In good weather we set it up in front of the store and the aroma of roasting coffee always draws passersby. Most people have never seen green beans or seen a roaster in action, so it’s a great opportunity to chat and inform. More often than not, the visitor will walk away with a bag of coffee.” Ken Winchester Niagara Grocery – Victoria, BC.

As the oldest chandlery in the Pacific Northwest, you’d expect Marine Supply & Hardware of Anacortes, Washington to have a wide array of merchandise, but freshly roasted coffee? When Sonofresco’s first Coffee Roasters came out in 1999 (then called “Syd & Jerry’s”) the chandlery provided parts for the prototype machine and added freshly roasted coffee beans to their inventory. Boaters and fishermen love to get their coffee roasted while they wander the store aisles and locals call in to place their orders too. Owner Steve Demopoulos remarked, “Folks on vacation tried our coffee and now have us ship it to their home back east.”

I want to pass on to you a compliment. Our serviceman (who maintains and repairs our Verissimo Espresso Machine) has maintained ever since we started buying our beans from you that in his 20 years of installing and repairing espresso machines, he has never seen crema as nice as what our beans produce. Our customers are so pleased with our espresso and I tell them all about your company and how you had a world renowned coffee expert come in to come up the various blends that we use. Thank you for doing what you do so well! – Karen Holbrrok – Kendallville, IN
