You will be part of what we aim to be an incredible journey to make smart and efficient solutions for the coffee industry – together with our customers.

Since 2018 we have sold over 2000 roasters to more than 70 countries around the world. What started as a master's thesis has turned into a fast-growing, open-minded company with an international team dedicated to improving coffee.
