processes applied to prepare your favorite coffee beans. Almost all traditional coffee roasters use LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) as an energy source for roasting. When LPG burns, it leaves behind a chemical residue. If not contained properly, it alters the taste, quality and natural goodness of coffee, which can also have negative effects one’s health.

At Snob's Coffee our SOLAR roaster heats the beans using "Infrared Radiation" heaters in a revolving perforated drum. The drum then transfers secondary heat to the beans via Conduction. At specific stages during the roasting process, air is pulsed through the beans to create a ‘fluidised bed’ which enhances the heat

transfer via ‘Thermo Syphon’ and ‘Convection’. The SOLAR roaster combines traditional "Drum roasting" and "Fluidised-Bed Roasting" processes in order to achieve consistent uniformity, resulting in full aroma and flavour. Snob's Coffee presents a vast range of Gourmet Coffees from some of the major coffee producing regions of the world, including Central America, South America, Africa and South East Asia.

As our name suggests, coffee to us is more than just a drink, it’s an experience. How coffee is consumed is part of its continuing appeal and mystique. Our coffee offers a unique taste experience, combined with the natural health benefits of freshly solar roasted coffee using an environmentally friendly process.
