It all started when founder, Tim Skaling, was receiving fresh roasted coffee from his brother.  Tim's brother was a commercial roaster on the east coast and was sending his fresh roasted coffee to the west coast.  After several days, Tim would taste a difference in quality.  After some suggestions from his brother and modifying a hot air popcorn popper, he created the first Fresh Roast Coffee Roasters in 1995.

Tim's son, Sam, took over the business in the mid-2000's and has now been helping run and scale the business for the last several years. With Sam's efforts, he has been able to get the Fresh Roast name onto Amazon and continue to scale the business online. Fresh Roast has now become a household name in the green bean and coffee roasting/blending space, allowing everyone to craft their own coffee blends easily!

The Fresh Roast line was built to be an easy to use and affordable line of at home coffee roasting machines taking green beans and turning them into your own personalized blend of coffee flavors. With Home Roasting Supplies delivering a myriad of coffee roasting products and supplements, our baby is still the Fresh Roast brand of at home roasters.
