The Grand Hyatt Seoul Hotel, which consumes approx. 8 tons of coffee beans per year and had been importing dark roasted coffee, purchased two Stronghold smart roasters and began roasting themselves. Many customers have noticed and started talking about the richer flavors of their coffee and the Grand Hyatt Seoul is now considered a huge success story in the luxury hotel chain industry in terms of increased customer satisfaction and huge cost savings.
Daewang Coffee, located in Daegu, was able to capitalize on S7’s excellent durability by producing more than 1 ton of roasted beans a month with just one S7 Pro roaster. The consistency of roast replication features and the reliability of consecutive roasting were key to Daewang’s success, building their name for high quality coffee and improving operational efficiency.
Mad 4 Coffee was able to successfully build a unique café brand by offering a ‘self-roasting’ concept, where customers can choose their own beans, roast on the spot, save the profile, and replicate for repeat purchases.
Roaster Kook-won Jung at Kook Coffee Roasters created a roast profile that he desired using the S7 Pro’s manual roasting mode. He then used the S7 Pro to replicate the exact roast to win the 2014 Golden Coffee Awards Roasting Competition.
