The Bellwether system delivers consistent, high-quality roasting at the push of a button

Bellwether Coffee, the company making in-house coffee roasting simple and scalable for cafés and retailers, announced its expansion into Australia through a new partnership with Xtracted Espresso Solutions, a leader in coffee equipment and support for the Australian coffee industry. This launch brings the Bellwether Shop Roaster to one of the world’s most discerning coffee markets, helping cafés serve fresher, better-tasting coffee every day. With operations in more than two dozen countries across four continents, including 40 U.S. states, Bellwether is meeting growing global demand for sustainable, on-site coffee roasting.

“Australia has one of the most developed and quality-driven coffee cultures anywhere,” said Ricardo Lopez, Founder and CEO of Bellwether Coffee. “As cafés navigate rising costs, supply chain volatility, and climate pressures, they’re looking for ways to serve great coffee for an affordable cost. Our partnership with Xtracted makes Bellwether accessible to Australian businesses that are ready to take control of their roasting and offer customers an exceptional coffee experience.”

The Bellwether Shop Roaster is an all-electric roasting system that allows cafés to roast coffee on-site, without gas lines, ventilation, or costly infrastructure. Designed for cafés, hospitality groups, and roasters, the Bellwether system delivers consistent, high-quality roasting at the push of a button.

Businesses can roast 1.5kg on demand or scale production up to 20kg with Bellwether’s Continuous Roasting Upgrade, boosting output without adding labour. The system dramatically reduces carbon emissions and delivers fresher coffee for typically half the cost of wholesale, with some retailers saving thousands every month by roasting in their shops.

Xtracted Espresso Solutions, known for delivering tailored equipment solutions to Australian cafés, will support the rollout of Bellwether’s roasting platform across the country, providing local expertise, service, and support.
