Optimized Roasting with Stronghold
Optimized Roasting with Stronghold
Stronghold didn’t just switch gas for electricity. They brought out the best result in each roast by revolutionizing the machine’s design by introducing a tower structure instead of the traditional drum style. This transformation offers a complete control over conduction, convection, and radiant heat.
From the popular S7 model, favored by many specialty coffee roasters, to the S9X, capable of handling up to 8kg for wholesale operations, Stronghold machines satisfy diverse needs. The newly launched S2 model is perfect for small batches, accommodating as little as 80g.
This course will cover content applicable to all Stronghold models, from S2 to S9X, providing valuable insights for roasters at every level.
