Our customers are not Nestle's or Starbucks. They are people who are passionate about producing coffee that expresses all the flavors possible in the beans they buy. Think of what it takes to produce fine wine and you can catch the idea of who our customers are.
Roasting coffee is a dirty, dangerous, difficult business that pollutes the planet we all share. Loring's patented Flavor-Lock Roast Process™ makes roasting coffee clean and green and safer, with far better control of the entire process. Our roasters dramatically reduce fuel consumption and the resulting carbon footprint, dramatically increasing our customer's profits. But the real benefit is the fantastic taste of coffee that has been roasted in a Loring. Our customers are winning prestigious awards for great tasting coffee and winning new customers because they consistently deliver better product.
Loring is headquartered in the heart of California's beautiful wine country, but it is not necessary for you to come and live here. Loring is an equal opportunity employer looking for the best person possible to join an elite team of highly talented individuals totally committed to serving the global coffee community with products and services that help them improve every aspect of the roasting business.
