The Art of Fluid Bed Roasting
Cleaner Heat. Brighter Flavor. Better Coffee.
At Cloudland Coffee, every bean is roasted using a fluid bed roaster — a method that uses clean, hot air instead of a metal drum. The result? Coffee that’s brighter, smoother, and truer to its natural flavor.
What Makes Fluid Bed Roasting Different
Unlike traditional drum roasters that tumble beans against hot metal surfaces, a fluid bed roaster suspends the beans on a stream of heated air.
This technique creates a perfectly even roast without scorching or burning — just pure, clean heat that brings out the best in every bean.
Why It Matters for Flavor
When heat is evenly distributed, every bean develops consistently. You taste:
-
Cleaner flavor — no smoky or ashy aftertaste.
-
Brighter notes — fruit, chocolate, floral, or nutty tones come through clearly.
-
Smoother body — balanced sweetness and gentle acidity in every sip.
That clarity is what makes our coffee stand out — every origin we roast tells its own story.
Cleaner Coffee, Cleaner Planet
Fluid bed roasters naturally remove chaff (the thin skin that flakes off during roasting), preventing it from burning and tainting the flavor.
The process also produces less smoke, uses less energy, and creates fewer emissions — making it a cleaner and more sustainable way to roast.
Good for your cup, and good for the planet.
Precision You Can Taste
Because each bean is roasted evenly, our batches are remarkably consistent. Whether you order a bag today or six months from now, you’ll experience the same balance, aroma, and sweetness that define Cloudland Coffee.
We carefully tune each roast profile to highlight the bean’s natural characteristics — from the chocolate richness of Latin American coffees to the citrus brightness of African origins.
