Bring Out the Best in Your Beans
Your beans are the key to your success. They’re the reason you’re in this
business in the first place. You already do everything you can to preserve
their inherent flavor and to showcase the hard work of the farmers who
grew them. It’s not just your livelihood — it’s your art. That’s what keeps
your customers coming back for more. And that’s why you need the very
best roasting equipment.
Probat Burns helps you take care of your beans and your business. We’ve
been doing it since 1864. Our hands-on, artisanal roasters allow you to
convey your passion through every bean. And our experts are here to
assist you in achieving your desired results in every batch. Roast assured.
A Tradition of Dedication
In the mid-19th century, Probat Burns helped transform coffee roasting
from a tiresome chore into an artful, controllable business operation. Today
we continue to invest in research, development and new technologies to
advance the industry. Through our business relationships and outreach, we
strive to protect the natural resources that are essential to your beans and
to support the origin countries where they grow.
Ancestors of Innovation
Probat Burns was founded on the ingenuity of two men. In Germany in
1868, Theodor von Gimborn designed a coffee roaster later described as
“probat,” the German word for “tried and tested.” And in New York in
1864, Jabez Burns designed his own roaster and grew a strong knowledge
base for the coffee industry.
