(One Day Coffee)We were drawn to Stronghold because of the versatility it offers. The ability to use halogen in combination with traditional roasting methods allows us to tailor roasts for our coffees and maximize their potential.

(Onyx Coffee Lab)We could roast what was an extremely soluble coffee, but maintaining delicate acidity and florals specifically. Roasting on Stronghold, I could get sweeter coffee that was just as soluble as a more developed roast on a drum roaster, but still had that really high acidity and it was really great.

(Rose Coffee Roasters)I love roasting on my Stronghold S7X. It's the only machine I trust to consistently roast to the style and standard I want. It allows me to make the best expression of the work of the producers growing and processing the coffee.

(Create)S7Pro is just amazing! It is such an easy to use roaster with a super friendly touch screen interface. All the coffees that I had roasted so far using the S7Pro are giving such a clean finish, highlighting also coffee's characteristics to the max. The consistent color and the expansion of the beans during and after the roasting are unique too. The roaster gives you the chance to have consistent beans with no black spots even when you roast the beans very quickly.

(Building Coffee)Although it can feel a bit intimidating at first, learning to roast on the S7Pro was quick. Automating profiles is super easy, and I love that it records every roast for future reference or automation. The interface is really intuitive, and it's easy to try new things. I wouldn't trade this roaster for any other.
Our showroom is the only one of its kind in Europe where you can roast on all three Stronghold models: S7Pro, S8X, and S9X. It’s a unique space for hands-on testing, training, and discovering what these advanced roasters can do in real-world conditions.
