of a 200,000 square foot building near the Boeing Company's Everett plant. Corporate

operating efficiencies. BLACK DOT COFFEE CONTRACT roasts and packages coffee

Roasting
Prior to roasting, green coffee, which has been received in burlap bags or super
sacks, is cleaned and then loaded to green coffee storage bins. From there it is
blended and conveyed to the roasters. Coffee is then batch roasted to the exacting
specifications of our customers using Probat or Jabez Burn roasters. Upon
completion of the roasting process, the whole roasted beans are discharged from
the roaster and cooled. After cooling, the whole beans are sent through a de-stoner
to remove heavy density material and then on to whole roast storage bins where the
coffee is given time to equilibrate.
Our Jabez Burns Roasters have the capacity to roast 1,800,000 pounds monthly,
which, in addition to the 900,000 pound monthly capacity on the Probat Roaster
yields a total roasting capacity of over 30,000,000 pounds annually.
Summary:
* 4 - Jabez-Burns Thermalo style roasters. 1,800,000 pounds per month available.
* 1 – Probat R1500R. 900,000 pounds per month available.
