ROASTING TO NEW LEVELS

The taste and aroma of freshly roasted beans are what takes sensorial coffee experiences to the next level. Roastelier makes these flavours easier than ever to achieve.

To celebrate this revolutionary coffee roaster, we held the week-long Roastelier by Nescafé event, hosting a special guest from Taiwan – Jake Hu, Head Judge of World Coffee Championships.

“Roastelier is an industry game-changer for in-house roasting. All coffee produced using Roastelier is tasty, and this is a super difficult thing to achieve.”

Jake Hu, on his partnership with Roastelier

Among the many activities held throughout the week, a highlight was the food pairing event. Guests had the opportunity to pair various origins and roasting profiles with three savoury dishes. To top it off, dessert was served with a specially crafted blend prepared by Jake Hu himself.

Fully automatic, Roastelier comes equipped with a range of preset roasting profiles for different single origins, curated by our master roasters. It handles the complicated process of roasting, leaving business operators more time to focus on customer needs and curate unique sensory experiences with coffee pairings and coffee menu creation. In short, it’s the perfect in-house roasting solution.

LEVEL UP YOUR DESSERT GAME!

Who doesn’t love a good dessert? From the comforting embrace of a classic favourite to the excitement of discovering new and daring creations, desserts not only excite the palate – they also evoke joy and create memorable experiences.

To help you keep your menu fresh, here are some of the most exciting trends in the dessert space!

TIRAMISU

Coffee. Cocoa. Mascarpone. The flavour combination of tiramisu is both luxurious yet familiar, making it a great canvas to experiment with contemporary flavours and – of course – some boozy infusions.

LEMON MERINGUE PIE

This exquisite dessert is no stranger to change. We’ve seen the combo of lemon and meringue across many traditional desserts, from cheesecakes to milkshakes. By experimenting with its trademark lemon flavour, chefs are introducing a whole new dimension to this old-school favourite.

MOCHI

These glutinous rice balls have seen a global surge thanks to the increasing popularity of Japanese culture. What started as a sweet, frozen treat is now evolving into fried, toasted and brûléed desserts. In some cases, chefs are using mochi as toppings and stuffings too!
