Son of a Bean Cracker
A few years ago Thad Fisco — a full-throttle coffee geek, innovator and owner of Portland Kettle Works – rapid-fired too many cappuccinos and began rethinking how coffee beverages were produced. the best coffee extraction systems have been nothing more than knocked-off or repurposed tea-making equipment. There was obviously an opportunity for huge improvement. Following years of meticulous prototyping and design refinement, the completely innovative CoffeaXT coffee extractor was born.
Today, Coffea Hardware has a product line that reaches new standards of coffee extraction perfection. Versatile and flexible, the CoffeaXT, coupled with the CoffeaGX grinder, CoffeaNX nitrogenator and our cold brew keg washer CoffeaKW, are providing coffee beverage producers an unparalleled opportunity to rethink and retool their business models for what is coming.
