Playing with Photo-Fluorescent Beans & Optical Sorting

Tim Wendleboe and Maxime Boegler talk about who might want a color sorter and for what reason, and why it's important to Tim as someone who sells high-quality coffees.

On this podcast, we had the honor of interviewing Tim Wendelboe, founder of the roastery and espresso bar, Tim Wendelboe, in Oslo, Norway. We talked to Tim about his roast profile and why his roastery only uses one for all of his coffees. We also talk to Tim about his refined cleaning routines, how the color sorter has improved his coffee quality, and how to deal with bottlenecks in the production line. This is our second interview with Tim Wendelboe. Our first interview was about roastery efficiency.

Michael Williams, Sovda COO, talks about Sovda's new custom engineering initiative and how Sovda is making way for custom projects.
