"A 5,000-square-foot co-roasting factory and retail space, the Canadian Roasting Society operates a collaborative structure that allows multiple roasters to share facilities—something the founders say makes a large, multi-roaster retail project possible without waste, since unsold stock is sent out to cafés and subscribers. The space, built and maintained by Kenneth MacIntosh of For Good Measures, sits alongside the Lachine Canal and currently offers food and coffee to-go with plans to add a large summer terrasse in the front parking lot." - JP Karwacki
"Housed in a warehouse on St-Patrick Street in the Sud-Ouest, this community co-roasting space is set up like a “WeWork, but for coffee roasting”: members pay a couple hundred dollars a month for access to roasting equipment and services. I found the facility very well-stocked, with two Probat roasters, a reverse osmosis water filter, cupping and brewing labs, and storage for green coffee, allowing café owners to come in once a week or every two weeks to roast without the six-figure startup costs (Kyres estimates over $100,000 to go it alone). The project—created by Andy Kyres of Tunnel Espresso and Scott Rao (formerly of Café Myriade)—also plans public events such as palate-training programs and eventually a coffee shop and food on site, though no timeline is set." - Tim Forster
