"I generally do not write reviews unless something goes wrong or something special develops as a result of an interaction with a company or one of the company representatives . I inquired on line at Mill City Roasters on Friday, January, 24, 2026 regarding a part for a roaster. I received a follow up call on Sunday, January 25, 2026. Tragically, this the weekend that Alex Pretti was killed. I do not recall this young man's name but could tell he was struggling with the violence and Alex Pretti's death. He simply offered, "Keep having a voice". To the people and businesses of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota my families prayers and 'voice' of support to each of you during this time. Mill City Roasters what a great representative you have for your company. I couldn't offer a better review. God speed."

"I was blown away honestly from my time spent here. Our instructors for the Roasting class, Lauren & Bryant, have such a wealth of knowledge, experience and are super passionate about what they do. Even Steve & Angie personally took time out of their days, to have in depth conversations, Q&A's, and spend quality time with the class. You can see very quickly this is a well run company, that takes care of their employees and cares for those who come to their facility. I am so glad I jumped on a plane to come out and attend this class, as I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Mill City and their team. Hope our paths cross again in the future."

"Mill City Roasters have really been a shift in our perception of coffee roasters. They are not just a fabricator/manufacturer for roasters, they are an all-in-one community that is here to help you take your coffee company to the next level. We spoke with the owner, Steve, many months ago at Coffee Fest. From that point on, we were drawn to his company because of the apparent years of experience and tenacious effort that compounded into Mill City that exists today. They are not just a roaster company, but they are pioneering the coffee industry, where roasting knowledge and competently thought out engineering meets in the culmination of their production units. Everything has been tested and refined and perfected to reach the pinnacle of their team's capability to help you as a roaster reach the best roast profiles you can achieve. From our conversation, Steve suggested we take the Roasting 101 class Mill City offers to get hands-on time and experience with his machinery. This class, ran by Lauren and Bryant, was beyond well thought out. The amount of process, expertise, and service they provide is worth 100x the small amount of money they request from you to enroll. This class will directly make you a better roaster regardless of what skill level you enter at, and it will certainly benefit your company with infinite return by making you not only a better roaster, but a better processor and business owner. My hat is off to this team because I now know how much they care for our well-being, success, and journey. Mill City is filled with world-class talent and a team unlike any in the industry. If you are thinking about looking at a roaster or even curious, do yourself a favor and let them assist you. Because of our full circle, hands-on experience, we will be buying a new MCR-6 6kg Roaster, and we look forward to the lifetime of business we will give to Mill City as we expand. I am very pleased to be one of their customers. With utmost sincerity, THANK YOU from PURE EARTH COFFEE Team."

"My husband and I own a Mill City 3K roaster and have been attempting to learn the ropes over the past year. In December, we attended the Roasting 101 class and feel FAR more confident in our roasting ability. Bryant and Lauren were exceptional teachers. They were extremely knowledgeable and professional, and they took time to answer our questions which we were hoping for in the class. On top of the in class teaching, they gave us resources to take home. Our experience was hands-on and in-depth. We recommend this class to anyone who is interested in pursuing roasting. As well as those who own a roaster already because you will likely learn a ton!!"

"I have had a Mill City Roasters 2K for three years. It has been an absolute joy to use. I am a home roaster and it supplies me and my friends and family with great coffee. I have probably roasted 400 lbs of coffee and have grown to really appreciate this machine. I started on a toaster-oven type of roaster and upgraded to this 2K. What is cool about the Mill City machine is that a novice can get started and make good coffee…but as you get better, the machine has the flexibility to grow with you. It has a variable speed drum, variable speed fan, and enough power to really blast through a roast if that is what you want to do. The build quality is amazing! Finally, the few times I have called for support, the folks at MC have gotten me going without any drama. Well done Mill City Roasters!"
