Filling in the gaps of specialty coffee in Albany, Oregon, is Margin Coffee Roasters, which is celebrating the grand opening of its new roastery cafe this month.
Six United States craft beverage equipment manufacturing companies merged through a $100 million deal last month to form a new company called Lotus Beverage Alliance.
Because the singular act of making coffee requires a series of mini jobs, myriad specialized tools exist to help roasters, baristas and home brewers alike.
