Bellwether Coffee

Bellwether Coffee is a Berkeley, California coffee-technology company founded in 2013 by Ricardo Lopez that designs and manufactures an all-electric, ventless, automatic commercial coffee roaster. The Bellwether Shop Roaster (SCA Best New Product 2024) roasts 1.5 kg per batch on a standard 240V/30A circuit with no gas line, exhaust, or construction, and is paired with a complete coffee business program: a traceable Green Coffee Marketplace with ready-made roast profiles, cloud-connected roast automation and inventory software, custom retail packaging and labels, and ongoing service. Bellwether has raised roughly $92.7M across eight rounds and serves 500+ customers across 26 countries. It publishes no public developer API, but does maintain a genuine machine-readable web surface: an RFC 9727 /.well-known/api-catalog linkset, a structured facts.json, an llms.txt, and Content Signals AI-usage declarations in robots.txt.

Bellwether Coffee is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Coffee, Coffee Roasting, Food and Beverage, and Hardware.

Bellwether Coffee’s developer surface includes pricing, support, engineering blog, FAQ, and 17 more developer resources.
