Good reasons why a destoner machine is an indispensable tool for a roastery.
During the post harvesting process, our green coffee is laid out on sunny terraces to dry. While this process is 100% natural, unwanted objects such as small stones or nails might end up with the coffee beans.

- Drying station from Horacio – Our “Leal” Coffee
Once the coffee beans have reached the ideal moisture degree of 11%-13%, the beans are bagged at the cooperative, including those potential “blind passengers”. This is why we at HorizonteCoffee in Leysin use a destoner after roasting.
What is a destoner?
- Our destoner by Joper-Portugal
A destoner follows the principle of a vacuum cleaner. Since roasted beans are very light, they are easily sucked in, leaving behind everything else that could ruin expensive grinders. The process for 13kg of coffee takes about 5 minutes.
- Yield of unwanted objects in coffee
For us at HorizonteCoffee, destoning is a fundamental part of the entire roasting and packaging process. We are 100% committed to offer 100% coffee.
