FAQ

How do you sell these machines at these prices?

You buy straight from the people who build it. No dealer. No one in the middle who needs a cut. Nothing is stripped out to hit the price. The chaff collector, the logging software, and your training are all in it, plus a two-year parts and labor warranty. There's no catch. The warranty is the proof.

Manufacturer direct

Turkish steel. Florida heart.

Every Ambex starts as a steel body from Türkiye, home of the world's best roaster metalwork. Everything that makes it alive goes in by hand at our Clearwater shop, and the internals all come from US companies. The motors. The gas train. The wiring and controls. Then we roast coffee on it. Every machine, every time, before it ships.
