First Coffee Fest. First Award. A Proud Moment for AMR!

Our North American distributor, Rick Davis, took Air-Motion Roasters to Coffee Fest Dallas–Fort Worth for his first appearance as an exhibitor at a Coffee Fest event and came home with Best Product (Non-Consumable)!

Rick’s reaction said it all: "receiving the award was a sweet feeling, made even more special by being surrounded by established names in coffee roasting".

For our team here in South Africa, that recognition means a great deal. Behind every AMR is the thinking, engineering, and hands-on work of people who care deeply about roasting. Seeing that work recognised internationally is something we’re proud to celebrate.

The booth welcomed a steady stream of visitors, with questions about air roasting, discussions about our technology, and promising conversations that Rick is now following up on.

Beyond the award, those connections matter. Each conversation was an opportunity to understand a roaster’s needs, share our approach, and explore where AMR could fit into their business.

Thank you to Rick for representing AMR with such enthusiasm, to the Coffee Fest judges for the recognition, and to everyone who stopped by the booth.

Missed the show? Come and talk roasting:

You can see Air-Motion Roasters and a selection of ancillary roasting equipment at Rick’s Roastery Showroom in Spicewood, just outside Austin, Texas. Get in touch to arrange a visit and discuss your roasting plans.

From South Africa to the Coffee Fest show floor, this was a milestone worth celebrating and an encouraging start to AMR’s next chapter in North America.
