"Roast awards top honors in two categories: Micro Roaster of the Year, for companies roasting fewer than 100,000 pounds of coffee each year; and Macro Roaster of the Year, for companies roasting more than 100,000 pounds annually. The award recognizes companies that roast coffees of superior quality, exemplify a dedication to sustainability, promote employee and community education, and demonstrate a strong commitment to diversity, inclusion and equity, among other criteria."
"Founded in 2018 by Matthew and Seidy Selivanow, Kafiex is a Clark County Green Business known for sustainability innovations (including a zero-waste specialty instant line), a Diedrich roaster outfitted for reduced emissions, bilingual education programs, competition coaching, and an expanding training facility. Their emphasis on bilingual community education, direct relationships with producers, and low-waste product design highlights a commitment to equity, quality, and accessibility."
