About Fresh Roast Systems Fresh Roast Systems began operations in October 1998, situating its first beta-test machine at Draeger’s Marketplace in San Mateo, California. Five additional beta-units were placed in test at Larry’s Markets in Seattle, beginning in December 1998. The technology was an outstanding success, immediately helping to increase sales and augment profits dramatically.
