Georgian Research and Innovation department teams up with coffee roaster Beaver Rock

Since 2013, Dan Saso has been striving to make his coffee company, Beaver Rock, more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Beaver Rock, located in Barrie, is a craft coffee roaster that sells whole beans and K-cups.

In his mission to become more efficient, Saso reached out to Georgian College, one of the top 50 research colleges in Canada in 2021, to help manufacture and design a new machine for their K-cup production operation.
