Understanding Variants
Whole Bean
Original coffee beans, perfect for home grinding and maximum freshness
Pre-Ground
Ready-to-brew coffee, ground to ideal specifications
Each product variant comes with its own unique SKU identifier in the Roastify system.
Each variant has a unique SKU (Stock Keeping Unit). SKUs cannot be duplicated across variants.
