What aillio does

Aillio Technology Co., Ltd. is a privately held Taiwanese coffee equipment company founded in 2012 by brothers Jonas Lillie (CEO) and Jacob Lillie (CTO), headquartered in Taipei with a distributed team across Denmark, Thailand, and the United States and additional offices in Copenhagen, Bangkok, and San Salvador. The company designs and sells electric induction-heating coffee roasters built around its proprietary IBTS (Infrared Bean Temperature Sensor) and FlowSense airflow technologies, marketed under the Bullet line for home and micro-roastery users (R1 at $3,599, R2 at $4,099, R2 Pro at $5,299) and the AiO industrial specialty roaster for busy cafes and commercial buyers (from $15,900). Aillio monetizes primarily through one-time hardware sales with ancillary extended warranties and accessories, sold both direct via aillio.com and through a network of 50+ regional distributors covering more than 100 countries.

The company's go-to-market is product-led and community-driven, anchored by the Roast.World cloud platform (35,939 active users) and the RoasTime 4 desktop software ecosystem, which together log roast profiles, surface recipes, and enable cross-device synchronization. Customer segments span home roasting enthusiasts, micro-roasteries, specialty cafes, sample roasters, and industrial buyers. Certifications including CB, CE, PSE, KC, RCM, cTÜV, and INMETRO have been obtained for the R2 and R2 Pro, enabling commercial distribution across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Oceania. Strategic design partnership with Danish studio Kilo Design and an international manufacturing coordination model allow Aillio to compete in the specialty coffee equipment segment without disclosing external institutional funding.
