In 2007, Michael and David made the decision to move their business to Pueblo, Colorado. There they opened their first retail coffee shop, aptly named Solar Roast Coffee. Pueblo was their final choice because of its small to medium size, it's affordability, its excellent solar exposure, and the fact that it has its own university!

They initially set up their Helios 3 roaster in a plastic dome behind a cabinet factory on Aspen Circle outside of town. Once the shop was established, Michael remained in Pueblo while David went back to Oregon to create a new large-scale solar roaster, the "Helios 4".
