Your guide to Coffee Roasters for Green Beans

  • Small Batch Roasting: Perfect for Beginners and Experimenters

    If you're new to coffee roasting or love experimenting with different beans and roast profiles, a small-capacity roaster is a fantastic starting point. Machines like the Kaffelogic Nano 7 offer capacities ranging from 40g to 120g per batch, which is ideal for:

    • Testing new beans: Small batches allow you to try different origins and processing methods without committing to large quantities.
    • Perfecting your roast: The Kaffelogic provides precision controls and programmable roast profiles, helping you develop your skills as a roaster.
    • Minimal commitment: For beginners, smaller roasters offer a more accessible price point and are less intimidating to use.

    The Kaffelogic is user-friendly, compact, and designed to provide consistent results, making it an excellent choice for those just starting or focusing on fine-tuning their craft.

  • Larger Capacity Roasting: For Aspiring Professionals and Small-Scale Production

    If you’re ready to take your roasting more seriously—whether for friends, family, or small-scale sales—the Aillio Bullet is a game-changer. With a capacity of up to 1kg, this roaster offers the flexibility to handle larger batches without sacrificing precision. It’s perfect for:

    • Producing more coffee: A 1kg capacity lets you roast enough for personal use or small-scale sales while maintaining consistency across batches.
    • Professional-grade control: The Aillio Bullet provides advanced features like temperature adjustment, real-time roast feedback, and data logging, giving you complete control over your roast profiles.
    • Efficient workflow: Larger batches save time if you're roasting regularly or fulfilling small orders.

    The Aillio Bullet is built for those who are passionate about coffee roasting and want a reliable, versatile machine that grows with them.

  • How to Choose the Right Capacity Roaster

    Determining the right capacity for your needs comes down to how much coffee you plan to roast and how often:

    • For home use or weekly roasting: A machine with a capacity of 40g-250g per batch is ideal. It lets you roast fresh coffee every week while experimenting with different flavors.
    • For small businesses or frequent roasting: A 500g-1kg roaster works best if you want to produce larger volumes for others or reduce roasting frequency.

    Smaller roasts allow for more experimentation, which is great for perfecting flavors. Larger roasts, on the other hand, are better for saving time and preparing coffee in bulk.

Your questions, answered

What size coffee roaster do I need?

The size of the coffee roaster you need depends on how much coffee you plan to roast and how often:

  • For personal use or experimentation: A smaller roaster, like the Kaffelogic Nano 7 (40g-120g capacity), is ideal. It’s perfect for testing different beans, creating unique roast profiles, and keeping your coffee fresh by roasting in smaller batches.

  • For small businesses or larger production needs: The Aillio Bullet R1 (up to 1kg capacity) is a better fit. It allows for efficient roasting at scale while still offering flexibility for smaller experimental batches.

A general rule: calculate your weekly coffee consumption, divide by 4, and choose a roaster with a similar batch capacity. Smaller batches allow for more frequent roasts and better freshness, while larger capacities save time if you need to roast in bulk.

What’s the difference between a drum and air roaster?

The main difference lies in how they heat and move the coffee beans:

Drum Roasters:

  • Coffee beans are heated through conduction (contact with the hot drum) and convection (hot air circulation).
  • Beans rotate inside the drum, creating even heat distribution.
  • Suited for larger batches and more traditional roasting styles.
  • Example: Aillio Bullet, which offers excellent control over temperature, time, and airflow.

Air Roasters:

  • Beans are suspended and roasted using hot air, ensuring consistent and even roasting.
  • Typically smaller in size, more portable, and produce less smoke.
  • Example: Kaffelogic Nano 7, perfect for smaller batches and experimentation.

If you’re after a clean, consistent roast with less maintenance, an air roaster is a great choice. For those wanting a more hands-on, traditional experience, a drum roaster is ideal.

Can I use the roaster indoors?

Yes, most small coffee roasters are designed for indoor use, but ventilation is key:

  • Air Roasters: Machines like the Kaffelogic Nano 7 produce minimal smoke, making them ideal for kitchens or small spaces with a window or light ventilation.
  • Drum Roasters: Models like the Aillio Bullet may generate more smoke, especially at darker roast levels. Using them in a well-ventilated area, such as a garage or near an open window, is recommended.

Many roasters also come with built-in smoke suppression systems or exhaust attachments to make indoor roasting easier.

Do I need any additional equipment to start roasting?

Starting with a quality roaster covers most of your needs, but a few extras can enhance your roasting experience:

  1. Cooling System: Some roasters have built-in cooling trays, but if not, you’ll need a way to cool the beans quickly to preserve their flavor.
  2. Ventilation Tools: For larger roasters, an exhaust or duct system may help manage smoke.
  3. Coffee Grinder: Once roasted, you’ll need a grinder to prepare your coffee for brewing.
  4. Storage Solutions: Airtight containers to store roasted beans and preserve freshness.
  5. Roasting Tools: Digital scales and thermometers can be useful for monitoring consistency.
