Green Coffee Beans for Santoker Roasters

Yes, and it's a common setup. Treat the Q20 roast as a guide to how the coffee responds rather than a profile to copy, because hot-air and drum roasters transfer heat differently. Expect to adjust charge temperature and development when you scale up.

The R200 typically takes 8–12 minutes. The Q20 hot-air sample roaster is usually quicker. Santoker's app shows your rate of rise live, which makes it easier to repeat a roast.

The electric Q20 can be used indoors with normal ventilation. The R200 and R-series use gas, so they need proper ventilation and safe gas handling. Follow Santoker's installation guidance.

For home use, the R200 (up to 300g) gives you a real drum-roasting experience, while the Q20 suits sample roasting and lighter profiles. Our home roaster comparison covers how they compare with other machines.

We offer coffee starting from as little as 0.5kg (1 lb) all the way up to full sacks. If you’re looking for larger quantities than what’s listed on our site, just get in touch! We’d be happy to help you organise and place a custom order. We're here to make sure you get exactly what you need.

We totally get it - quality is everything! That’s why we offer samples for almost all our coffees, so if you’re unsure, you can try it yourself before committing. Plus, every coffee comes with a detailed, easy-to-read cupping report where we break down the scores using SCA protocol and list all the flavour notes. We’re all about transparency, so you’ll know exactly what you’re getting!

Properly stored, green coffee beans can last up to a year or more without losing quality. To store them long term, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Airtight containers work best to protect them from humidity and odours.
