The new standard
for coffee roasting.

The DirectRoaster operates on a standard 400V three-phase power supply (3Ø), which is common in commercial and industrial settings across Europe and many other regions. Power consumption is remarkably efficient at approximately 0.3 kWh per kilogram of coffee roasted. Our team will assess your electrical setup during the site survey to ensure compatibility. In most cases, existing commercial electrical infrastructure is sufficient.

Because the DirectRoaster is 100% electric with no gas combustion, you don't need complex ventilation systems or gas lines. A standard extraction fan is sufficient for smoke and chaff removal during roasting. This significantly reduces installation costs and makes the roaster suitable for locations where gas installations are impractical or prohibited, including many café environments.

The DirectRoaster requires just 1.54m² of floor space (160cm × 96cm), making it one of the most compact professional roasters available. The fully integrated design includes the roaster, cooling tray, and control system in one unit, no separate destoner or additional equipment footprint required.

The standard DirectRoaster comes in a sleek matte black finish designed to complement any roastery or café environment. Custom color options may be available for larger orders. Please contact our sales team to discuss your specific requirements and lead times.

No. The DirectRoaster is engineered from the ground up as a 100% electric hot-air convection roaster. The entire thermal system, including the proprietary Energy Recovery System (ERS), is optimized for electric operation. This isn't a limitation, it's a feature. Electric operation enables precise temperature control, zero emissions, lower operating costs, and simpler installation.

Yes! The DirectRoaster's precise temperature control and hot-air convection make it excellent for roasting a variety of products including cacao nibs, various nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts), grains, and seeds. Many of our customers use the same machine for diversified product lines. Please note that dedicated batches are recommended to avoid flavor cross-contamination.

The DirectRoaster is designed for continuous production. With the ERS keeping the system at optimal temperature and our fast between-batch protocol, you can roast back-to-back batches all day. At maximum throughput with 10kg batches, you can achieve approximately 60kg per hour. The between-batch turnaround is typically just 2-3 minutes.

The DirectRoaster logs comprehensive roast data including bean temperature, drum temperature, airflow rates, time curves, and all user inputs. Data can be exported for analysis and is compatible with Cropster (full integration coming soon). This enables complete traceability, profile optimization, and quality control for every batch you roast.

The DirectRoaster handles batch sizes from 1kg to 10kg, giving you flexibility for both sample roasting and full production runs in a single machine. This range makes it ideal for specialty roasters who need to roast small lots for cupping and development while also handling production volumes.

Roast times typically range from 4 to 12 minutes depending on your profile, batch size, and desired development. The hot-air convection system provides responsive heat transfer, giving you precise control over roast progression. Most medium roast profiles complete in 8-10 minutes.

The ERS is a heat exchanger (not an air recycler) that captures thermal energy from the exhaust and transfers it to preheat incoming fresh air. Important: the air itself is never recycled, only the heat is transferred. This means you always roast with 100% clean, fresh air while recovering up to 75% of thermal energy that would otherwise be lost. The result is 24% better energy efficiency and 10% faster roast cycles.
