The Sample Roaster is a development of our 1 lb tabletop roaster that has been used in roaster-retailer applications for the last 10 years.   1 lb of coffee, however, is larger than the sample size needed for "cupping" purposes.  As a result the glass roasting chamber has been segmented to take 3 equal sized samples that can be roasted concurrently under identical conditions.  The roast level can be preset and the roast will then follow the programmed roast profile until completed. The entire roast process is visible through the glass roast chamber.

The sample roaster includes everything you need to start the "cupping process" with your friends and colleagues.  The accessory kit includes a digital scale, the stainless steel segmented roast chamber divider, a rechargeable hand vacuum for easy removal of each roasted sample and trays for sampling. This is a very simple system to use, it produces very consistent results, and can provide the user with 9-12 roasted samples per hour if needed.

The Sample Roaster is now in production!

Available in natural gas (NG) or propane (LP) models (please specify when ordering).
