The Sample Roaster was designed for creating sample roasts for cupping but is also suitable for profiling. It is widely used in roastery cafes and coffee teaching labs due to the available electric heater model that allows for installation without difficult gas installation or construction. The roaster drum design allows for direct heat transfer from the flame and allows for ideal sample roasting time and color as dictated by sampling guidelines. Additionally, the space-saving cyclone design is intended to decrease the footprint of the roaster.
