2 Kilogram Coffee Roaster, MCR-2E

New for 2024 - our new electric coffee roaster! The new MCR-2E roaster is the industry’s first zero-added carbon emission studio and lab roaster designed for precision small batch production and roast performance.  Each MCR-2E features a custom-designed, single-walled, ferrous steel drum made in-house at our Minneapolis manufacturing facility. This drum design optimizes heat transfer from the custom, US-made, 5000 watt heating elements while eliminating the charred chaff roast flavor and uneven roasts associated with thin walled stainless perforated drum designs attempting  to boost performance by allowing infrared impingement on the seed. Heat output on the MCR-2E is provided by a highly sophisticated, programmable square wave controller.  This system reduces latency induced response lag and set-point overshoot. It also provides digital connectivity, increases heating element life, and overall system longevity and reliability. The remainder of the all-digital control system integrates seamlessly with RoastPATH®, including the highly requested Roast Replay feature. During the roast, RoastPATH® automatically logs BT, ET, IT and DT temperature readings, initial charge state settings, and fan, fuel, and drum speed adjustments. Direct drum pressure is also logged as a feedback loop for operator controlled and automated roast airflow changes. This model includes the Operator Assist System which automatically recovers to production charge temperature settings, starts timers, and triggers the cooling tray fan and stirring arms off/on at discharge from the drum or cooling tray. This system also incorporates position sensors that make it nearly impossible to accidentally discharge green coffee from the drum into a cooling tray filled with roasted coffee. The MCR-2E is optionally available with UL® Sanitation certification necessary to meet NSF requirements for installation in retail food service locations in California.
