Who is Kuban Coffee Roasters?

Kuban Base 3 kg Manual Roaster – Built for serious small-batch roasting
If you're ready to take your roasting to the next level, the Kuban Base 3 kg Manual Roaster offers the perfect balance of batch size, flexibility, and control. Designed in İzmir, Turkey by Kuban Coffee Roasters, this model delivers professional-grade roasting capacity in a compact, elegant machine—ideal for micro-roasteries, cafés, training centres, and startup coffee brands.
Why the Base 3kg Stands Out
-
Generous batch size with compact footprint
Roast up to 3 kg of green coffee per batch, delivering approximately 12 kg/hour of roasted output. Whether you're profiling new origins or preparing café blends, this model gives you the throughput you need—without the space strain. -
Fully manual, fully responsive
Designed for artisans who prefer hands-on control, the Base 3 kg features manual flame, drum speed, and airflow adjustment, putting you in charge of every stage of development. For those wanting to automate later, it’s compatible with PLC touchscreen control and roasting software (Cropster & Artisan). -
Efficient heat and roast uniformity
The Base series is engineered for thermal stability and even bean development, with a double-walled, heat-insulated drum, responsive temperature sensors, and proportional burner for smooth, repeatable roasts. -
Integrated chaff collector & 4-motor system
With dedicated motors for the drum, cooling tray, exhaust fan, and chaff cyclone, your roast zone stays clean and cool while keeping workflow fluid. The cooling tray brings batches down fast, preserving clarity in the cup. -
Industrial-grade build
Stainless steel, high-heat ceramic insulation, and Kuban’s reputation for quality mean this roaster is made to last—and built to impress.
