A 5kg coffee roaster is the most popular entry point for specialty coffee roasteries, artisan cafés, and small roasting businesses. With a 5kg green coffee batch capacity (yielding roughly 4–4.2kg roasted), a 5kg machine can supply a busy café or a growing wholesale account consistently every day.
Who Is a 5kg Coffee Roaster For?
- Specialty coffee shops roasting their own single-origins and blends in-house
- Small roasteries supplying 2–5 wholesale café accounts
- Restaurant groups wanting a roastery concept on-site
- Coffee subscription brands in early growth stage
