Commercial Coffee Roaster Price 2026: Every Yoshan Model, Ex-Works, and What the Number Includes

Our Factory Prices, by Capacity

All prices are ex-works, in USD, for a standard gas build at your voltage. Custom colour, electric heating on some models, and accessories are quoted on top.

Two things jump out of the table, and both are real. First, the biggest step in price inside a size is control: SD-3 manual USD 4,599 against SD-3 Pro with PLC USD 8,889 (electric full hot-air builds: SD-3 USD 6,199, SD-3 Pro USD 11,209). Second, the YS series is priced below the SD Pro at the same capacity because it ships without the loader and on a different layout — a Giesen-style cabinet with a Siemens touch screen against the SD Pro's Probat-style double-wall cast-iron drum; the Giesen alternative and Probat alternative guides explain what each layout buys you.

What the Price Includes — and What It Does Not

Included: the roaster, cooling tray, chaff cyclone, burner jetted for your gas (LPG or natural), built for your voltage and frequency, pre-shipment test roast video, export crate. On SD-6 Pro and above, the green bean loader; on the full-set industrial lines, loader, destoner and afterburner. If you do not want an included item, ask for the price without it: the SD-6, SD-12 and SD-15 Pro are priced as sets with their loader; on the SD-360 Pro full set the loader, destoner and afterburner come off at USD 1,500 / 2,000 / 5,000.

Not included: sea freight, insurance, import duty, inland delivery, ducting to suit your building, an afterburner or filter where your rules require one on a smaller machine, gas and electrical connection, and spares beyond the starter kit. Custom body colour and logo are free on the DY and YS series and standard paint colours are free on the SD series; only electroplated finishes (gold, rose gold, stainless) on the SD are priced separately.

That distinction is the whole reason online price guides disagree with each other, which brings us to the other two numbers.

The Three Numbers: Why Other Guides Do Not Match

1. Ex-works — the table above. What the machine costs at the factory gate. This is the number a manufacturer publishes.

2. Retail — ex-works plus freight, duty, a distributor's warehousing and margin. This is what you see on an equipment retailer's site in the US or Europe, and it is why published ranges for a 5 kg class machine run USD 15,000–45,000 against our USD 12,999 for the SD-6 Pro. Neither number is wrong; they are different things.

3. Landed and running — retail (or ex-works plus your own freight and duty) plus everything it takes to run the machine in your building. Published US figures put ventilation and gas work anywhere from USD 8,000 to 50,000 in strictly regulated cities; in most of the markets we serve it is a fraction of that.

When you compare our price with anyone else's, check which of the three you are looking at.

Turning the Factory Price Into Your Number

Add these lines to any price in the table:

• Sea freight and insurance to your port — depends on your country and the crate size, not the machine's price.
• Import duty and clearance — your country's rate on the roaster's tariff code; ask your customs agent before you order.
• Inland delivery and rigging — an SD-6 Pro weighs around 280 kg before beans, a YS-12 758 kg; a 20 kg machine with loader well over half a tonne.
• Ducting and chaff handling to suit your run; the cyclone is included, the duct is not.
• Emissions equipment if your rules or your neighbours need it — see the afterburner guide.
• Gas and electrical connection by your local trades.
• Spares — a starter kit ships free; order a fuller kit as line items.
• Learning allowance — a month of green coffee for practice batches.

The startup costs guide lists every line that sits outside the machine, and the ROI guide puts your own numbers against the total.

Accessories and Line Equipment

Destoners, smoke filters and industrial grinders ordered together with a roaster are 20% below the standalone prices above. The equipment page has the full range.

How to Compare Two Quotes Fairly

1. Put both on the same delivery term. EXW is the factory gate, FOB is loaded on the ship, CIF is delivered to your port with insurance. Ours above are EXW; ask us for FOB or CIF to your port and you get one number to compare with a retail price.
2. List what is in the crate. Loader, cyclone, tray, spares — our inclusions are stated above; get the other supplier's in writing.
3. Confirm the build. Voltage, phase, frequency, gas type. A machine built for the wrong supply is not cheaper.
4. Separate the accessories — roaster, destoner, loader, afterburner as their own lines.
5. Ask about warranty and parts. One year on the complete machine is our standard, extendable; parts ship from the factory. The after-sales guide shows what to expect.
6. Get the lead time in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial coffee roaster cost?

From USD 899 for a 100 g sample roaster to USD 289,999 for a 300 kg full-auto line with loader, destoner and afterburner, ex-works; the cafe sizes sit at USD 2,599–4,599 for 1–3 kg and USD 7,499–12,999 for 6 kg. The number most buyers actually land on is between four and fifteen thousand dollars, plus freight, duty and installation on top.

Is there a discount for buying two machines or a line?

The line sets are already priced as sets — the SD-30 Pro and SD-60 Pro full sets cost less than the roaster, loader, destoner and afterburner bought separately — and a dealer's second and third machines are quoted on reseller terms. For a single roastery buying a roaster and a destoner together the saving is in the freight and the matched flanges rather than the price.

Do prices change with exchange rates or seasons?

The list is in US dollars and moves rarely; what moves is your landed cost, through freight rates and your own currency. A quote is held for its stated validity period, and a deposit fixes the price for your build. If you are budgeting months ahead, budget the ex-works figure in dollars and re-check freight when you are ready to order.

What payment terms do you work on?

A deposit to start the build and the balance before shipment, against the video of your machine test-roasting — the normal arrangement in this trade, and the one that protects you: you see the machine run before the last payment. First-time buyers can use a platform-protected order; dealers on repeat orders can discuss terms. We do not ask for full payment up front.

Why is the SD-6 Pro so much dearer than the YS-6 at the same batch size?

Because it is a different machine, not a different badge: a cast-iron drum, a green bean loader included in the price, and the classic Probat-style build, against the YS-6's Giesen-style cabinet, Siemens PLC and no loader (both drums are cast iron). Which is right depends on whether you want thermal mass and the loader, or the PLC and the lower price; the 6 kg page sets both out.

Final Thoughts

A commercial coffee roaster price is only useful when you know which of the three numbers it is. Ours above are factory prices, ex-works, with the inclusions stated; add freight, duty and installation for your country and you have your real number. Send us the model, your voltage, your gas and your port, and we will return it as a single figure. Get a quote to your port.
