01

Before the shortlist

The first four answers do most of the work

A useful ranking starts only after the constraints specific to this market are clear.

  1. 01

    Is the machine for cupping samples, household coffee, a small selling operation or established commercial production?

  2. 02

    How much roasted coffee is needed each week, and what routine charge size and number of back-to-back cycles will produce it?

  3. 03

    Which roast styles need control over conductive, convective and radiant heat, airflow, development and cooling?

  4. 04

    Where will electrical load, smoke, odor, chaff, hot surfaces, cleaning and a failed machine fit in the operating plan?

Charge weight
The mass of green coffee loaded for one roast, which can be lower than the advertised maximum
Rate of rise
The rate at which measured coffee temperature changes during the roast
First crack
A physical and audible stage as steam pressure changes the bean structure, often used as a roast-development marker
Between-batch protocol
A repeatable process that returns the machine to a known thermal state before the next charge
