Buying a coffee roaster machine is probably one of the biggest costs in your business, so it makes sense to want to keep it working well for as long as possible. After you purchase your commercial coffee roaster, daily operation and maintenance will be your top priorities. A dirty roaster machine has restricted airflow so it does not yield quality product, not to mention being a fire hazard. With careful maintenance, your coffee roaster machine will be guaranteed to give you a higher return on your investment.
Below are some helpful maintenance tips for your roaster machine:
Technology always improves, but it’s good to keep in mind that roasting coffee is a combination between art and science. As a roaster, it is important to make your tools work for you but do not let tools take over your senses. With coffee roasting, it depends highly on touch, taste and smell as well as the technology of the machine.
In the day-to-day operation, this means coffee roasters need to do coffee cupping sessions regularly. After you achieve your desired roast profile, it is recommended to keep sampling your roasts to ensure they are consistent in quality. Regular cupping will also tell you when your green coffee beans are starting to age, or a certain roasting profile is not working. Also, you can expand your skills by doing a blind tasting, sampling and comparing various green beans, or experimenting with different roast profiles.
Now that we have given you some insights about buying a commercial coffee roaster machine, there is no reason for impulsive buying without considering these important factors. Make an informed decision and level up your business with the right roaster machine.
