Kuban Base 3kg Manual Coffee Roaster
About the Brand
Kuban Coffee Roasters has been building roasting equipment in Bornova, İzmir, Turkey since 1996 — nearly three decades spent refining drum roasters, grinders and bean silos for the global coffee trade. The company now exports to more than 60 countries and supports over 5,000 customers, from micro-roasteries and training labs to industrial roasting operations. It's engineering depth rather than marketing gloss — the kind of pedigree that shows in the detail.
The Product
The Kuban Base 3kg Manual Roaster is built for roasters ready to move beyond micro-batch quantities without stepping up to industrial-scale equipment. It gives you full manual control over flame, drum speed and airflow, in a compact machine sized for micro-roasteries, cafés, training centres and startup coffee brands. It's professional-grade roasting capacity without the professional-grade footprint.
Key Features
Generous Batch Size, Compact Footprint (More Output, Same Space)
Roast up to 3kg of green coffee per batch, delivering approximately 12kg/hour of roasted output — enough throughput for profiling new origins or preparing café blends without straining your space.
Fully Manual, Fully Responsive (Hands-On Control)
Manual flame, drum speed and airflow adjustment put you in charge of every stage of development, with the option to upgrade to PLC touchscreen control and roasting software (Cropster and Artisan) later.
Efficient Heat & Roast Uniformity (Repeatable Results)
A double-walled, heat-insulated drum, responsive temperature sensors and a proportional burner combine for smooth, thermally stable roasts.
Integrated Chaff Collector & 4-Motor System (Clean, Fluid Workflow)
Dedicated motors for the drum, cooling tray, exhaust fan and chaff cyclone keep your roast zone clean and cool, while the cooling tray brings batches down fast to preserve clarity in the cup.
Industrial-Grade Build (Made to Last)
Stainless steel construction and high-heat ceramic insulation back up Kuban's reputation for equipment built to run daily, for years.
Who It's Built For
You're a growing micro-roastery ready for consistent volume, a café owner who wants full roast control with room to scale, or a coffee educator running manual-and-software workflows side by side. The Base 3kg is a robust, no-nonsense workhorse for anyone who wants more than just a machine — you want a roasting partner that performs.
