Before your production roaster is even ordered, you can use the IKAWA to begin learning about flavour, roasting, and cupping. And begin to purchase your first coffees.
Enrol in an online live SCA Foundation Class from CoffeeMind that uses IKAWA to get a jump on learning to roast.
We've seen small roastery employees doing everything from order intake, production scheduling, roasting, packing, and more.
To keep quality up, ensure you’re buying the best coffees, you need to spend a lot of time cupping, and often that’s hard.
IKAWA’s are perfect because they’re essentially hands-free, and save time, allowing you to easily add sample roasting into a busy day, alongside emails, production roasting, and more.
Click here to learn more about why IKAWA’s make a great fit in a roastery.
Whether it’s you or a teammate roasting the latest samples, you can ensure you’re getting the same roasting results and have confidence at the cupping table.
Our customers love the automation IKAWA provides to bring maximum consistency between batches, and people. It gives them more flexibility in sharing the sample roasting, and more confidence when it comes time to cup.
Unlock insights about your coffee from cupping, and calibrate with buyers around the world using our sharable roast profiles.
We continue to hear how valuable the IKAWA is during harvest, both to visiting buyers at the farm, and to the farm.
In your offices or on the road, you can turn on an IKAWA and have a roasted sample in less than 10 minutes.
Our customers love that they can receive a last minute sample and it’s not issue to include it in the cupping.
Additionally, creating and sharing IKAWA roast profiles for your coffee samples will help your roaster customers get the best out of their cuppings, and let them find the perfect coffee for them.
The humidity sensor detects the moisture released by the beans at all stages of the roast
Track variations in the quantity, rate and timing of moisture released during roasting
Three new app features help you understand your roast, so you can bring your customers the best coffee
Great for green buying
Get through more samples than ever before and never miss first crack in a noisy roastery. Ensure more objective results from whoever is using the roaster.
Great for flavour profiling
Automatically triggers your preferred Development Time or Ratio from using Auto-Detect 1st Crack. So you can control flavours more accurately.
Great for production scale up
Get a visual template for when to apply heat in production roasts, for example to avoid crashing the roast - so you don’t waste green beans in test roasts.

Access 100’s of roast profiles from coffee professionals across the globe.
Whether it’s our Online Roast Profile Library or a live Online SCA Roasting Foundation course, IKAWA connects you to professional resources easily. Use the simple graph editor to explore how flavour changes with edits to the roast profile, or quickly roast a group of samples from the same country with the same profile to see how each lot offers different flavours.
(Course here from CoffeeMind)
You can learn a lot about a coffee with a few roasts on the IKAWA. Does it prefer a quick roast, or a longer roast? Lighter, or darker? If you have the Pro100x you can even get a graph to see where and how quickly the moisture is released from the coffee.
If your first few batches of a new coffee are not representing your company or coffee well enough, try a few batches in the IKAWA first.
Learn more about translating a roast to production here.
Don’t wait until your last few production roasts to find the best flavours in your coffee. After a new coffee arrives in the roastery, use the IKAWA to run a few quick roasts that explore varying lengths of roast, shapes, or end temperatures, and get a target flavour profile for production before your first test batch.
Take full control of which coffees you purchase, and cup with confidence. The IKAWA was designed for green coffee evaluation and purchasing, and has industry-leading calibration to ensure each roast is the same as the last. It lets you cup and score with confidence.

IKAWA’s have been helping coffee champions win competitions since 2015. They are a perfect tool to roast rare and expensive coffees in small batches. The industry-leading consistency roast to roast also let’s your roast different batches exactly the same, giving you flexibility in training and when travelling to the competition itself.
Read our blog post here to learn more about why IKAWAs are perfect for competitions.
Some situations call for it - such as businesses that want to offer really expensive and rare coffees in small batches. The IKAWAs small footprint and easy of use means adding this in as a small batch roaster is quick and effective.
