“All the coffees I buy are roasted on the IKAWA before I do my final evaluation. I also use it for experimenting with roast profiles to see the potential in a coffee, and for roasting experiments on my farms.”

“I immediately saw its application as a sample roaster. And I’ve used it for competition both for profiling and to compete with, including for the World Barista Championships. Since I bought one, I’ve roasted about 80 Kg of coffee on my IKAWA.”

“It’s incredibly valuable at origin where we can roast our profiles on location. For example, we can take fresh samples, almost directly off the drying beds, and roast them the same night at the hotel for a next day cupping. It helps us make decisions much faster and with more confidence.”
