In the coffee industry is highly significant to be able to register, track, and maintain the quality in each step of the process. Based on that, Martines Caffe, as a specialized coffee roasting company, is continuously updating the equipment to make it possible because the reason is you. Work hard to guarantee that you can enjoy, every time, the same freshly roasted coffee.



We are happy to announce that our latest acquisition was the brand new Besca Bee sample roaster from Besca Roasters. However, what is a sample roaster, why is it principal equipment? And for whom is beneficial? We decided to explore this topic further and share with you some curious information about it.

That is why our quality control manager and head coffee roaster, Alexander from Peru, arranged a conversation with Raf from Poland. He is an official partner of Besca and, at the same time, an Authorized SCA Trainer. So let's see what he will tell us!

WHAT IS A SAMPLE ROSTER?

We started the conversation by asking Raf what a sample roaster is? He defined it as a machine that allows roasting in small batches (samples), so in that way, coffees can be cupped or tested. In other words, by using this type of roaster, you can experiment without wasting too much coffee for that.

WHY IS SO IMPORTANT? THE PURPOSES

He mentioned that it is significant because it allows not only roasting small quantities of coffees but also, at the same time, helps to control the quality. And to understand better how green beans react in the roasting process depending on the different origins of the specialty coffee, etc. All that allows roasting multiple batches until you expert the best profile of each coffee and may save some production and quality control costs too.

FOR WHOM IS IT IMPORTANT: WHO NEED TO HAVE A SAMPLE ROASTER

Raf told us that firstly, the producers need to count on a sample roaster. After that, the importers, as well as coffee roasters. However, he mentioned something interesting, which was for education, for teaching. Mainly he stated that in every stage of the coffee process, the professionals should have a sample roaster.

Finally, was commented on the new trends about home roasting. Have you ever thought to roast your coffee at home and then enjoy it in your ritual? You may check the full video interview in our social media profiles
