Welcome to the Mill City Roasters KZread page. If you are looking to improve your roasting skills, learn some tips and tricks to get to tastier coffee, and laugh while doing so, you're in the right place. We have been hard at work developing content that is meaningful for coffee roasters. This is free information and applicable to almost all commercial production roasting equipment. We are so glad that you are investing the time in watching our videos in order to develop your skills and aptitude. Thank you for stopping by!
Remember, if seeing us in videos isn't enough, the people you see here are the people you will see teaching our classes live in Minneapolis and around the world. Come and see them in person and learn from them during our extremely popular roasting, tasting, and brewing classes. We would love to extend our midwestern hospitality to you.

I use a 1kg size particle dispenser for our small roasting business, and I agree, - dispensers are, well, indispensable! Ours has significantly sped up our process. Our quality checks every several bags are all consistent. Your grinder setup looks great, and I had not seen the style of sealing machine you're using. Thanks for the show and tell, it's very helpful!
if you don't have a digital roaster, how do you equate power reductions on a variable dial? same with fan speed?
Great video, definitely tempted to buy
The video was interesting ,im from yergacheffe region in ethiopia
I call myself one of the lucky ones. Caffein has no effect on me. I drink a pot 60 oz's in the mornings to mid day and and another 40 oz's after dinner. I also roast about half of the coffee I drink. Yes, I love to taste coffee roasted by others just to see how my roasting compares. No matter how good one is roasting coffee, you also get tired of your own. In the past year, I bet I have had over 30 brands of whole bean coffee in my bar. I don't purchase ground coffee or rare if I do. I use Breville grinder and Breville Precision for my brewing. Even my brewing methods change from day to day. The Breville does a great pour over, Gold brew, fast brew, strong brew and My Brew which allows you to set up your brew method. Since watching this video, I am thinking strong about purchasing some beans and roasting my own de-caff. The only time I think I have ever bad de-caff was long ago and I decided then, NOT FOR ME. Now you have me wanting to give it a try. Should I purchase already roasted beans or give it a go with my roaster?
Your presenters are knowledgeable and their presentations are well done. Thank you for all the effort you put into these videos.
As someone new in the coffee roasting hobby, for me a hobby, I have learned so much about coffee. As you said earlier, most people do not understand or know anything about coffee other than drinking it. Like many other ventures or hobbies, it is all about trial and error. A lot of error. Thanks for the lessons. I can only dream about owning one of your sample roasters.
Thank you. You are a talented presenter and educator.
Thank you. I enjoyed your method of presenting.
I can't thank you enough. I'm a home roaster and caffeine makes my blood pressure spike. Since I started drinking decaf in no longer like the feeling of being caffeinated but I still love coffee. Your videos are very helpful.
With naturals needing a more gentle approach to heat does that also mean you normally want to charge at a lower temperature?
If necessary, yes.
Light Roast？
Not very. Look at the roast profile in the description. He got pretty close to second crack in about 3 minutes of post first crack development time and finished in less than 12 minutes. All of our roasters have a lot of power on tap.
For 5 kilos do you recommend the same charge time or higher?
Too many variables to provide a real answer. Register for class and we'll teach you how to figure it out for any coffee on any roaster for any batch size.
Can you roast finger millet for my flour
Sorry, no.
The statement you made during the light and medium roasts about preferring the roasted beans to have a more swollen appearance and less dark lines (sometimes referred to as wrinkles) would indicate a more roasted inner part of the bean, was a very thought-provoking statement. It made perfect sense.
gorgeously smooth; and im not talking about any coffee. 😎🎵
Wow, that was a lot to take in that fast. I had to watch again, but truly showing why you are the boss. To me , I would rather have than not.
I am so glad I found this video. Thank you for this.
Glad it was helpful!
Same for cooling tray fan motor?
Probably not. The cooling exhaust is not hot like the roaster exhaust. Plus, in the intervening years, we've made some changes that are likely to eliminate the need to service the motor bearings.
Nice roaster, would love one of those in my shop. a little out of reach now ,but oh yes, it will be mine . thinking, roasting coffee is ALL heading in that direction, using cleaner energy. I am looking forward to seeing what my Coffee Crafter 3-e will do with my solar array. Wish it was a Mill City electric roaster. Someday. I have a 500 gram Mill City since 2017 ,that I cant say enough about, my little work horse. Dollar for dollar , one of the best out there..
Wow! Great video. Excellent information if your going in on kcups/pods.
seems like an awful long roast...14 min? how did it taste? dry time over 7 min,,,is that normal for your roasts? just learning here...thanks
That roast cupped extremely well. One of the best coffees of the year.
its over 4 lbs of beans, it will take a bit longer.
What percentage dev did that work out to be ?
Check out the roast profile link in the description...

I have a Mill City 3-kilo. If I take the airflow past 50 percent, the beans shoot right out of exhaust. Ideas?
Thats a big fan for a relatively small roaster and we typically use no more than 1/3 the capacity. Is there some reason you think you should be running higher airflow?
@@MillCityRoastersMNTrying to get a consistent roast. I’ve got the drum speed at 100. Today I used less heat…so far, so good
Cen you give mi aa contact no plzz
Great interview.
Wish y'all had a video on how to adjust the digital controls on the panel. For instance my digital readout for gas pressure and the mechanical dial are way different.
Check out some of the older 500g or 1kg videos.
In lebanon we boil the water then add the grounds and wait for it to foam on low heat
Which grinder did he use?
great information for someone who can afford a real roaster. The one you see in this video is over $6,000 or more.
Mill City is in a league of their own
Sounds like a great company!
Thanks... Derek you did good work man. 👍

Дякую за змістовне відео. Вдачі !
Гарна работа і цікаво. Піду заміряти термодатчик мікрометром !
I have the 1 kg roaster from you guys. What program do I use for my profile to work. Can't get it to work.
Very surprised to see Arabic content, well done!
😃😀😄🙂👍💪👏
How long after roasting should a coffee be cupped?
This was great, thanks.
Another well said tutorial, hit the nail on the on head, well made roasting machines, better roasters operating equipment!
Дякую на цю серію. До зустрічі № 17 !🙂
Дякую за чергову пізнавальну серію вашого серіалу.😊
Це так цікаво ! Цікавіше за серіал "Ходячі мерці". Дякую за науку !
Your honesty is refreshing, raw and simple, I am starting out by selling my coffee ( roasted on a Kaldi Wide 400gram batch size) at my wife's hair salon, this way I roast and drink for free, let's see where it takes me, thanks Steve, maybe someday I will be able to get a coffee roaster from you guys.
