Rubasse Coffee Roasters UK

We are the UK distributor of Rubasse Coffee Roasters and have always specialised in using electric coffee roasters. As specialists in this type of roaster, with expert knowledge in their operation and maintenance, we became the UK distributor.

Rubasse Roasters enable you to elevate your coffee roasting to the next level. With precise control and responsiveness, they allow you to refine your skills and consistently produce coffee roasted to your unique style.

Direct radiation heating - The secret to roasting spectacular coffee

Near infrared (NIR) radiation is selected as the type of radiant heat for all Rubasse roasters due to its superior absorption by the coffee beans and its ultra-responsive, rapid heating capabilities (despite being an electric roaster, which is traditionally associated with steady but sluggish heating). By placing the NIR heating element at the centre of the drum and designing the roasting drum and airflow accordingly, we have significantly improved energy efficiency during coffee roasting compared to traditional gas roasters.

Features

Pre-heating

All Rubasse roasters are equipped with an auto preheat system, which allows roasters to reach the target charge temperature within five minutes. This system profoundly enhances production efficiency (traditional drum roasters might take more than 30 minutes).

Auto-pilot System

From roaster warm up to post-cooling unloading, our automated roaster functions have you covered:
  • Auto charge after finishing preheating.
  • Fully automated smart roasting, follow your selected roast profile by automatically adjusting heat power, exhaust, and drum rotation speed.
  • Auto discharge after roasting has completed.
  • Auto stirring and cooling after discharging.

Air Pressure Compensation system

Advanced air pressure stabilization technology redefines the roasting experience. Our state-of-the-art differential pressure compensation system ensures that you achieve consistent and exceptional flavour profiles with every batch.

  1. Consistent Flavour Reproduction: Say goodbye to the variability caused by exhaust blockages. Our technology automatically adjusts to maintain optimal exhaust volume, guaranteeing that your coffee beans are roasted to perfection every time.

  2. Extended Cleaning Intervals: Reduce downtime and operational costs! The Rubasse Roaster minimizes the need for frequent cleanings by compensating for reduced airflow, allowing you to focus on what matters most—crafting exquisite coffee.

  3. User-Friendly Experience: Enjoy seamless roasting with automated prompts that remind you when it’s time to clean, ensuring your machine is always operating at peak efficiency without interrupting your workflow.

  4. Real-Time Adjustments: Our intelligent system monitors and adjusts the exhaust in real time, ensuring that even under challenging conditions, your roasting profile remains unchanged. Experience flawless temperature reproduction that captures the essence of your unique style.

  5. Built for Professionals: Designed for both seasoned roasters and newcomers alike, the Rubasse Roaster empowers you to unlock the full potential of your coffee beans, delivering outstanding results every time.

Safety Features

When using a coffee roasting machine, it is well known that it needs to be warmed up from room temperature to a higher operating temperature before roasting. With a gas roasting machine, this process can take a considerable amount of time. It starts at a room temperature of 26°C and preheats to 200°C or higher. After the entire drum is heated, it cools down to 100°C and then preheats again to the target bean temperature of 180°C. The whole process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Roasters often use this time to select beans, brew coffee, and attend to other tasks. If they are not standing in front of the roasting machine, they might return later to find that the fire is not on, and they could accidentally ignite it, potentially causing a flash fire or explosion.

Warm up safety

From the perspective of a roaster, Rubasse has developed a series of easy-to-use and reliable safety mechanisms to protect personal and property safety while pursuing coffee flavour and intelligent reproduction.

Rubasse not only allows the computer to automatically warm up the machine but also controls the power to maintain the warm-up temperature at the set value. It even locks the upper limit of the preheat temperature. Even if you are negligent for a moment, the Rubasse roasting machine will still maintain a safe temperature. (Reminder: roasting coffee is a high-temperature operation, and it is recommended to remain by the roasting machine throughout the process.) Even for novice roasters who input a higher warm-up temperature, the computer will help by locking it at the limit of 260°C to prevent the drum from burning out at high temperatures and to protect the roasting machine.

Automatic cut off

When roasting coffee beans, if they are roasted to a dark level where the second crack is imminent, the temperature will typically reach around 240°C. However, if the temperature exceeds 260°C, the coffee beans will become carbonised and could potentially catch fire inside the roasting chamber. If the computer detects that the actual temperature inside the drum exceeds 260°C, it will automatically shut off the heat power to prevent further heating and mitigate the risk of coffee bean combustion.
