coffee-tech engineering coffee-tech ghibli r15
the Ghibli R15 bridges sample roasting and small production with 3 to 15 kg batch range and roughly 60 kg hourly capacity. it's built for roasters outgrowing 1 or 2 kg machines who need shop credibility and weekend wholesale volume without committing to 30 kg platforms. the vortex drum and modulating gas burner handle light roasts and dense beans reasonably well, and the closed combustion chamber helps if you're roasting in customer-facing retail space. at 400 kg and 114 cm wide it fits tighter footprints than comparable gas machines. profile logging comes standard, which matters for consistency when you're selling bags. trade-off is the minimum batch size of 3 kg, which limits sampling flexibility and makes dialing in new origins expensive. hourly output assumes fast turnarounds that aren't realistic for every roast style. it's a capable small production machine if your volume sits between 100 and 400 kg per week and you value workspace air quality.
what it does well
- 3 to 15 kg batch range covers sampling and small wholesale runs
- closed ceramic combustion chamber keeps workspace cleaner during roasting
- profile logging and modulating burner standard for repeatability
- 400 kg weight and compact footprint work in tighter retail spaces
where it stops short
- 3 kg minimum batch makes sample roasting and dialing expensive
- 60 kg hourly output assumes 14 minute cycles that don't fit every profile
- 2500w electrical draw requires dedicated circuit in older buildings
- limited north american service network compared to domestic brands
