ikawa ikawa pro 100
the pro 100 doubles batch size to 100g, which gives you 10 to 12 cupping bowls per roast or enough to send samples to multiple people. same construction and app control as the 50g model, just a taller roast chamber. the extra capacity is useful for import offices running larger cuppings or roasteries that want backup samples without running multiple batches. still portable with the pelican case, still rated for 60+ roasts per day. the fluid bed system and single-fan design carry over, so maintenance and reliability are the same. trade-offs are identical to the smaller model: this doesn't replicate drum roasting, the batch size is fixed, and you're dependent on the app for control. the 100g size adds a bit of weight (about half a pound more) and height, but it's still compact enough for field work. best for buyers and labs that need higher sample volume per roast without sacrificing portability or consistency. if you're mostly doing small single-table cuppings, the 50g model is sufficient and lighter.
what it does well
- 100g batch yields enough for larger cuppings or multiple sample sends
- same durable single-fan construction and low maintenance as 50g model
- app-based profiles keep evaluation consistent across roasts and machines
- still portable and field-ready with included pelican case
where it stops short
- fluid bed profile won't match your production drum roaster
- fixed 100g batch means no flexibility for smaller or larger samples
- app control required, no manual override for hands-on roasters
- slightly taller and heavier than 50g model, though difference is minor
