Question 1

what batch sizes can the Nano 7e handle?

Accepted Answer

the base Nano 7e roasts 90 to 120 grams per batch in standard configuration. Kaffelogic offers an optional Boost Kit (anodized aluminum inserts that attach to the roast chamber) which extends the range down to 50 grams and up to 200 grams. without the kit, you're locked into that 90–120g window, which works well for cupping and sample evaluation but limits flexibility if you want smaller test batches or slightly larger home roasting runs. roast time averages around ten minutes with a four-minute cooling cycle.

Question 2

do you need the Kaffelogic Studio software to roast?

Accepted Answer

no. the Nano 7e ships with fifteen preloaded profiles accessible directly from the machine's control panel, so you can roast without connecting to a computer. the Studio software is optional and adds profile customization, real-time data logging, and the ability to save and share roast curves. if you plan to develop specific profiles for different origins or processes, the software becomes more useful. for straightforward sample roasting or dialing in a consistent home roast, the onboard profiles cover most needs.

Question 3

who should consider a Kaffelogic over other sample roasters?

Accepted Answer

Kaffelogic makes sense if you prioritize automation, small footprint, and tight pid control in a fluid-bed format. it suits roasteries doing regular sample evaluation, importers cupping multiple lots, or home roasters who want repeatable results without manual heat adjustments. trade-offs include the fixed batch size window (even with the Boost Kit, range is limited compared to some competing sample roasters), lack of waterproofing for cleanup, and reliance on software for deeper customization. if you roast varied batch sizes or prefer drum roasting, other platforms may fit better.
