the verdict

the TKMSX-10 is a 10 kg gas drum that sits at the entry level for small commercial roasting. batch range is 2 kg to 10 kg, and you get profile logging to track your roasts. the gas burner is straightforward and you can adjust heat mid-roast without much lag. cooling tray handles a full 10 kg batch but moves slower than higher-end machines, so don't rush the dump or you'll get uneven cooling. this machine works for a single cafe location or a small wholesale setup roasting 40 to 60 kg a day. it's not going to run 12 hours straight without showing wear. if you maintain it and don't push past its duty cycle, it'll roast coffee reliably for a few years.

  • gas heat is responsive and easy to control

trade-offs
