Air Roasters

About Air Roasters

Air roasters, also called fluid bed roasters, use a stream of hot air instead of a spinning drum to roast green coffee beans. CoffeeTec's air roaster lineup covers everything from single pound sample machines to production ready systems, so you can find a hot air coffee roaster sized for your batch. The category traces back to the original Sivetz fluid bed design nearly 50 years ago, and modern air roasting keeps that same promise: fast, even heat with a clean, bright cup. Browse the current lineup below, or compare it against the collection of used Sivetz roasters if you want the machine that started it all.

Why Buy an Air Roaster Through CoffeeTec

Every air roaster listed here comes with real specs up front: batch size, condition, and service history, not just a product photo. That makes it easy to compare a fluid bed roaster the same way you would compare any other major equipment purchase, whether you are testing your first batches or replacing a machine your roastery has outgrown.

Finding the Right Batch Size

Air roasting spans a wide range of batch sizes. Sample and home scale machines, like the Coffee Crafters lineup, suit new roasters and profile testing, while larger fluid bed systems handle steadier production runs. If you are just getting started, the small batch roasters collection groups every roaster built for 1 to 4 kg loads, air or drum, in one place.
