Air Coffee Roasters and Fluid Bed Roasting Systems

Air roasters, also called fluid-bed or coffee-air roasters, use a stream of hot air instead of a spinning drum to roast green coffee beans. CoffeeTec's air roaster lineup spans single-pound sample machines up to full production systems. You can match a hot-air coffee roaster to your actual batch size. The category traces back to Michael Sivetz's original fluid-bed design nearly 50 years ago. Today's air roasters still deliver that same fast, even heat and a clean, bright cup. Browse the current lineup below, or start with the Sivetz roasters collection if you want the machine that started the category.

Why Buy an Air Roaster Through CoffeeTec

Every air roaster listed here shows batch size, condition, and service history up front, not just a photo and a price. That makes it simple to compare a fluid-bed coffee roaster the same way you would compare any other major equipment purchase. It works whether you are testing your first profile or replacing a machine your roastery has outgrown.

Matching an Air Roaster to Your Batch Size

Air roasting covers a wide range of batch sizes. Compact machines like the Coffee Crafters lineup suit new roasters and profile testing. Larger fluid-bed systems handle steadier daily production instead. If you roast in the 1 to 4 kg range, air or drum, the small-batch roasters collection groups every option in one place.

Ventilation and Setup

Most air roasters run on electricity and produce less smoke than gas-fired drum roasters. Venting needs still vary by model, though. Check each listing's spec sheet for airflow, chaff collection, and any afterburner details before you buy. This matters most if you plan to roast indoors.
