Is the Valenta 8 fully automated?
Some parts of the roaster have the option to be automated by using the Hermetheus Co-Pilot. This device allows you to connect the roaster to your computer where you can use Artisan Scope roast profiling software to tell the roaster what profile you want to roast and the device will change the heat setting on the roaster to follow the roast curve you set for it. All you would need to do is load the beans, set the loft, click GO on your computer, and the roaster will take care of the rest until it’s time to dump the beans into the bean cooler. This device is an additional $999.
Do I need to vent the roaster to the outside?
Yes, you will need to vent the smoke outside. Most people do this by cutting a hole in their wall and running rigid ducting through it, just like a clothes dryer.
What else do I need to run the roaster outside of what is included with my purchase?

There are just a few things that you will need to get on your own before you can use the roaster.
- #1. The power cord for the roaster. This will need to be a 50-amp range cord that you can easily find at your local hardware store. It can be either 3- or 4-prong depending on if you need the 4th wire for the ground.
-
#2. Rigid ducting. Coffee Crafters will provide enough flex ducting to connect the roaster and the bean cooler to the exhaust blower. You will need to get rigid ducting for the discharge side that is venting the smoke to the outside. You can find more information about this in the roaster manual on page 17-19.

Does the Valenta 8 coffee roaster come with a warranty?
Yes, all new roasters come with a one-year warranty from the time of purchase. While under warranty, if any part of the roaster were to stop working or malfunction, Coffee Crafters will overnight the replacement part to you at no cost. After the one-year is up, you will still have access to replacement parts, you will just need to pay for them.
Do I need an afterburner for this roaster?
No, you will not need an afterburner to run this roaster unless specifically required to by your building manager, city inspector, etc. Since it is all electric, the only smoke coming from the roaster is natural smoke from the beans when being roasted and does not fall under most codes/laws for exhaust smoke.
