About Dutch Master Roasters (DMR)
Dutch Master Roasters (DMR) builds tablet-controlled drum roasters designed and manufactured in the Netherlands. This collection lists used DMR machines for roasters who want precise, repeatable results without a steep learning curve.
DMR is the roasting brand founded by Sander Bussink and Clemens te Pas, pairing decades of roaster refurbishing experience with custom Dutch metalwork. Every DMR roaster ships with iPad control, automatic airflow adjustment, and a quiet, energy-efficient burn.

Why Buy a Used Dutch Master Roaster
DMR builds every roaster in-house at its own facility in the Netherlands, pairing roaster refurbishing know-how with in-house metal fabrication. That background shows up in the details: an interior cooling system, automatic motor and fan shutoff, and a tablet control panel that replaces the traditional control cabinet.
Each used DMR listing on CoffeeTec includes condition notes and service history, so you can compare a DMR roaster against other used drum roasters the same way you'd compare any major equipment purchase.
DMR Roaster Sizes
DMR builds five roaster sizes, from a compact 1 kg unit through a 70 kg production machine. Most listings you'll find here fall in the 5 kg and 15 kg range, which lines up with CoffeeTec's 5 to 18 kg roaster collection.
