Every used unit CoffeeTec lists gets checked for condition first. You know what you're buying before you commit.
Buying used also costs less than buying new, without giving up Mill City's durability. If you're comparing used against new, our guide to buying a used coffee roaster covers sizing, inspection steps, and what to ask a seller.

FAQs
What sizes do Mill City coffee roasters come in?
+Mill City's used models on CoffeeTec range from the 500-gram MCR-500 sample roaster to the 3kg MCR-3. The 1kg and 2kg models sit in between, and each step up handles a larger weekly batch.
Are used Mill City roasters reliable for daily commercial roasting?
+Yes. Mill City builds for durability, and CoffeeTec checks the condition of every used unit before listing it. Ask about service history and roast hours on any specific machine you are considering.
Where are Mill City coffee roasters made?
+Mill City manufactures its roasters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Domestic production means the electrical setup and available parts match North American commercial roasting standards from the start.
Is a Mill City sample roaster different from their production models?
+Yes. The MCR-500 sample roaster is built for profile testing and green coffee evaluation in small batches, not daily output. Mill City's 1kg through 3kg models handle regular production roasting instead.
How much does a used Mill City roaster typically cost?
+Pricing depends on size, year, and condition. The 500-gram sample models cost the least, and the 3kg MCR-3 costs more given its higher production capacity. Compare each listing's condition notes and service history to judge value across similar sizes.
