We Love Probats—And Here’s Why

There’s a reason why Probat roasters fly off our site. Iconic, reliable, and built to last, they’ve earned their reputation across decades—from the 1960s to the 1990s and beyond. Roasters know the name Probat means serious quality, and savvy buyers are always on the lookout.

But let’s talk about the UG series—because we have a soft spot for it.

Originally developed in the 1920s, the Probat UG line is unlike anything else. Its signature “flavor wheel” allows precise control of hot air flow with a simple flick of the wrist. This intuitive design gives roasters unparalleled flexibility—and a flavor profile that’s as rich and distinctive as the machine itself.

For Sale: Used Probat UG15 with Cyclone & Chimney (computer not included)

This Probat UG15 is a proud member of that legendary line. It delivers the unmistakable roast that only a UG can produce—consistently, beautifully, and all day long.

  • Ownership & Usage: Purchased used in 2011, this machine was in full-time operation until October 2024, when a capacity upgrade shifted it to backup duty (just one roast per week).

  • Condition: Fully operational with no known issues, aside from one slightly loose gas handle. All regular maintenance—greasing, belt replacement, exhaust cleaning—was performed in-house.

  • Status: The roaster has been decommissioned and is ready for freight prep and shipping.
