12 kg Probat L12 - 1969 Model

A real vintage roaster... You don't see many of these come by!
***Includes a 2015 PROast Sample Roaster 1.5 kg*** 

Calling all coffee aficionados and vintage lovers! Feast your eyes on this classic gem: the 12 Kilo Probat L12 Roaster – crafted over 50 years ago and still brimming with roasting magic.

This 12kg workhorse is in “Good” condition, rocking that charming vintage vibe and a bit of well-earned character. Let’s be real—it’s got a few quirks:

• A loose, occasionally misfiring pilot that could use some TLC
• A drop-shoot handle with a mind of its own
• A cooling tray lever switch that prefers the manual touch

But hey, that’s just personality, and any seasoned roaster will feel right at home with its vintage charm.

The story so far? This beauty was last fired up in August 2023, after 7.5 years of dedicated roasting with its current owner. It’s well-loved, with some fresh upgrades including:
✅ New bearings
✅ A new drive chain

Oh, and here’s where old school meets new school: it comes with a Data Log Connection for Cropster or Artisan, so you can stay fully connected while roasting. Bonus: extra temperature probes and exhaust vent piping are included!

But wait, there’s more! The current owner is throwing in a lightly used PROaster 1.5 kg Sample Roaster to sweeten the deal (check the pics for details).
All Electric Roaster using 220v Single phase 
The THCR-01 achieves a rich flavor with a roasting system using radiant heat and hot blast. Compared to direct drum roasters, the THCR-01 roaster provides uniform heat distribution in conjunction with hot blast technology, producing great results even for beginners. It ensures a perfectly uniform roasting result even during dark roasting.

If you’re looking for a vintage roaster with character, charm, and proven roasting chops, this Probat L12 from 1969 is your ticket to coffee greatness. Don’t let this classic slip through your fingers—snag it and let’s roast like it’s the swinging ‘60s all over again!
