Your Roast, your coffee, your signature

Unique. Fresh. Mikafi

Mikafi is the compact table-top roaster for cafés and roasteries that want more: more control, more quality, more moments of experience for their guests. With Mikafi, the roasting process is made visually visible. The coffee beans are roasted directly on site in a unique, transparent glass drum. Thanks to the transparent design, the entire roasting process can be observed and experienced live. The aroma of fresh coffee fills the room and provides an incomparable experience. Developed for coffee shops where coffee is loved and lived, Mikafi combines technological precision with intuitive operation.

Field of application

The Mikafi roaster is the ideal solution for coffee shops and ambitious roasteries that focus on quality, control and their guests. Developed for all levels of experience - from beginners to professionals - Mikafi opens up new possibilities for individualization and transparency in coffee roasting.

Coffee shops

More freshness, control and uniqueness. For modern cafés that want to differentiate themselves with freshly roasted coffee. Mikafi enables roasting directly on site: space-saving, intuitive and a sensory experience for both the nose and the eye. This gives operators more control over the quality and origin of the bean and strengthens their positioning in the market with coffee that they roast themselves. There are also better sales opportunities, as the sale of home-roasted coffee on site, whether as a beverage or packaged product, increases the margin per cup. The latter is an ideal cross-selling option and is a clear added value for both the customer and the operator.

roasteries

Roasting companies benefit from Mikafi as a flexible addition or entry into their own roasting production. Ideal for developing and testing new roasting profiles, for small batch production or as the first roasting station for start-ups. The transparent glass drum makes the entire roasting process visible, creating proximity, trust and an impressive experience directly on site.

Technology & Design

Mikafi combines modern roasting technology with a compact design - in the smallest of spaces. With a capacity of 600g to 1.2 kg and a roasting time of 9 to 15 minutes per batch, Mikafi delivers consistently high-quality results with minimal emissions and low energy consumption. Including heating the roasting drum and cooling the roasted beans after the roasting process, two roasts per hour are possible with Mikafi. Simple operation via touch display directly on the machine and automatic bean cooling ensure efficiency in everyday use. The machine is mobile and low-emission thanks to the exhaust air filter, making it ideal for a wide variety of locations. Different roasting degrees can be individually adjusted and pre-configured roasting models make it easy to get started.

The design is robust, yet simple and timeless. Compact and reduced to the essentials, Mikafi can be seamlessly integrated into any location.

Mikafi Portal

Roast it, but in a smart way

The Mikafi portal gives you the freedom to control your roaster at any time and from anywhere. The cloud-based platform makes it possible to access all devices remotely and manage them efficiently - easily and regardless of location. Thanks to the location overview, you can see at a glance where your roasters are in use. Create your own roasting profiles, upload new recipes or adapt existing ones and sort them clearly by product, beverage or bean type. Detailed reports and automatic error messages guarantee precise control and minimal downtime. The portal also supports the direct ordering of various green beans via selected partners and suppliers.

Access to the Mikafi portal can be assigned individually, whereby various user roles, including barista or roasting specialist, can be selected.

Roasting coffee beans has never been so sustainable. With Mikafi, you roast without gas. The fully electric operation results in significantly fewer direct emissions. The integrated exhaust air system filters smoke and odors efficiently, making Mikafi easy to operate even in smaller rooms.
