Coffee shops

More freshness, control and uniqueness. Ideal for modern coffee shops looking to stand out with freshly roasted coffee. Mikafi enables on-site roasting: it is space-saving and intuitive, and provides a sensory experience for the nose and eyes. This gives operators more control over the quality and origin of the beans, strengthening their market position with coffee that they roast themselves. Additionally, selling home-roasted coffee on site, whether as a beverage or packaged coffee beans, creates better sales opportunities. The latter is an ideal cross-selling option, representing clear added value for customers and operators alike.

Roasteries

Roasting companies benefit from Mikafi as a flexible addition or entry into their own roasting production. Ideal for 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.

Office and co-working space

Mikafi transforms offices and co-working spaces into unique meeting places. Thanks to automated roasting, even beginners can make the perfect coffee at any time, fresh and transparent. Employees and guests alike benefit from a change to their working day, which boosts motivation and interaction. Visible roasting creates an inspiring experience that combines enjoyment with community right in your office.

Hotel and hospitality

Mikafi transforms hotel bars and cafés into extraordinary places that are not only suitable for breakfast, but also for a relaxed afternoon coffee. Roasting directly on site creates a new product category that delights guests. At the same time, it strengthens the hotel's brand image, underlines its quality and ensures that every stay is unforgettable.

Specialty retail

Thanks to Mikafi, coffee shops are transformed into interactive experience spaces. Customers can watch the roasting process live, which enhances the overall customer experience and brings the brand to life. The store clearly stands out from the competition, inspiring guests and building noise. This leads to an even more positive experience for customers who get to watch the process in real time.

Technology & Design

Mikafi combines state-of-the-art roasting technology with a compact design, making it ideal for any space. With a capacity of 600 g to 1.2 kg and a roasting time of just 9 to 15 minutes per batch, the Mikafi consistently delivers high-quality results while keeping emissions and energy consumption to a minimum. Two roasts per hour are possible with Mikafi, including heating the roasting drum and cooling the roasted beans after the roasting process. Simple operation via the touch display on the machine itself 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 levels can be adjusted individually, and pre-configured roasting recipes make it easy to get started. The design is robust yet simple and timeless. Compact and stripped back to the essentials, the Mikafi can be seamlessly integrated into any location.

Manual or automatic roasting

The Mikafi roaster offers complete flexibility, making it ideal for both beginners and professionals. If you don't yet have any roasting experience, simply start with the predefined roasting recipes from Thermoplan to achieve consistent results immediately. If you are more experienced, you can manually adjust all the relevant parameters, create your own profiles and experiment with flavours and degrees of roast. This turns roasting into an experience.
