Taiwa Sheet Metal Fabrication Coffee Bean Roasters Make it Easy to Prepare Coffee at Home

Several of our latest sheet metal fabrication projects have been focused on coffee culture, home coffee roasters, and coffee accessories for home or commercial use. We’ve been fortunate to be able to explore innovative, aesthetically pleasing, and highly functional designs in our development of these attractive, useful products. We think our coffee roaster designs are perfect for home use as well as commercial, and the coffee tastes excellent as well!

Why are sheet metal coffee roasting machines popular in 2024?

The simple answer to the increasing demand for sheet metal coffee roasting machines, like the Taiwa example of a complex sheet metal coffee roaster pictured above, is that globally people are becoming more and more interested in drinking high quality coffee. Coffee culture is an international phenomenon that has seen people become less satisfied with low quality coffee, including instant coffee and coffee made from high-caffeine robusta beans.

Discerning coffee drinkers today are looking for specialty coffee, from single estates and blends, using high quality Arabica beans with more flavor and less caffeine. Coffee drinkers today want more individual control over roasting and grinding coffee to get the best possible flavors to suit their personal taste.

Coffee roasters are a logical purchase for discerning coffee drinkers

We have seen an increase in domestic use of coffee machines as well as coffee grinders. There has been a steady trend for coffee drinkers to start with a home espresso machine, using shop bought pre-ground coffee, which leads to purchasing a grinder to enable purchase of high quality pre-roasted beans for grinding to personal taste for specific espresso and brewing choices.

The next stage in progress from coffee drinker to coffee aficionado is to roast the coffee beans at home as well. Perhaps where the climate is appropriate we will also see people growing more of their own coffee for private consumption, but at least for the moment the current trend seems to be towards owning your own coffee roasting machine to add another level to controlling the coffee drinking experience.

Can you roast coffee without a coffee roasting machine?

You can roast coffee without a coffee roasting machine designed for the purpose, but the results are hard to control, and the process is smoky, and potentially hazardous. This is a problem when using popcorn machines, which sometimes catch on fire! Coffee roasting is a technical process, and you get better results with a coffee roasting machine, but people often try pan or oven methods before investing in a machine.

Coffee roasters give you more control for better results

At a commercial level, the use of better coffee roasting machines can increase quality and demand for a better quality of coffee, so it is not surprising that people also want high quality coffee roasters for domestic use. Small scale drum coffee roasters enable easy control of the roasting process and offer significant benefits for both small coffee shops and personal use.

What is the best type of coffee roasting machine?

Coffee roasters that use a rotating drum to keep the coffee agitated are the most common design for home and commercial use. You can also agitate the coffee with an air blower, which is useful for helping to remove the skins from the coffee beans as they roast, but this is not essential if you have a drum coffee roaster, as the tumbling of beans in the roaster also removes the skins.

How do you design a coffee roasting machine?

At Taiwa we have more than 20 years of experience bringing customer designs to fruition as attractive, stylish, desirable products. This includes extensive work on designing and manufacturing sheet metal coffee roasting machines for our customers, and to showcase our sheet metal manufacturing and assembly capabilities.

For your coffee roaster project, you don’t need to be an expert in coffee roasting or sheet metal design to work with us to manufacture an attractive, efficient coffee roasting machine. We will help you every step of the way to refine, optimize and perfect your design to get the best results possible.

Is it difficult to manufacture a sheet metal coffee roaster?

We have successfully manufactured both manual and automatic sheet metal coffee roasters. The learning curve with any technical product is steep if you do not have prior experience or knowledge of coffee roaster design and manufacturing processes. Fortunately we have the expertise in both to make this much easier!

Our Taiwan sheet metal fabrication and assembly lines are fully equipped with the latest Japanese CNC sheet metal fabrication technology, including AMADA laser cutting and punching combination machines and CNC bending machines. These enable extremely precise and predictable forming of even the most complex shapes.

We have an extensive library of forms and jigs used for bending and shaping. This means we have the tooling in-house to create almost any shape without the need to manufacture new, expensive tooling for your project.

Consumers want high quality standards for coffee machines

People like to put their coffee culture on display in their home. A love of good coffee often comes with a strong sense of aesthetics and a desire to make the kitchen an attractive place to prepare food and make coffee. Coffee machines, grinders, and roasters all need to be pleasing to look at, and easy to integrate into the existing design and feel of any kitchen or commercial coffee shop.

High quality standards come from attention to details in design and manufacturing. Everything must fit well together for it to become a visually appealing and complete unit that enhances the coffee drinking experience. Poorly fitting joints, sharp edges, and irregular finishes have a very high impact on customer assessments of quality and value, regardless of how good your roaster is at making excellent coffee!

At Taiwa we apply the highest quality standards at all stages of design and manufacturing to ensure that every Taiwa sheet metal product achieves the desired design aesthetic to make it attractive to the intended audience. Coffee roasters are no exception!
