1. Why Roast with NIR Radiation?
 







 



Direct & Penetrative Roasting


Using radiation to roast coffee saves you time, energy, and worries about underdeveloping your coffees.

Directly applying penetrative radiant energy onto the beans, radiant heat develops the coffee quicker & more evenly comparing to traditional (convective + conductive) roasting.


 


 

Radiation ≫ Convection


Radiant heat is evenly absorbed by the total mass of a coffee bean.

Convective heat (hot air) is mainly & firstly absorbed by the outer surface of a coffee bean.  The heat needs time to penetrate deeper.


Roasting with radiation means:

● Faster roast development (especially as the beans get darker)
● Less uneven and/or prolonged "baked" roasts.


 



Powerful Roasting


Gone are the days of slow and sluggish electric coffee roasters.

Near Infrared Radiation (NIR) roasting machines can achieve roasting durations similar to (or faster than) gas-burning roasters while only needing less than half of the total energy consumption.


 

 


" ...This results in approximately 50% less energy consumption due to the effective heat method. "

>50% Roast Energy Savings


Switching the primary roasting energy source from hot air to radiation benefits roasters with tremendous energy savings.

Our center-placed radiation power element ensured maximum radiant heat utilization, resulting in the world's most energy efficient roasting process (proven by the 3rd party research in the Appendix section below).


 



Cool & Comfortable Roasting Environment


Improving roast energy efficiency by roasting with radiation also means less waste heat being released in to the roasting environment.

The benefits: 

● Comfortable, cool roasting sessions
● Way less money spent on air conditioning

Auto-Pilot
Roast Profile Replication


 

Smart automation + Precise replication = Minimal work, optimal results


 



Auto Preheat


The Auto-Pilot system automatically idles the bean temperature at your charge temperature.

Power output and airflow setting are controlled by the system to ensure stable initial energy at the start of the roast.


 



Auto Roasting
Rubasse Back-tracking Algorithm


Specialized algorithm takes full control over radiation heat & airflow settings, corrects temperature deviations swiftly, and replicates your unique profile with precision both on the graph & in the cup.

 



Auto Roasting
Differential Pressure Profiling


Rubasse's "Pressure Compensation" feature mitigates possible effects on the roast caused by air pressure issues such as clogged ducts over time or weather/ambient changes...etc. 

 











 


3. Digital Roast Data Collection
 







 


 

Full Knowledge of Your Roasts


Fully digitalized roast control & roast data sensors enable users to roast with precision & insight.


Roast data includes :

Bean temperature
Bean temperature rate of rise (RoR)
Exhaust air temperature
Drum surface temperature
Differential pressure
Exhaust Moisture*


 


 

Meticulous in Data Consistency


Low quality data sometimes is worse than no data.

To obtain truly informative insights, we make sure that our roast data collection is flawless from an engineering perspective - starting from making & hand-tuning each & every temperature sensing probe!


 




Exhaust Moisture Meter
A New Perspective


 

" Actually seeing how the coffee release moisture during roasting really elevates a roaster's understanding about the roasting process. "


— William Cheng, Founder of Rubasse
 



1st Crack Navigator


● More reliable way to mark 1st crack
● Perfect post-crack heat application
● Avoid the "Crash & Flick" with ease

The above are some of the highlighted benefits roasters gain after including our exhaust moisture data into their roastings. 

 



Visualize How Coffees "Roasts Differently"


You can now see possible reasons behind common sayings such as "Kenyan coffees like to crash" or "Naturals tend to fly-off near the end of roasting"...etc.

The exhaust moisture curve gives you previously inaccessible, crucial information when designing roasting heat profiles for individual coffees.

What Our Users Say

 
 
 

I have tried some traditional roasters, but with the Rubasse, I discovered unexplored flavor notes in my Indian coffee beans that I have never found with other roasters.  It's quite surprising how the Rubasse can reveal new notes & aromas.

The roaster is very responsive with a high level of control allowing you to easily roast your coffee in the way you want, then after you have created your ideal profile you are able to replicate the roast knowing that it will keep repeating your roast with a high level of consistency.
