Why Green Coffee Co. (Kaohsiung) Chose Rubasse: Flawless Profile Reproduction
Unlike traditional roasters who roast in bulk and sell over time, our business model centers on contract roasting and on-demand production. We focus on small batches, many varieties, meaning we frequently roast the exact same green coffee multiple times a day. Because of this, consistency and precise profile reproduction are absolute critical for us.
In the past, onboarding new roasting staff was an exhausting drain on our energy. Getting everyone to replicate the exact same profiles was tough; every roaster has their own ideas, which often led to flavor drift—same beans, but completely different taste profiles.
Rubasse’s automation and auto roast mechanism changed everything. It allows us to lock in and save our absolute best roast profiles (if a batch isn’t perfect, we simply don’t save it). The machine then perfectly replicates those exact parameters batch after batch. Even better, we can manually intervene mid-roast to explore better paths and stack improvements onto our recipes. This has completely transformed how we manage flavor control and staff training. We no longer have to baby the machine or obsessively watch every batch, which frees up our energy and allows us to multitask seamlessly during production runs.
The Problems Rubasse Solved for Us
- Eliminating Human Error: Automated profile reproduction solved our staffing bottlenecks. It dramatically shortened our training curve while drastically boosting batch-to-batch consistency.
- Data-Driven Precision: Moving away from gas to an electric heating system allowed us to fully digitize our heat power controls. Electricity provides a much cleaner heat source with zero added moisture from combustion, and all critical data is displayed in real time on an incredibly intuitive touchscreen panel.
Why We Highly Recommend Rubasse
We were so impressed that we added another Rubasse to our lineup in 2019. This newer model surpassed our first in both stability and design. The standouts for us are:
- ⚡ Near-Zero Preheat Time: The auto preheat takes less than 5 minutes to reach a perfectly balanced, heat-soaked state. It saves us an immense amount of prep time. Plus, unlike traditional machines, there’s zero risk of ruining that crucial first batch of the day due to thermal instability or off-flavors.
- ⏱️ Maximized Throughput: The between-batch time has been drastically shortened, keeping our workflow fast and efficient.
- 📊 Comprehensive Data Logging: Every single parameter—including drum temperature, air temperature, air pressure, rate of rise (RoR), and humidity—is automatically logged by the profile recording system, making our environmental baselines incredibly stable and easy to replicate.
The machine is packed with thoughtful engineering—from effortless profile sorting and lightning-fast cooling to an advanced touchscreen interface. It strikes the perfect balance between professional playability, convenience, and absolute control. Honestly, once you’ve experienced a progressive coffee roaster like this, going back to a traditional user interface where you have to manually track and calculate data post-roast is nearly impossible. If you are looking to break into the professional roasting industry, this is the machine you want.
