How to roast coffee for the first time

This page explains the basic roasting method using the Kaffelogic Nano 7 in an easy-to-understand manner, even for beginners. The operation is very simple. First, try roasting once using the officially recommended method.


Before you start roasting

  • Please install it in a place with good ventilation (near a window, under a ventilation fan, etc.).
  • Please ensure there is sufficient space around and above the unit.
  • Connect the power supply directly to the outlet without using an extension cord


STEP 1 | Weigh the green beans

For your first roast, we recommend 120g of green beans. If there are too many beans, they may not rotate properly and may cause errors.

STEP 2 | Add beans and set the chaff collector

Place the green beans in the roaster and securely place the chaff collector on top. Make sure the lid is properly attached.


STEP 3 | Turn on the power

Turn on the power using the switch at the bottom of the unit. For your first roast, we recommend Kaffelogic's standard " KL Classic ."
This is a great all-around profile for your first drink. For more information on the profile and flavor of KL Classic, click here.

STEP 4 | Start roasting

▶ Press the button to start roasting. The roasting process is automatic, but for safety reasons, do not leave the roaster unattended during roasting.


During roasting

Kaffelogic automatically controls the temperature, time, and airflow, so all you need to do is keep an eye on it.


After roasting | Cooling and removing beans

Once roasting is complete, the machine will automatically cool down. Once it has cooled down completely, remove the chaff collector and remove the roasted beans. Check to make sure there are no beans left in the roasting chamber and shake gently if necessary.


Enjoy freshly roasted coffee

Freshly roasted beans contain a lot of gas, so if you plan to enjoy them as drip coffee or espresso, we recommend letting them rest for a day or two.


Take the next step

  • Change the level to enjoy the difference in taste between light and dark roasts
  • Try a different profile
  • View roast logs in Kaffelogic Studio

There is no "right" way to roast coffee, so we encourage you to find the flavor that best suits your taste.
