The TP-BRO1 Compact Coffee Roaster 1KG is a gas-fired roasting machine that processes 1 kg of green coffee per batch, producing 9-12 kg per hour with a roast time of 15-20 minutes per batch. Model TP-BRO1 is the entry point of the roaster range, bringing the same air-cushion drum design and purpose-built gas burner system found in larger models down to a compact size suited to cafés, sample roasting and small-scale production.
What Is the TP-BRO1 Compact Coffee Roaster 1KG?
The TP-BRO1 is a 1 kg-class compact coffee roaster designed for specialty cafés, roastery start-ups, coffee shops that roast in-house, and quality control teams doing sample roasts before scaling up to larger batches. It uses a heat-resistant drum, a hybrid direct/indirect heating method, and a fast cooling system, in a compact steel frame with an easy-to-operate control cabinet.

Key Features of the TP-BRO1 Coffee Roaster
1. Air-Cushion Roasting Drum
The air-cushion drum promotes even heat transfer around the beans, even at 1 kg batch size. Combined with a specially designed agitator-blade system, it minimizes scorching and tipping, producing roasted beans with a bright, glossy finish. The drum is made from high heat-resistant material to extend service life and is available in single-layer or double-layer heating.
2. Purpose-Built Gas Burner System
The burner system is engineered specifically for coffee roasting, so roasters can shape aroma development, acidity, bitterness and aftertaste — precision that matters most at sample-roast scale. It also keeps gases generated during roasting, such as NOx and COx, and other impurities to a minimum.
Burner highlights:
- Imported burners from Taiwan, Italy, Europe and South Korea for high durability
- Complete gas combustion with no residual gas smell
- Fast aroma development during roasting
- Gas-saving hybrid heating (50% direct, 50% indirect)
3. Fast, Effective Cooling
The stainless steel 304 cooling tray and cooling fan cool beans quickly after roasting to prevent carry-over roasting inside the bean. The system also collects chaff and smoke and vents them out of the roasting room. The tray is driven by a three-phase LiMing gear motor, and the cooling fan is from Trantechno.
4. Easy Operation and Precise Temperature Control
Sensors and a temperature control system are built in, and the compact control cabinet sits beside the machine body. Temperature sensors inside the drum give real-time readings, making the TP-BRO1 well suited to dialing in and repeating roast profiles.
5. Quality Branded Components
- Toshiba drum gear motor
- Trantechno heat and cooling fans (Italy)
- LiMing cooling-tray motor
- LS magnetic contactors
- Idec power switch, push buttons, relays and emergency stop
- Hanyong temperature controller and Omron timer
- Taiwanese ignition unit and gas control valve
- Thanh Dat electrical wiring, with power cable included
6. Stainless Steel Hopper
The round, cone-shaped stainless steel hopper holds one full batch of green coffee for smooth, hygienic loading.
Operating Costs: Gas and Electricity
The TP-BRO1 uses about 3-3.5 kg of gas per 100 kg of green coffee (at 10-12% moisture) and roughly 1 kW of electricity per hour, making it an economical entry point for roasting on-site.
Who Should Choose the TP-BRO1?
- Specialty cafés and coffee shops roasting in-house
- Roastery start-ups testing the market before scaling up
- Quality control and R&D teams doing sample roasts
- Coffee trainers and educators running roasting classes
- Small producers who want full control over small, frequent batches
