Welcome to the Mill City Roasters RU-vid page. If you are looking to improve your roasting skills, learn some tips and tricks to get to tastier coffee, and laugh while doing so, you're in the right place. We have been hard at work developing content that is meaningful for coffee roasters. This is free information and applicable to almost all commercial production roasting equipment. We are so glad that you are investing the time in watching our videos in order to develop your skills and aptitude. Thank you for stopping by!
Remember, if seeing us in videos isn't enough, the people you see here are the people you will see teaching our classes live in Minneapolis and around the world. Come and see them in person and learn from them during our extremely popular roasting, tasting, and brewing classes. We would love to extend our midwestern hospitality to you.
I have got 6 kg Mill City Roaster machine from someone. I’ve seen he has to use a grease to lubricate the drum like every hour when he was roasting coffee and I think this is what the information I’m looking for. I think the gap is too close in my case. Thank you for your video.
Ya’ll have helped me so much with these videos you don’t even know. 🙏 If I’m getting some off flavor with my batch brew water, how do you clean the internal water reservoir? Is running some urnex cleaner through the machine okay? The manufacturer’s manual is no help here. Thank you!
Dude that impeller is a nightmare to remove. I've soaked in penetrating oil, heat up, beat on it, used every gear puller i can get my hands on. Ive experienced similar with aluminum wheels seizing on steel rotors. Is there anything you guys can do on initial assembly to prevent this? Or engineer a way to push it off with a bilt in the backside? Ive finally given up in getting it a part and i have a fairly extensive work shop and work on cars for a hobby. Its not my first rodeo. @millcityroasters
Apparently the decaffeination process not only removes caffeine, but also - a compound responsible for SURFACE TENSION, which allows your creamer to float on the surface of the drink. WHICH decaffeination process preserves this compound?
Are you thinking cream or powdered creamer? We've literally never used powdered creamer, but cream and whole milk emulsify readily in all of our decaf coffees.
I use a 1kg size particle dispenser for our small roasting business, and I agree, - dispensers are, well, indispensable! Ours has significantly sped up our process. Our quality checks every several bags are all consistent. Your grinder setup looks great, and I had not seen the style of sealing machine you're using. Thanks for the show and tell, it's very helpful!
I can't thank you enough. I'm a home roaster and caffeine makes my blood pressure spike. Since I started drinking decaf in no longer like the feeling of being caffeinated but I still love coffee. Your videos are very helpful.
Not very. Look at the roast profile in the description. He got pretty close to second crack in about 3 minutes of post first crack development time and finished in less than 12 minutes. All of our roasters have a lot of power on tap.
Too many variables to provide a real answer. Register for class and we'll teach you how to figure it out for any coffee on any roaster for any batch size.
The statement you made during the light and medium roasts about preferring the roasted beans to have a more swollen appearance and less dark lines (sometimes referred to as wrinkles) would indicate a more roasted inner part of the bean, was a very thought-provoking statement. It made perfect sense.
Probably not. The cooling exhaust is not hot like the roaster exhaust. Plus, in the intervening years, we've made some changes that are likely to eliminate the need to service the motor bearings.
Nice roaster, would love one of those in my shop. a little out of reach now ,but oh yes, it will be mine . thinking, roasting coffee is ALL heading in that direction, using cleaner energy. I am looking forward to seeing what my Coffee Crafter 3-e will do with my solar array. Wish it was a Mill City electric roaster. Someday. I have a 500 gram Mill City since 2017 ,that I cant say enough about, my little work horse. Dollar for dollar , one of the best out there..
Thats a big fan for a relatively small roaster and we typically use no more than 1/3 the capacity. Is there some reason you think you should be running higher airflow?
Wish y'all had a video on how to adjust the digital controls on the panel. For instance my digital readout for gas pressure and the mechanical dial are way different.
