Toper Cafemino 1kg Coffee Roaster: Specs & Features

If you’re setting up a new café or test-roasting small batches of single origins, you need a roaster that’s compact but still capable of controlled, repeatable results. Most home roasters max out at 500g, and commercial machines jump way too big. So where does that leave the specialty coffee shop just getting started?

The Toper Cafemino 1kg TKM-SX is built for small-scale commercial roasting—handling between 50g and 1kg of green coffee per batch, with production speeds of up to 6kg/hour for light roasts or 4kg/hour for dark roasts.

What Is the Toper Cafemino 1kg?

The Cafemino 1kg is a compact, semi-hot-air (semi-direct flame) coffee roaster from Toper, designed for small commercial setups like independent cafés or specialty roasting labs. Despite its smaller size, it includes many features found on larger production machines. It’s built to roast anywhere from 50 grams up to a full kilogram of green coffee in a single batch, making it ideal for experimenting with blends, single origins, or limited-edition profiles without committing to a full-scale roasting line.
