Built in
Germany in 1951, “Rosie the Roaster” is an Ideal Rapid Gothot
Roaster. With a 22-kilo capacity, Rosie is truly a small-batch roaster.
She is gas-fired and designed to indirectly heat the coffee beans. Mixing
paddles in the rotating drum keep the beans roasting evenly. She is
manually operated, allowing our roastmaster to make fine adjustments
to the temperature 
and air-flow in order to tailor each roast to the
coffee variety.
Our roastmaster (and one of the company’s founders) has been roasting coffee since 1987 and has never encountered a more elegant, responsive and reliable machine. Rosie stands apart from the world of mass-produced, pre-programmed computerized roasters, by allowing not only the science but the traditional art of roasting to flourish.
