Loring Lab Roaster 1.5kg

Our lab roaster may be small, but it’s something special. This 1.5 kg Loring is a rare little machine only three or four of these exist worldwide. Built with the same innovative design and efficiency Loring is known for, it’s the perfect introduction to the Loring roasting style, delivering precision, consistency, and a clean, focused cup at a small scale. Ideal for experimentation, learning, and dialing in profiles, this roaster offers a unique hands-on experience you won’t find in many other places.
