Short answer: No. We will provide basic recipes for different varieties of coffee that can be run automatically. And you will also gain access to a growing database of recipes and profiles from other users for specific beans — ones that are identical or similar to those you purchase.

Long answer: On the AiO you can accomplish something far more meaningful than pushing a button and stepping away. While the ‘set-it-and-forget-it’ approach is convenient and perhaps necessary at first, if you really want to add your own personal touch to your coffee, you should take the opportunity to learn the basics and grow with the machine. After all, isn’t the ultimate goal to differentiate your shop from others? 

It really won’t be as difficult as you think. Although the roasting process has long been shrouded in mystery — comprehensible only to those select few professional ‘wizards’ — technology is changing the nature of coffee roasting very quickly. A quick crash course can do wonders when paired with accurate data, and we’re confident YOU can be roasting YOUR OWN coffee, perfectly matched to the specific tastes of the customers in YOUR region, country, town, and neighborhood.

Absolutely! You can roast manually on the AiO, or take manual control of an automatic playback at any time.

You are encouraged to buy whatever coffee you want, from wherever you wish. You will not be locked into any curated marketplaces. Be free. Be yourself.

A roast profile is a visual representation of the data collected during a specific roast, including the bean temperature change over time and any power, fan, and drum speed adjustments made during the roast. It provides a snapshot into what happened to the beans during a particular roast, and it can be useful to analyze roast profiles to learn from your successes — as well as your mistakes.

Roast profiles can also be automatically run. In Playback mode, all the adjustments you made during the roast — from setting the preheat temperature to changing the power and fan settings — will be duplicated according to time. So, for example, if you changed the power setting from P8 to P7 at the three minute mark of the roast, the same change will be made automatically at the three minute mark of the playback.

A roast recipe is a set of if-then instructions to guide a particular roast. In this way it is similar to a roast profile playback, but it can do much more. You can trigger new events according to specific milestones during the roast — these can be time-based like Playback mode, but also temperature based. For example, you can trigger a change from P8 to P7 when the bean temperature (as measured by the IBTS or a traditional bean probe) reaches 120°C. 

Roast recipes form the backbone of automatic playback on the AiO.

Induction is a means of generating heat by exploiting some basic properties of electromagnetism. You can view a short video about how we use it generate heat within the drum of the Bullet R1 here.

You can also read about the development of the Bullet R1 V2 induction module in more detail here.

For the AiO, we have built upon what we learned on the Bullet, producing an induction system that is even more powerful and efficient than what we designed before. 

Because heat is generated within the drum itself, induction heating is incredibly responsive compared to traditional electric roasters, lending it a feel more akin to gas. But induction is also incredibly efficient and requires no burning gas, reducing the AiO’s carbon footprint to the bare minimum when powered from renewable energy sources.

In the simplest terms, everything you see is radiating heat in the form of infrared light that you can’t see. But by measuring this light with a sensor, we are able to determine the temperature of a thing instantaneously, without ever needing to contact that thing.

This is very different from how a traditional bean probe works. A probe is inserted into the mass of beans. As the beans heat up, so does the temperature of the probe, but the actual temperature of the beans will always be ahead of the probe, and the amount of beans you put in the drum at a time makes a big difference in the amount of ‘lag’ between the temperature of the probe and the actual temperature of the beans.

In other words, a reading from a traditional probe can tell you how hot that probe is at a given moment in time, and its readings will necessarily be affected by its placement within the machine and the amount of beans you are roasting. This lack of consistency makes working with traditional probes a hassle.

You can read more about the development of our original IBTS — and what makes it superior to traditional probes — here.

When roasting in automatic mode, the user only needs to interact with the machine twice — once to load the beans, and once to bag them when the roast is finished. 

After loading the beans into the funnel, the AiO will automatically preheat itself to the temperature specified in the Roast Recipe. Then the beans will be dropped into the roasting drum via a pneumatic (pressurized air) mechanism. 

The AiO will then follow the Roast Recipe exactly, and when the roast is finished and the beans are at the desired temperature, they will be dropped into the cooling drum, again via pneumatics.

Once they have cooled in the cooling drum, they will be ejected from the front of the roaster, ready to be bagged.

These automated roasts are made possible by the two key technologies discussed above — induction and IBTS. One provides precise power application, the other provides precise bean temperature measurements.

Probably not. It’s not designed with you in mind. Home roasters should consider purchasing our other roaster, the Bullet R1. But… we aren’t gonna argue with you.

It’s designed to fit on a kitchen table. Not including the funnel, or any bean capture tray you may desire, its dimensions are L 60cm W 33cm H 65cm. 

Any standard 200-247V line will be okay.

We are developing an optional smoke cleaning system, but as it is still in development, we cannot say exactly what sort of venting requirements may be necessary — or even if a vent will be necessary at all.

If this is a deal breaker for you, consider waiting until we update this page.

We are still working on the AiO’s design, and so there is no hard ETA for when it will be available. But before we release it for general purchase, we will be hand-picking customers for the first batch of machines, as we want to ensure we get good feedback.

We are now looking at sometime in 2022. We’ll keep you updated.

For now, the price starts from 15,900 for the base model, and this is what we plan to release first. But in the future, we also plan to offer additional modules for the AiO, so it will depend on what features you purchase — for example, smoke cleaning.

Early-adopters will also be able to purchase additional modules separately as they become available.

Yes, eventually we plan to make it possible to lease the AiO. We are considering a 12 month lease with a 30% down payment.

At the moment, you cannot pre-order the AiO. But you can subscribe to our newsletter, where we will be offering the chance to become an early adopter soon.
