At the top of our line of roasters the MCR-30 and MC-60 model coffee roasters have set a new industry standard for roast quality at scale.
The MCR-30 is a massively overbuilt specialty coffee production platform capable of maintaining the most delicate flavor profiles at a production volume previously undreamed of.
The MCR-30 is built on a gigantic double walled and fully insulated monolithic weldment chassis specifically calculated for maximum stability, fuel efficiency and pinpoint roast control. Similar to our other models the roaster is equipped with dedicated high pressure centrifugal blower roaster exhaust and cooling tray fans that allow for simultaneous roasting and cooling. It is fully RoastPATH Automation capable. Because of the large size of the machine and the height of the charging hopper, we include a high performance “rapid fill” pneumatic coffee loader with programmable integrated scale with every roaster.. This system allows a single operator to easily exceed over 1700 lbs of the highest quality finished coffee per day.
The all-digital control system integrates seamlessly with RoastPATH®, including the highly requested Roast Replay feature. During the roast, RoatsPATH® automatically logs BT, ET, IT and DT temperature readings, as well as fuel setting changes, and fan, fuel and drum speed adjustments. Direct drum pressure is also logged as a feedback loop for operator controlled roast airflow changes.
Total control over your fuel, fan and drum speed allows you remarkable flexibility in your batch size. You can easily scale your batch size up or down without sacrificing quality to focus on a special green or small project.
This model includes the Operator Assist System which automatically recovers to production charge temperature settings, starts timers, and triggers the cooling tray fan and stirring arms off/on at discharge from the drum or cooling tray. It can be configured to automatically charge the drum and discharge into the cooling tray upon the conclusion of the roast. This system also incorporates position sensors that make it nearly impossible to accidentally discharge green coffee from the drum into a cooling tray filled with roasted coffee.
The high capacity chaff collector fully disassembles for easy cleaning and include an emergency water quench protection valve to recover quickly and safely in the event of an unexpected chaff fire.
High capacity cooling trays and stirring arms are designed to hold 3 full batches for post-roast blending. The enormous high performance cooling fan cools 2nd crack roasts within 4 minutes.

Customer Reviews
This is our second Mill City Roaster. We started with a 3 kg; then we upgraded to the 30 kg. Surprisingly, the 30kg machine is just as easy to control as the smaller roasters. It requires high pressure gas and industrial power, and it is well built. We chose Mill City because they provide more advanced features per dollar over other roasters. The variable speed controllers for drum speed and airflow, along with the gas control valve, makes it easy to control all parameters of the roasting profile. The industrial grade PLC provides automation of the between batch protocol and assistance with functions such as charging and discharging into the cooling tray. Roast replay has been a great tool to maintain consistency and improve efficiency. Loading and destoning 30kg of beans takes a little time. With roast replay, you can continue to roast while destoning and prepping the next batch of greens. You don't have to worry about missing a fuel or gas adjustment, you can simply monitor the trends on Roast Path and intervene if needed. And finally, the Mill City support team is amazing! Any time you have a question, they pick up the phone and are able to help. They really understand their machines and are truly craft roasters themselves. They can help you with machinery and your roasting.
