A ceramic coffee roaster, made in Japan
Fresh coffee, roasted by hand for just a few cups.
Zenroast is inspired by the traditional Japanese hōroku, an everyday ceramic tool once used to roast tea leaves, sesame seeds and grains.
We rediscovered its simple functionality and reshaped it for coffee: minimal, tactile and free from machinery. A small tool that brings roasting back into the kitchen.
Zenroast uses heat-resistant ceramic to surround beans with gentle, even, far-infrared heat for better roasting.
Stores heat and releases it gradually for stable, consistent roasting.
Surrounds beans with gentle, even radiant heat.
Beans move freely for even roasting and consistent development.
Helps remove chaff and pour out beans smoothly.
Roasting takes about 10 minutes, depending on the roast level you prefer. You can see the process in this 3-minute film.
Roast only the amount you need. The aroma, sound and warmth become part of making coffee, not something that happened weeks before.
Every bean and every roast is different. Learn by hand, adjust by instinct, and find the flavor that belongs to you.
No large machine, computer or electricity. Just green beans, a heat source and a few attentive minutes.
The gently rounded body keeps the beans moving. Its hollow handle lets you blow away chaff during roasting, then pour the finished beans cleanly into a bowl.
Handcrafted in a traditional Japanese kiln from highly heat-resistant ceramic. It can be used on a gas stove, over an open flame or on an electric stove.
Do not use it on an induction cooktop or in a microwave oven.
A substantial leather cover protects your hand and softens with use. Choose the stitching in blue, mustard, red, green or brown.
John @ CA United StatesIt is such an amazing feeling to know that I can always have freshly roasted coffee every day. I never have to worry about my coffee beans going stale. It is seriously life-changing.
