The X series is packed with features designed to simplify sample roasting, enhance automation, and ensure consistency.
Thanks to the innovative IKAWA Humidity Sensor, it also introduces two industry-firsts: Moisture Release Graph—a groundbreaking tool that maps when and how quickly moisture escapes from coffee during roasting, and Automatic First Crack Detection using the humidity data gathered during roasting time.
Powering our X Series, the IKAWA Humidity Sensor, generates the data needed to pinpoint the Peak Rate of Moisture Release, which aligns with the audible first crack in almost every case.
This method is a groundbreaking tool that maps when and how quickly moisture escapes from coffee during roasting.
If the roaster can detect 1st crack, why not let it end the roast for you? Target Development Mode uses adaptive profiles to finish your roast at your desired development time or ratio (within limits).
Set your desired finish time, for example, 60 seconds after 1st crack, on our X models, and the roaster will handle the rest—even if it extends beyond the original profile.
The IKAWA Moisture Release Graph offers a detailed view of when and how quickly moisture escapes from the beans during roasting. This serves as a valuable guide for production roasters when working with a new coffee for the first time.
Many companies, such as Square Mile Coffee, Bluebird Coffee Roastery, A Matter of Concrete, and Momos Coffee, use the Moisture Release Graph to better inform production and reduce the number of test roasts.
