Name: Neuhaus Neotec - Gourmet Hot-Air Roaster
Brand: Neuhaus Neotec

Question 1

How many kg per hour does the Neuhaus Neotec Gourmet roast?

Accepted Answer

The Gourmet series spans six models from 1,000 to 4,500 kg per hour. See the Available variations table for each model's batch size and roasting capacity.

Question 2

What batch size does the Gourmet handle?

Accepted Answer

Batch sizes run from 35 up to 550 kg depending on the model, and stay flexible from 30% to 110% of batch size. The Available variations table lists the batch size for each Gourmet model.

Question 3

What roasting technology does the Gourmet use?

Accepted Answer

The Gourmet range uses Neuhaus Neotec's RFB hot-air (fluidised-bed) technology with a closed gas circuit and recirculated hot air, giving gentle, uniform roasting with strong energy efficiency. For buyers, the practical result is controlled heat transfer, repeatable profiles and a process that can be matched to the required flavour target.

Question 4

Gourmet vs Maestro — which Neuhaus Neotec roaster should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Choose the Gourmet for RFB hot-air roasting—fast, uniform and energy-efficient, managed from a central control room. The Maestro is a drum roaster. Both are simply different roasting processes and can produce the full range of flavour profiles. The right choice depends on your capacity, workflow and control preferences. Both are Neuhaus Neotec, engineered in Germany.

Question 5

How is the Gourmet controlled?

Accepted Answer

Operators manage the Gourmet from a dedicated control room with recipe automation, and it interfaces with CROPSTER and ARTISAN for analytics. Recipe storage and clear operator controls reduce manual intervention and make repeatable production easier across shifts.

Question 6

Which Gourmet model suits my volume?

Accepted Answer

The range spans 1,000 to 4,500 kg/h across six models, so you can match capacity to your roastery. Selection should be based on required hourly output, typical batch size and the number of product changes expected per shift.

Question 7

Is the Gourmet energy-efficient?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Neuhaus Neotec Gourmet Hot-Air Roaster's closed roasting gas circuit recirculates hot air rather than exhausting it after each pass, which significantly reduces fuel consumption per kilogram of roasted coffee. The direct in-layer temperature measurement in the RFB process allows precise, fast adjustments that prevent over-heating and wasted energy. Optional green-coffee preheating can further cut energy use and increase effective throughput by 15–20%. For high-volume roasteries in the Middle East and South Asia operating continuously, the gas savings over a 10-year service life are substantial.

Question 8

Does the Gourmet work with roasting software?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Neuhaus Neotec Gourmet Hot-Air Roaster connects to CROPSTER and ARTISAN, the two industry-standard roasting analytics and recipe management platforms. The integration allows roastmasters to log roast curves, replay saved profiles automatically, and monitor batch-to-batch colour and moisture consistency without manual record-keeping. For multi-roaster or multi-site operations, centrally managed roasting recipes and quality logs reduce training time and ensure consistent output regardless of which operator or shift is running the machine.

Question 9

How flexible is the Gourmet batch size?

Accepted Answer

The Neuhaus Neotec Gourmet Hot-Air Roaster handles batches from 30% to 110% of its nominal batch size — 35–550 kg depending on the selected model. This means it performs efficiently on partial loads as well as full batches, which is valuable for roasteries that produce multiple SKUs or run smaller specialty lots alongside their main production blends. The flexible loading range also gives operators headroom during ramp-up periods or seasonal demand spikes, without needing a second, smaller machine.

Question 10

Is the Gourmet made in Germany?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Neuhaus Neotec Gourmet Hot-Air Roaster is engineered and manufactured by Neuhaus Neotec at their facilities in Germany, where the company has been building industrial roasting systems for over 60 years. German-origin machinery brings consistent build quality, long service life and access to Neuhaus Neotec's complete network of factory-trained service engineers and original spare parts. For buyers in the Middle East and India, this also means EU-standard electrical and safety certification as standard, simplifying compliance and integration into existing production environments.
