MINNEAPOLIS, MNMill City Roasters is proud to announce the launch of the M-Series, a new line of automation-ready commercial coffee roasters engineered for the highest levels of precision and durability.

Now available in 6kg, 10kg, and 20kg capacities, the M-Series represents a landmark achievement in specialty coffee technology but also a significant case-study on overcoming the challenge of on-shoring manufacturing in today’s economic and political climate.

The M-Series is the culmination of a five-year development cycle aimed at bridging the gap between artisanal roasting and modern automation. Every machine is engineered and built within Mill City’s state-of-the-art, 40,000-square-foot, solar-powered facility in Northeast Minneapolis.

ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION

  • The M-Series introduces several industry-leading features designed to provide roasters with unparalleled control and consistency:
  • Monolithic Chassis and Advanced Drums: A fully insulated, monolithic plate steel chassis ensures thermal stability, while shaftless, double-walled drums provide superior heat transfer and bean agitation.
  • Next-Gen HMI with Haptic Control: The series debuts the RoastPATH touchscreen interface, featuring a custom-programmed haptic feedback jog wheel for intuitive, tactile precision over roast parameters.
  • Acoustic-Optimized Environment: Custom-engineered silent exhaust fans reduce ambient noise, improving the roasting environment without sacrificing cooling power.
  • Future-Proof Technology: All M-Series roasters are equipped for remote firmware upgrades and a comprehensive remote diagnostics suite, allowing for proactive maintenance and the seamless addition of new features.

INDEPENDENT U.S. MANUFACTURING

The launch of the M-Series marks Mill City’s strategic move to bring its core manufacturing ecosystem entirely in-house. After investing in heavy machinery, specialized tooling, and assembling a craft-focused fabrication team, the company now fabricates over 400 unique components per roaster within its Minneapolis headquarters.

“If your coffee is a labor of love, your roaster should reflect an equivalent commitment to excellence,” says
Steve Green, CEO of Mill City Roasters. “The M-Series stands as the most refined, highest-performing roasting system we can build. It is the realization of our dual expertise in specialty coffee and precision manufacturing.”

Mill City’s vertical integration utilizes advanced technologies including 6000-watt fiber lasers for sub-millimeter precision, 2000-watt laser welding systems, and high-precision CNC machining to ensure every unit meets rigorous quality standards.
