Valenta 18 - FAQ
How much can the Valenta 18 roast?
This roaster can do as little as 2lbs and up to 18 lbs. at a time. You can roast up to 108 lbs. of green coffee per hour when doing full batches.
Is the Valenta 18 automated?
Some parts of the roaster have the option to be automated by using the Hermetheus Co-Pilot. This device allows you to connect the roaster to your computer where you can use Artisan Scope roast profiling software to tell the roaster what profile you want to roast and the device will change the heat setting on the roaster to follow the roast curve you set for it. All you would need to do is load the beans, set the loft, click GO on your computer, and the roaster will take care of the rest until it’s time to dump the beans into the bean cooler.
Do I need to vent the roaster to the outside?
Yes, you will need to vent the smoke outside. Most people do this by cutting a hole in their wall and running rigid ducting through it, just like a clothes dryer.
Can I finance the Valenta 18 roaster?
Yes, we will accept financing from anyone who will give you the funds to purchase this roaster. You also have the option to work with our partners at First Citizens Bank to find funds as well. They do a fantastic job of finding you the best rate and they’re terms are very favorable.

What is the power requirement for the Valenta 18 roaster?
The roaster requires Single-phase 240v at 100-amps on its own dedicated breaker. If you do not have the full power, your roaster will not get hot enough to roast full batches! The exhaust blower that comes with it will also need single-phase 230v at 20-amps.
Does the Valenta coffee roaster come with a warranty?
Yes, all new roasters come with a one-year warranty from the time of purchase.
This warranty will allow you to receive replacement parts for your roaster at no cost to you.
Do you offer training for using the Valenta 18 coffee roaster?
Yes and no. We do not offer formal in-person training but we do have videos on
our YouTube channel that will walk you through your first roast on the machine. You can also reach us with any questions you have, we’re always available to help.
The machine is very easy to use and most people find the videos and instructions in the manual to be more than enough to get started. We know that you will feel confident after just a couple of roasts!
Do I need to assemble the Valenta 18 coffee roaster?
- The roaster comes mostly assembled when delivered. There are just a few small pieces that you will need to assemble before you can use the machine, all of which can be done with common household tools.
- See the roaster manual for more information: Valenta 18 Owners Manual
What else do I need to run the roaster outside of what is included with my Valenta 18 purchase?
- There are just a few things that you will need to get on your own before you can use the roaster.
- #1. The power cord for the roaster. This will need to be hardwired into the roaster by your electrician.
- #2. The plug for the exhaust blower. This will need to be a 20-amp plug. These come in different styles to make sure to get the one that matches the outlet you will be plugging the blower into.
- #3. Rigid ducting. Coffee Crafters will provide some of the ducting pieces you will need for venting the roaster, but you will need to get the majority of it as needed to fit your roasting space. See page 20 in the manual for more information about ducting installation.

Do I need an afterburner for the Valenta 18?
No, you will not need an afterburner to run this roaster unless specifically required to by your building manager, city inspector, etc. Since it is all electric, the only smoke coming from the roaster is natural smoke from the beans when being roasted and does not fall under most codes/laws for exhaust smoke.
