The Ultimate Coffee Roasting Companion: Yoshan DY-2KG Coffee Roaster Review

Yoshan DY-2KG Coffee Roaster: We recently rebranded from Lil Baggins to Beans of Glory here in Tucson

The Yoshan DY-2KG Coffee Roaster has truly revolutionized our coffee roasting experience. From the moment we unboxed the gas version, we were impressed with how straightforward the setup was. A quick trip to the local hardware store for fittings and a regulator, and we were up and running in no time. I forget the size of the fittings but take your hardware to ACE Hardware and they can help you with what you need. Make sure to check your seals with soapy water to confirm there is no gas leaking! The seamless Bluetooth/USB connectivity allowed us to sync effortlessly with Artisan software, making it a breeze to roast and track each batch with precision.
