Coffee roasting creates some of the most stubborn buildup in the industry—carbonized oils, tar-like residues, and baked-on soils that ordinary cleaners simply can’t touch. Roaster Soakz is a highly concentrated, extra-strength cleaning powder engineered specifically for coffee roaster equipment, where heat and oil combine into the toughest cleaning challenge in coffee.
When dissolved in hot water, Roaster Soakz penetrates and lifts heavy roast byproduct buildup without aggressive scraping or prolonged downtime. It’s designed for soaking removable parts whose shapes, sizes, and tolerances make scrubbing impractical—or risky. For roasters who care about consistency, longevity, and safety, this is the right tool for the job.
Roaster Soakz Features
-
Extra-Strength Formula
Nearly 10× more powerful than Cafiza, formulated to break down heavy roasting oils and carbonized residue.
-
Soak-Activated Cleaning
When mixed with hot water, it dislodges stubborn soils that brushing alone can’t remove.
-
Ideal for Complex Stainless Steel Parts
Perfect for removable roaster components with tight tolerances, intricate shapes, or hard-to-reach surfaces.
-
Efficient & Cost-Effective
Use 1 oz (28 g) per gallon of water — approximately 64 cleaning baths per container.
-
Purpose-Built for Roasters
Designed specifically for coffee roasting equipment, not general café or espresso use.
Who It’s For
- Commercial coffee roasters.
- Production roasting facilities.
- Lab roasters and R&D teams.
- Technicians servicing roaster components.
- Any operation where heavy roast oil buildup is unavoidable.
If you’re roasting daily—or pushing darker profiles—this cleaner isn’t optional, it’s preventative maintenance.
