What's the Giesen Industrial Roasting experience like? Neighbourhood Roasters / Quarterhorse Coffee

Watch on YouTubeCherrybook summary of the video
Quarter Horse Coffee shares their experience scaling production with Giesen industrial roasters, moving from a Giesen 15 to a Giesen 30 and 60. The roasters praise Giesen's reliability, consistency, build quality, and responsive UK-based customer service, noting that the equipment has significantly improved their roasting operations and efficiency.
Inside this video
From Giesen Roasting Solutions:
“Consistent great quality of coffee; we find that sweetness is the main thing that comes out when roasting with a Giesen.”
“It's just helped us to scale. You get to a point and you physically can't roast much more coffee.”
“I think the airflow and pressure profiling is probably also what sets it apart and what we're really happy with.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 5% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. No Reddit or YouTube roaster-level signal is on file. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore reflects the limited per-lot evidence plus the methodology's neutral baseline.
