Tough Coffee TANK-200D – Precision Roasting for the Serious Craftsman

Tough Coffee TANK-200D electric drum roaster — compact, durable, and built for precision.

A professional-grade 200g electric drum roaster designed for mastery, not mass production.

Not every coffee roaster is built to scale. Some are built to teach, test, and refine.

For cafés roasting in-house, roasters developing new profiles, and serious enthusiasts stepping beyond entry-level machines, this distinction matters. The Tough Coffee TANK-200D is a compact, electric coffee roaster created for small-batch roasting where precision, repeatability, and hands-on control matter more than automation.

At a Glance

• 200g electric drum coffee roaster

• Manual control of heat input and airflow

• Real-time temperature monitoring

• Integrated cooling tray for fast turnaround

• Designed for learning, profiling, and repeatability

• Ideal for cafés, training environments, and serious home roasters

Today, we’re spotlighting the machine that best embodies this philosophy: the Tough Coffee TANK-200D.

A Brand Engineered in the Workshop, Not the Boardroom

Tough Coffee is the international brand of Shandong WanGu Coffee Co., Ltd., a manufacturer established in 2014 in China’s Shandong Province. What sets the company apart is a manufacturing-first DNA:

• In-House Production: Design, engineering, and manufacturing are handled internally, ensuring tight quality control.

• Protected Innovation: Multiple national patents cover product designs and utility models.

• Built for Use: Machines are designed to be serviced, adjusted, and used daily by people who understand the craft.

This foundation is why Tough Coffee equipment feels substantial, reliable, and purpose-driven — engineered to work, not to impress on a showroom floor.

Meet the TANK-200D: Your Tool for Uncompromising Control

The TANK-200D in a real roasting workflow, with external monitoring and profiling tools, able to connect to Artisan.

The TANK-200D is a compact electric drum roaster designed for environments where learning and precision come first.

Ideal for:

• Small coffee shops roasting in-house

• Roasters developing and testing new profiles

• Training centers and educational programs

• Serious home roasters ready for professional-grade control

It’s not a “smart roaster” that hides the process. The TANK-200D is a precision instrument that puts you directly in control of roasting fundamentals — heat, airflow, and timing.

Importantly, the TANK-200D is not intended for high-volume production. It is purpose-built for experimentation, repeatability, and skill development, where decisions matter more than throughput.

Master Your Roast with Core Features Designed for Control

Internal components designed for consistent heat transfer and controlled airflow.

Every component of the TANK-200D is engineered to provide clear feedback and predictable results at the roasting station.

Stainless Steel Drum & Electric Heating
Ensures stable, consistent heat application for even development from bean to bean — the foundation of a controlled roast profile.

Real-Time Temperature Monitoring
Make critical decisions based on accurate, real-time data. Watch temperature progression and respond immediately as the roast unfolds.

Adjustable Heat Input & Airflow
Total control over the roasting environment, allowing precise influence over flavor development and roast progression.

Integrated After-Cooling System
Rapidly cools beans post-roast, locking in the flavors you’ve developed and enabling efficient batch-to-batch workflow.

Built for Durability, Trusted by Practitioners

Integrated after-cooling helps lock in flavor and enables rapid batch turnaround.

The TANK-200D features solid metal construction and a mechanically straightforward design intended for long-term, daily use.

"First roast with the Tough Coffee TK200 electric roaster. The machine feels solid and well-built, with an integrated cooling tray and fan that makes it far more practical than a DIY setup. Temperature control felt responsive, and first crack came in around 215°C."

— Shared by an early user in the r/roasting community (2020), during their first session with the TK200 — the predecessor to today’s TANK-200D.

This long-standing, organic feedback from the global roasting community reflects the machine’s core promise: consistent, dependable performance built to last.

Why the TANK-200D Makes Sense for the Modern Roaster

As specialty coffee continues to prioritize quality, transparency, and in-house expertise, the TANK-200D aligns naturally with this shift:

• Professional Control at an Accessible Scale: Capabilities typically found on larger machines, without the cost or space requirements.

• A Focus on Craft: Learn and refine roast dynamics in a way automated systems simply cannot replicate.

• A Foundation for Growth: Begin with the TANK-200D and scale within the Tough Coffee ecosystem, which includes 500g and multi-kilo roasters built on the same design philosophy.
