The Ghibli Firewood is the first of its kind to bridge the gap between old tradition and modern precision. We have replaced the unpredictability of open flames with advanced gasification technology, delivering clean, convective heat that offers the same repeatability and automation as gas, yet retains the complexity of nature. By harnessing the unique aromatic depth of real wood, the Ghibli Firewood allows roastmasters to craft distinctive, high-character profiles without compromising the rigorous consistency required for professional production.

The Ghibli Firewood is engineered for uncompromising precision and repeatability. Once a profile is set, the system reproduces it with absolute accuracy. Consistency is driven by a sub-atmospheric combustion chamber and precise thermal monitoring that isolates the roast from external changes in humidity, temperature and air pressure.
While gas roasters use an automated fuel line, the Firewood delivers that same industrial-grade consistency through a manual fuel supply. Simply feed the fire, and the system’s advanced automation handles the precision.
The Ghibli Firewood gives roastmasters absolute control over every stage during the roast. Heat input, airflow, and drum speed are fully modulated from 0 to 100 percent, allowing precise micro adjustments in real time. Every parameter is clearly displayed and continuously monitored, giving the operator complete visibility and confidence throughout the process. This level of control allows experienced roastmasters to shape flavor with ease, precision, and total freedom.
write gasification technology
The Ghibli Firewood features a ceramic-lined drum housing that insulates the roasting chamber and maintains stable, evenly distributed heat throughout the roast. The thick ceramic layer shields the drum from external temperature influence, guaranteeing thermal stability and consistent roasting conditions. At the same time, the insulation significantly reduces heat loss and prevents constant reheating, significantly lowering wood consumption and optimizing energy efficiency.
Our geometric drum design was engineered in-house to maximize contact between each bean and the drum surface, promoting consistent heat transfer throughout the roast. This precise bean movement results in highly uniform batches with repeatable outcomes. At the end of the roast, the same geometry enables rapid and complete evacuation, preventing unintended over-roasting and ensuring the coffee stops developing exactly where you intended.
The Ghibli Firewood is equipped with a high-performance turbo cooling system capable of cooling a full 15kg batch in less than three minutes. Rapid cooling immediately stops the roasting process, preventing over development and locking in the intended flavor profile. The result is cleaner cup expression, higher consistency, and full control over the final roast outcome.
Our Vortex TO4 drum uses a precise spiral airflow pattern that drives heat through the bean mass in a controlled, continuous motion. This optimized airflow achieves stronger heat transfer with less intake air, increasing efficiency while maintaining full control over the roast. The result is even bean development, improved energy efficiency, and consistently higher cup quality.
Perfect heat dispersion assures essential coffee compounds are fully developed and enhanced during the roasting process.
A unique combination of conduction and controlled convection assures the final cup profile displays excellent, high aroma levels.
Advanced thermodynamic design and a clean, precise gasification method secure a high-quality, clean cup profile.
Engineered for high-output performance with minimal wood consumption, ensuring maximum energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
Record and analyze your roasting profiles with ease. The Ghibli Firewood is compatible with all popular roast logging software.
Regular software updates are developed by our team and can be downloaded via Wi-Fi, allowing even older Ghibli Firewood models to benefit from the latest improvements and features.
The Ghibli Firewood features an extremely compact footprint, and is the most efficient 15kg wood roaster on the market. allowing it to integrate easily into your current setup without taking up much space or compromising on quality.
Backed by an experienced technical team and a global network of authorized distributors, the Ghibli Firewood is supported with responsive after-sales service, expert technical guidance, and long-term service availability to ensure reliable performance for years to come. With three decades of experience building top-quality coffee roasters, Coffee-Tech Engineering is a partner you can rely on.
The Ghibli Firewood supports two fully integrated smokeless solutions, engineered to connect seamlessly with the roaster and meet demanding environmental requirements. The Afterburner, powered by gas, eliminates smoke and emissions through high-temperature combustion, effectively reducing CO, NOx, SOx, and other pollutants. For locations requiring an electric solution, the Commercial Avirnaki offers a low-consumption, electric-powered smoke eliminator that efficiently reduces emissions without the need for external ducting. Both systems are highly efficient, reliable, and purpose-built to perform optimally with our roasters.
Built with premium materials and carefully selected components, the Ghibli Firewood is engineered for durability, consistent performance, and long-term reliability. The FZ has continuously evolved over the years, with first-generation machines still operating today.
Bean, drum, and exhaust temperatures are continuously monitored with three integrated probes for precise thermal control, and allowing high repeatability.
The Ghibli Firewood is built with a sealed structure that prevents emissions from escaping into the roasting space, ensuring a safe and controlled working environment. An integrated in-drum fire extinguisher allows for immediate response in the event of a drum fire. In addition, a manual safety crank enables the roastmaster to evacuate the beans manually in the event of a power loss, ensuring full control under all operating conditions. At Coffee-Tech Engineering, safety is engineered with responsibility and intention, because protecting the roastmaster is as critical as protecting the roast.
