Espresso Outlet and Kaleido Roasters USA is proud to present the Kaleido M2 LITE Coffee Roaster.  Everyone has been loving the M1 LITE, so Kaleido decided to revamp the extremely popular M2.  

INTRODUCTORY PRICING!  As we often do with new products, the Kaleido M2 LITE will start out at $1199, normal pricing will be $1299.  Take advantage of this limited time discount!

The M2 LITE has all the same roasting capabilities as the M2, but at a more affordable price tag.  The M1 LITE works great with Artisan via Bluetooth or USB (note Artisan has issues with Macbook Air, this is an Artisan bug, not related to Kaleido).  It uses the same induction air system (Sealed) as previous version.  The induction air delivery has been updated to the side of the roaster for consistent air flow.

What has Changed?

• The M2 LITE is more or less the same tried and true M2 with simplified body panel design
• No carry handle
• The bean cooling tray requires minimal assembly, see video below.   
• The M2 LITE only comes in what is the equivalent of the M2 Pro version.  The previous version of the M2 has been discontinued.

Overview:

The M2 LITE is the perfect size for home users looking to combine efficiency, capacity and price into one fantastic home roaster.  With the ability to roast up to 500g and have full control over every aspect of the roast, you can roast professional-quality coffee right at home.

The M2 LITE is compatible with the Artisan platform. Log and control your roast in real-time with the open-sourced FREE platform. Please note that the M2 LITE is not compatible with the Kaleido proprietary tablet, so you need to provide your own device to run Artisan.  We recommend a Windows laptop.  (Note Chromebooks are not windows based)

Q&A:

• Q: Will the Kaleido Proprietary tablet work with this roaster?
• A: It will not, the M2 LITE is controlled by Artisan Scope roasting software.

• Q: Can I perform back to back roasts?
• A: Yes, all of Kaleido roasters are capable of performing back to back roasts without cooling down the roaster. 

• Q: How many roasts per hour can I do?
• A: We say in general 4-5 roasts per hour depending upon roast time and how efficient you are.

• Q: Will the M2 LITE be offered in other colors?
• A: At this time, we only plan to offerer in black.

• Q: Will the M2 LITE work with HiBean App?
• A: While it is not supported by Kaleido or Espresso Outlet, it does appear to be mostly functional when using an Android tablet.  It is not compatible with iOS.
