Bangkok, Thailand – May 7, 2026 – Kaleido Roasters is proud to announce the official launch of the all-new Kaleido M2 Lite coffee roaster. This highly anticipated model made its global debut this week at World of Coffee Bangkok, where it drew crowds of home roasting enthusiasts and specialty coffee professionals eager to experience Kaleido’s latest innovation.

The M2 Lite represents a thoughtful evolution of our beloved M2 platform—stripping away complexity where it doesn’t matter and doubling down on what does: precision, consistency, and workflow efficiency.

Designed specifically for dedicated home roasters, coffee labs, and small-batch producers, the M2 Lite delivers professional-grade performance in a compact, 110V electric package—now more accessible than ever.

A Star Debut at World of Coffee Bangkok

Attendees at the show were among the first in the world to see the M2 Lite in action. Live roasting demonstrations highlighted the machine’s responsive hybrid heating system (direct fire + surround hot air), stepless 1–100 controls for airflow, heat, and drum speed, and seamless Artisan software compatibility.

“The response in Bangkok has been incredible,” said May, sales executive at Kaleido Roasters. “Home roasters have been asking for a machine that gives them complete control without taking up their entire kitchen. The M2 Lite is our answer—and seeing the excitement here confirms we got it right.”

What’s New with the M2 Lite

While the M2 Lite shares the same proven roasting DNA as the original M2, it introduces several refinements:

Simplified Body Design – A clean, modern aesthetic that focuses on function.

Integrated Cooling Tray – Minimal assembly required, streamlining your post-roast workflow.

No Carry Handle – A deliberate choice for the stationary home roaster, reducing cost without compromising stability.

Available Exclusively as “Pro” Version – The M2 Lite comes fully equipped with the same precision controls as the M2 Pro.
