For something I paid almost $1300 you think I could make a custom roast without paying for a subscription. Simple money grab and it’s my biggest disappointment. While I’ll still use my IKAWA home roaster I recommend alternatives to others who ask me for this simple reason. -- Casey721122, 2024-02-26 ### *---- "Want to be locked into their coffee or pay a monthly subscription?" I had the Ikawa Home Roaster pulled up and was ready to buy it. Thankfully I decided to check the app out before making such a big purchase. There are “recipes” for Ikawa’s coffees, so you’ll be fine as long as you buy from them. But this is the world’s most expensive razor blade handle for those razor blades, and even if their coffee is fairly priced and very good, I would never buy a roaster to be locked in to one store. How easy is it to roast your own coffee? Turns out that you need to pay a monthly subscription to have access. Looking for confirmation? Go to Ikawa’s “Creating your own roast recipes using Graph Editor” blog post. Right now is it at least $34 a month for that subscription, but with all subscriptions, they can raise that price and you have no option to go elsewhere. I went digging for how people are dealing with that. Some posts were from people who had sold their machine. It was great for Ikawa, but they couldn’t replicate great results for other beans using the existing profiles. Some posts were for people who would manually stop the roast a certain period of time after the first crack, removing the benefits of automation this roaster provides. I can’t support a roaster that I don’t own the hardware and software I need to use it, so I’m really glad I didn’t make the mistake of buying this one. I wish Ikawa was more upfront about the cost and need for the subscription. I’m glad I hesitated. This roaster could have been such a cool offering. -- peteer01, 2023-12-06 ### ****- "Improved" I bought the Ikawa Pro way back from the SCAA in Seattle 2014(?). Enjoyed using it to have more repeatable sample roasts over my 2 barrel Probat. Fast forward 9 years and I’m no longer in the coffee industry but I still love coffee. So, i ended up buying the Ikawa Home Roaster Black Friday 2022. At the time, I didn’t realize that you couldn’t tweak the roasts the way I wanted to without paying the monthly fee. That’s really the only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars. I’m not experiencing any of the problems other reviewers have had. And, i am paying for the subscription to customize roasts. Hope this review helps -- Honor D, 2023-11-12 ### *---- "Love the roaster, hate the app." This app Hass to be the most difficult to use, terrible interface, nothing works properly app I’ve ever used. It’s bizarre that you can charge $1300 for great device to roast coffee and spend absolutely no time effort or resources to make the app work properly. I am within the 30 day window to return the roaster and I might have to do that because I am way too frustrated to keep using this application. -- Jjff11, 2023-02-26 ### *---- "Garbage" Doesn’t work -- Mfaheid, 2023-01-23 ### *---- "Just broke" This app works great as long as you don’t log in and use it. Once you do that, it will crash and you can only roast whatever was the last profile you used. The Bluetooth also takes forever to link to the app which is probably unrelated. On a positive note, the machine itself works and have never had any issues so as long as you roast 1 type of bean for 1 profile it’s the best £1200 you could ever spend. -- Disappointed Ikawa Owner, 2023-01-06 ### *---- "App Doesn’t Work" I am unable to do my very first roast upon receiving the new IKAWA home because the roaster is defaulting to a coffee and roast level I do not desire. The first attempt to edit it to a Light roast kept re-triggering back to Medium. I deleted the app and re-installed it. I then was able to edit the existing Medium template to Light, but it will not save. The loading wheel continues for 10-15 minutes, and restarting the app has not solved the issue. Ready to return this because after being so excited to get this product, it is rendered useless by an app that cannot support the roaster. Perhaps the IKAWA Pro app is better, but from my understanding, it doesn’t not work with the IKAWA Home roaster. What a shame. -- jnani93, 2022-12-10 ### *---- "Not launching after updating ios" ios home app does not launch after ios updates. What is going on? -- App review 20184977, 2022-06-13 ### *---- "New update" I can’t add IKAWA coffee recipe and my own coffee recipe -- Milanfan88, 2022-05-15 ### *---- "Bait and switch, untrustworthy, poor business practice, buggy software" So you wanted an Ikawa roaster, well they have changed their business model for hobby users. If you want to build your own roast profile like you’ve been able to go since the roaster was first released, you will now have to pay $33 per month. Talk about bait and switch. I suspect they are trying to deter professionals from using the home version which is a quarter of the cost of the pro roaster, by crippling the software. In addition, the software is extremely buggy. There is no response from their developers. The in app reporting system dumps the logs into the ether, you find even get a confirmation email, and no one responds. Except for the sales department, they are happy to take your call. I wanted to like this company, their tag line is “here for you”, should be more like “here for your money”. Be critical with who you choose to do business with, it matters. Update: 5/12/2022 it took Ikawa 6 months to fix the temperature for each node not displaying because it was cut off of the left side. I like how they call this an “improvement” in the update log. -- tennr, 2022-05-12 ### **--- "Buggier than a tropical rainforest" This app is good when it decides it wants to work. But that’s rare. Paying the high price of this machine and not even being able to roast coffee creates an awful experience. Each time I purchase a new bag, the app will not let me send the new roast to the machine. It takes an hour or two of reinstalling the app, turning the machine back on and off.. it’s a nightmare. Extremely buggy and has difficulty performing a simple function, sending a coffee roast to the machine! I’m ready to return my machine. -- Mikenike315, 2022-05-11 ### *---- "Great machine, terrible app experience" I’ve had this machine for almost half a year now and while it’s been amazing for roasting at home, the app is downright terrible. It crashes every time I go into my recipes, unless I create a new one. It doesn’t detect my machine like 90% of the time causing me to have to restart the machine or reconnect my bluetooth over and over again. I filed multiple bug reports within the app and no-one has ever gotten back to me. This is a $1000 machine, y’all really need to do better. -- TotinoBoy92, 2022-04-12 ### *---- "Machine Good, App Bad" What a horrible experience this is. Almost nothing works. My roasts don’t get saved, there’s essentially no reason to add a coffee to my list. It doesn’t -do- anything. DO NOT PAY $34 for the graph editor!! It’s useless. Recipes are almost non-existent. I wanted to love this product so much, all I can say is the app is TRULY a ripoff but the machine is nice. -- toolsdrummer, 2022-03-29 ### **--- "$34 to edit your own recipe or keep buying beans from them." First of all, this unit is not cheap, it’s over $1000, however, for the money, it’s very well built, well engineered and has great esthetics. After committing to buying the roaster, you scan the QR code on beans they provide you, and you roast away, it’s easy, simple, and quick. But then you decide you want to roast differently, or you may want to roast your own beans, well, that’s going to cost you $34 a month, that’s an extra $408 a year just on having the ability to use one function of their app and edit your own roast. Don’t like it? Keep buying their beans and keep scanning those QR codes. If you want to learn to scan a QR code and press a button, and you don’t want to learn to roast at all, this is the roaster for you. It’s basically the equivalent of a Nespresso machine to brewing coffee, but if you want to use this machine to it’s maximum potential, be prepared for the additional costs. -- Userone, 2022-01-08 ### **--- "Too expensive for graph editor." It cost $ 34 a month to use the graph editor, too expensive!!! Not very happy about that. -- Alextoalex, 2021-12-26 ### ***-- "New app deleted all my recipes" The new app looks clean but be warned - it deletes all your recipes. -- MrGadgetCT, 2021-11-09 ### ***-- "Some good stuff but setup back on the profile developing features" First off, the roaster itself is awesome. Very easy to use (once you get the profile to your liking) and robust. It’s definitely a five-star machine. Now about the app - I like the new profile management that now deletes old profiles on other devices. Previously, I was trying not to sync them, and if I accidentally did, I had to delete so many old profiles one at a time. However, I like the previous version much better when it comes to the profile editing and the time display. It was much easier to change only either the temperature or the time at a time by tapping the point and moving the hairline on either axis. Now it moves freely in both axises, I have to be extra careful not to change the other axis that I don’t want to change. It may sound easy to keep the value on the other axis, but not so easy to do so on a touch screen. Another thing I don’t like about the new version is that it stopped showing the elapsed time and showing the remaining time instead. I have to record the remaining times first then convert them to the elapsed times afterwards when I try a new or tweaked profile. This is very painful. I looked for some settings to change the behavior but I couldn’t. Hopefully Ikawa make them configurable in the next iteration. Finally, a bug - when you scroll the screen while roasting, sometimes the chart doesn’t get redrawn correctly. Old versions had a similar problem but less annoying because they used to draw the path on the char that gave me an idea on where it stands in the roasting process. -- HalT2009, 2019-09-09 [View all IKAWA Home reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## IKAWA Home In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | IKAWA Home Plus Monthly | $5.99 | ## IKAWA Home Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | Colombia | Food Drink | #10 | | Top Grossing | India | Food Drink | #11 | | Top Grossing | Türkiye | Food Drink | #18 | | Top Grossing | Hong Kong SAR China | Food Drink | #40 | | Top Grossing | South Korea | Food Drink | #65 | | Top Grossing | Peru | Food Drink | #92 | | Top Grossing | Thailand | Food Drink | #93 | ## IKAWA Home Available In - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/united-kingdom) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/south-korea) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/canada) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/taiwan) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/hong-kong) - [Hungary](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/hungary) - [China](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/china) - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/ireland) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/sweden) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/austria) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/japan) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/switzerland) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/australia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/denmark) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/malaysia) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/france) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/norway) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/poland) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/indonesia) - [Russia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/russia) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/peru) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/philippines) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/pakistan) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/portugal) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/romania) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/saudi-arabia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/singapore) - [Slovenia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/slovenia) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/thailand) - [Türkiye](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/turkey) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/argentina) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/azerbaijan) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/brazil) - [Belarus](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/belarus) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/czechia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/germany) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/ecuador) - [Estonia](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/estonia) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/egypt) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/greece) - [Israel](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/israel) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/india) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/lebanon) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/ikawa-home-cLNc/nigeria) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
