Coffee Roasts: Notes from a Non-Roaster (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„The Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA), in an effort to add some uniformity to the industry, has put out a roast color chart. But that doesn't affect the brand new roaster who knows what they used to drink in a little Café in France and starts roasting a medium dark French Roast, nor does it affect the old time family-owned roaster who never even heard of the SCAA. If they have a coffee that has been their Italian Roast for 50 years, then it doesn't matter if the proper name of said roast on the SCAA chart is French or Viennese or Full City or whatever, it's still Italian Roast to them. So the confusion isn't likely to dissipate soon.“

„I have a Fresh roast plus 8 .If you have a decent exhaust fan in your kitchen you may get away with the FR+8. It does produce some smoke but you may also want to open a window if nearby.“

How to Stereotype Roasters (INeedCoffee.com)
„Even if you plan to grind at home, use this test to stereotype the quality of the entire coffee operation. Same Style Of Roasting Does every coffee bean at the roaster look like French roast? A skilled roaster will know that every crop has a sweet spot; some beans are best when roasted lighter and some best when roasted dark. A Colombian may excel at a Vienna Roast, but roasting Ethiopian Yirgacheffe that dark is a crime.“

„"Coffee roasting is an art form, is it not?" Darn straight it is! But think on this: As a coffee roaster, you are not trying to create an original piece of work with each roast. In fact, just the opposite.“

Tea & Coffee 05/03 - Getting the Skinny on Sample Roasters: Part I
„Then, one roaster manufacturer posed this question: “Do these small machines really produce a decent enough roast to help determine a green sample’s worth?” It all comes down to that. In response, listed below are some new sample roasters that just might help in the green coffee buying decision. For the record, in my opinion, not one of these machines has the kind of variable settings that would qualify them as a commercial roaster. But, the point of this article is to determine if they could assist in finding a great coffee.“

Hot Rod Home Coffee Roasters, The Spirit of Invention : Homemade and Seriously Modified!
„Either they don't offer enough control of the roast, are too expensive, or just don't allow the roaster (uh, the person that is) to express themselves. The homemade or seriously modified commercial roasters on this page are alternately amusing and intimidating in appearance, but whatever the case, they probably work very well. And if they don't, you can bet they will be reconfigured endlessly until they do by their respective owners. A disclaimer on behalf of every roaster on this page: modifying electric and gas roasting equipment is dangerous.“
