„An added benefit is that the peak harvest is usually a few months apart from the peak harvest availability of washed Central American coffees. Many roasters will buy Peru coffees to use in blends, since the cup profile is similar to the best Central American coffees.“

„But in this industry, the cooperative concept has typically begun and ended at origin—until now. Stirring among the bellows of a little more than a dozen small North American roasters has been an idea longstanding among small coffee producers but new to specialty coffee buyers: a roaster's cooperative, appropriately named Cooperative Coffees. Intrigued? You should be, because as small roasters and retailers, the notion of banding together with like-minded colleagues for better access to unique coffees and more direct relationships with farmers could change the way you do business.“

„Through Cooperative Coffees, 15 North American roasters combine their resources to purchase beans from small farmers who combine their harvests to sell in bulk. Much of the business is taken care of personally at annual meetings between the co-ops.

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.

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.“
