CoffeeGeek - Swissmar Alpenrost First Look (#)
„The Swissmar (website ) Alpenrost is a product that many home roasters and almost as many small professional roasters anticipated. Before it came to market, there was no viable half pound roaster available to the public for a price below $1,000, and the ones hovering around that price point were more often than not based on air roasting technology. The Alpenrost is a drum roaster, using electrical heating coils to do its job, and that made it highly desirable.“

Amazon.com: Books: Home Coffee Roasting: Romance & Revival
„This book is worth several times its purchase price for the two-page roasting chart alone. As a technically-oriented (read: nerd) amateur roaster with three (3) roasters (a Hearthware Precision, an Alpenrost, and the fabulous Coffee Kinetics - Syd & Jerry fluid bed) I am constantly referring to this book to improve my art and understanding.“

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.“

„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.“
