CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer (#)
„A company called Hearthware introduced the very popular Hearthware Gourmet. Another company introduced the FreshRoast, a micro roaster that could roast only a few ounces of beans at time.“

„This is its biggest plus, in my opinion. It also does a different style of roast than air roasters like the Hearthware or FreshRoast do. It tends to give more body to the beans that like body, which is good, but also tends to mute bright notes in beans you want to have bright notes in, which isn't so good. Construction is pretty good in the device, and while I expected that there would be a lot more interactive controls on the device (in pictures, it looks like this, but in reality, the control panel is mostly stickers that do nothing, other than a heat and cool button), bottom line is, it does the job.“

View topic - Roasting Temp help - Coffee Forum
„When you say oven...you mean roaster right? First of all a dark roast should be done before 30 mins....way before...my dark roasts take around 21-22 mins...if you are roasting your beans for 30 mins you are baking the coffee...start your roast at a higher temp...but if you didn't mean roaster and you did mean oven I can't help ya.“

Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: Alpenrost Rotary Drum Home Coffee Roaster
„It roasts from 2 to 8 ounces of coffee beans at a time, so it's possible to roast only as much as is needed for a day or for the week. (Roasted coffee beans lose their flavor and aroma fairly quickly; they are usually at their best within seven days of roasting.) The company also has a wide assortment of custom-blended and estate green coffee beans, including decaffeinated and organically grown, which means the it's easy to create a special blend and custom-roast it to an individual taste. The patented "Flow-Thru" ventilation keeps the machine cool to the touch throughout the roasting process, and it handles up to 15 different roast settings--just press a button and the machine roasts, cools, removes chaff, and expels the beans from the drum. Those green coffee beans stay fresh for two to three years, so buy in bulk now, and roast in mini batches all year long.“

Fresh Roast Plus -New Model! - Home Coffee Roaster by Fresh Beans. $70.50FreshRoast Coffee Roaster
„One addition I would make: start your experiments to find the roast time you most prefer at 6 minutes on the dial. The capacity of the Freshroast is less than other roasters we have, but it's advantages are ease-of-use, and its straightforward design. The batch size I test with is a bit different than they recommend in their manual. I would still use our measurements: two rounded 43cc scoops (scoop provided), which equals 2.25 ounces (64 grams) of green coffee.“

Roasting Less Than 8 oz. In the Alpenrost: Home Coffee Roasting: Sweet
„Experienced roaster/operators can use the Alpenrost to test smaller samples of green beans by doing a "manual roast." This technique will allow the roaster to roast in smaller quantities (IE: 125gr. /4oz.) rather than the “recommended 225gr. /8oz.“
