CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer ()

  „The mid to late 1990s saw a fair amount of what I call "second generation" machines show up on the scene. There was the (now defunct) Unimax Micro roaster that used infrared heat to roast coffee. 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.“

  „I wonder if I should send the manufacturer a bill for all the wasted coffee I've gotten from this roaster, because of the failing drum and because you cannot prolong the roast more than a minute or so past the "maximum" (ie, you can't manually extend the roast beyond four clicks of a "plus" button on the roaster, which adds between 5 and 10 seconds to the roast). Not counting the lost Kopi, I've lost probably $100+ worth of coffee on this roaster. With the Kopi? It doubles.“

  „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.“

  „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.“

  „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.“
