CoffeeKid - The Current Setup (#)
„To the right you see part of it. That's my Alpenrost Rotary Drum roaster (aka an Alp), the day I unpacked it. It is the home roaster I use the most, mainly because of the large volume it handles but also because I prefer the resulting bean quality. My other two purpose-build roasters - a Hearthware Precision, and a FreshRoast also get use, but mainly in an additive role, as in if I want to add 50 grams of robusta to a blend.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer
„One of these three roasters is still around: the Alpenrost, or the "Alp" as most people refer to it. It has its problems - an anemic cooling cycle, the inability to view your roast as it progresses, and unpredictable levels of roasts at times, but by and large, it's a great roaster, albeit pricey at $300 or so average price.“

CoffeeKid - Later On July Musings in Coffee and Espresso
„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.“

„Up tap next for first looks are a Spidem machine, a coffee roaster (no, not the lost Hot Top), and machine in the Gaggia lineup. Then a whole whack more.“
