Hot Rod Home Coffee Roasters, The Spirit of Invention : Homemade and Seriously Modified! (#)
„The design is crude and based on my ability and the parts I could find. My roast drum is a stainless steel basket into which I added three angled stainless steel fins (rolling the beans to the back of the drum).The lid was found at the same kitchen store and fins were attached to it to match the inside fins.ÊÊI used aÊWeber grill rotis.for the drive. I used a square key from the motor to the black iron pipe and flange that is bolted to the basket. When I want to empty the basket I open the grill and with good gloves grab the pipe and basket handle, raising it up enoughÊto clear the notch cut in the grill whichÊwill raise the rotis motor and allow the square key to slide out and the drum is easily emptied into a cooling basket.“

„Most retailers do not roast or blend their coffees and are dependent on a wholesale roaster to supply espresso blends for their use. It's important to purchase fresh-roasted beans every week and buy only a week's supply at a time so they are always fresh. The roasting date must be stamped on the bag so the freshness is obvious.“

„Just in case you felt you needed more coffee machinery around your kitchen. Home coffee roasting is actually pretty easy, and takes hardly any time at all. Though it's possible to roast your coffee beans in the oven, in a frying pan or even a popcorn popper , having a proper roaster may be handy for the roasting novice.“

„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.“

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.“

Why Home Roast? (INeedCoffee.com)
„Green, unroasted, coffee beans generally cost half the price of what you would pay for the same kind of bean roasted. If you are an avid coffee drinker, you can really save money by roasting your own. Furthermore, unlike homebrewing kits or bread machines, you don't have to make a large equipment investment.“
