HotTop Drum Coffee Roaster $585 Hot Top Coffee Roaster (#)

  „from each roast cycle. (A Salter Scale is a recommended add-on!The perforated drum has a spiral wire (blue arrow) and agitator fins in it to keep coffee tumbling during the roast. Roasts results are very even in the HotTop.The roast curve of the HotTop is very similar to my commercial Probat L12 roaster, but preset burner control makes for slower roast times, ideal for espresso and (as I discovered) surprisingly good for the lighter roasts too.The drum is perforated to allow chaff to fall into the collection tray, which is easily removed for cleaning between roasts.Front view of the HotTop. The cooling tray pulls air downward through the coffee and works well!“

Hottop Coffee Roaster (INeedCoffee.com)

  „The Hottop is a drum coffee roaster, designed for home use, with a manufacturer's recommended batch size of 250g of green beans per roast. This also makes it the highest-capacity (commercially manufactured) home roaster by a small margin, as the Alpenröst is specified to take a batch size of 225g. The Hottop is electrically powered, both for heating and drum rotation - no gas here, unlike in professional sample roasters. It is also computer controlled - at the time of writing it is the only shipping home roaster with a built in roasting profile (temperature over time).“

Tea & Coffee 10/01 - A Tea Filter Renaissance

  „R & H’s uniquely designed Tea Control Brew-Stop Tea Maker combines a glass teapot with a filter, which is attached to the lid of the teapot, all in one unit. The perforated base of the filter allows boiling water to flow through the system quickly, so the user doesn’t have to constantly set the kettle down like they do traditionally. Side perforations in the filter allow the tea flavor, which usually tends to spread towards the bottom, to flow evenly out into the water.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer

  „The homeroasting method, using a fluid bed of hot air, provided a much more even roast than roasting in a skillet, or even in a stove top popcorn popper with an agitator. Tyros and hobbyists picked up on this, and started the trend towards homeroasting coffee again. Companies like Melitta and others brought out "first generation" automated home roasting devices.“
