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

  „But you will have a slightly different roast profile from the first "cold roaster" batch to the next batch (about a 1 minute shift in roast curve), and I would advise stopping the roast manually to truly target the exact degree-of-roast that you desire. The extra smoke filter (you receive a replacement one too). Not sure exactly what effect it has, but this should last 20 roasts or more - so two ought to last six months or a year depending on how dark you roast and how much. HotTop comes with this nifty funnel that fits the bean insert in chute perfectlyThe top vent-filter allows the roast air to flow through the drum while the rear vent is closed.“

View topic - Help:Best roaster for roasting 1/2 or 1lb coffee? - Coffee Forum

  „Have you looked into getting a HotTop? It's a small drum roaster that'll do 9oz batches, costs $595 (cheapest I've seen is $585), uses filters that cost $10 each that last 50 or so roasts. There is information available that details how to convert the filter frame into a permanent filter using a metal screen filter from a computer CPU. My opinion is that the filter is pretty effective on reducing a lot of the smoke, but not all of it.“

Hot Rod Home Coffee Roasters, The Spirit of Invention : Homemade and Seriously Modified!

  „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.“

Tea & Coffee 05/03 - Getting the Skinny on Sample Roasters: Part I

  „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.“

Building Your Own Coffee Roaster (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Now you are done and need to study how to control the heat and how to roast. You need a lot of experience to get use to your own home made roaster. Even after you get your coffee roasted, you need to let it rest for around 48-72 hours before testing the taste. So a lot of time is needed.“
