Interview with a Roastmaster (#)

  „Getting those beans cooked just right means preheating the roasting machine. Frank likes to get his roaster, a newish German Probat model, nice and hot, so he cranks it up about half an hour before he starts the roasting process. Roasting machines come in several varieties, most commonly wood, natural gas or air roasters. The Probat at Roma is a natural gas roaster.“

  „I'm psyched. Sanders even let me run a batch through his Probat roaster, so if you're drinking some Ethiopian Harar at the shop in the next few days, that's from me to you :)“

Intelligentsia: Nice Guys with Great Coffee

  „Geoff's Gothot sample roaster. I have never seen one, and if you have used a Probat or a Pinhalense, you will immediately see all the advantages of this machine. It features air damper for each drum, and solid drums like the large machines, meaning that you can reproduce the same roast times as the production roasters, Each barrel is fitted with an individual thermocouple , and the whole thing is tabletop. Just great!“

CoffeeGeek - Members: Buy, Sell and Trade, Probat L5 Roaster - 1993, Very Light Use

  „Please do your research on this item before bidding and before emailing questions. Probat is a very well known brand and there is an abundance of information regarding this roaster available on the net. As I mentioned, I answer all of my emails - however, I simply do not have the time to answer obvious questions about the operation of this unit; answers which can be found by doing a simple google search or visiting one of the many coffee forums. Please do your homework - this is not an inexpensive item up for bidding.“

Tea & Coffee 11/03 - A Coffee Roaster Museum

  „The Museum is not intended solely as a promotion for Probat, but comprises the history of coffee technology, with the inclusion of competitors’ roasting machines. Some of those earlier rivals still exist, but others are now members of the Probat group. There are several roasters, for instance, from the Jabez Burns company, which became a leading U.S. manufacturer from the Civil War years, when coffee was a daily part of military rations.“
