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.“

  „When you say oven...you mean roaster right? First of all a dark roast should be done before 30 mins....way before...my dark roasts take around 21-22 mins...if you are roasting your beans for 30 mins you are baking the coffee...start your roast at a higher temp...but if you didn't mean roaster and you did mean oven I can't help ya.“

  „The target for roasting success is much narrower than with medium or moderately dark roasts. Plus, roasters need to be very disciplined about roast color, and gauge it either by cupping or by machine reading with an Agtron color reader. It is very, very difficult for the human eye to distinguish between beans brought to an M-Basic Agtron reading of 30 and those brought to a 18, even though the difference in how the two taste will be dramatic. Done right, the 30 has the potential to be roasty tasting but full-bodied, sweet and complex, whereas the 18 will end up a bit thin in body and anonymously burned in flavor no matter how well the roast is managed.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „One, the Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee Dark Roast, was strikingly inexpensive at 23 cents an ounce but as decent a version of the extreme dark-roast profile as many specialty French roasts that sell for twice as much. The same low-grade, musty coffees may inhabit this bag as fill the red bags of the medium-roast "original" Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee reviewed earlier, but aggressive dark-roasting does wonders for low-grade Indonesia coffees, as many a specialty roaster knows. At 32 cents per ounce, the Trader Joe's French Roast was more expensive than the Eight O'Clock Bean Dark Roast but even more intense in its bittersweet expression.“
