Popper Roasting Tips (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „It didn't take too many roasts before I got sick of pulling the cord out of the wall to stop the roast. Unlike other roasters such as the Fresh Roast or the Hearthware , the West Bend 2 doesn't have an OFF switch. Note: the original West Bend Poppery does have an off switch. The way to stop a roast is simply by pulling the cord out the wall.“

CoffeeKid - A Home Roasting Primer

  „Other roasters are around too: The second generation Fresh Roast has been updated, and now instead of roasting 2 ounces, can do 3.5, or about the same amount a popcorn popper can. At about $60, this is the cheapest regular price for a dedicated coffee roaster available today, and it does do the job pretty well.“

Stovetop Roasting with the Whirley-Pop (INeedCoffee.com)

  „You can easily start roasting at home with one of these roasters. But there are other, older methods of home roasting. This article explores using a stovetop popcorn popper, which enables you to roast coffee right on your gas stove. It's not nearly as easy as roasting with an electrical popcorn popper, but the advantages of this method are that you have 100% control over the roasting profile and you can roast greater quantities at one time.“

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.“

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.“

Why Home Roast? (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Furthermore, unlike homebrewing kits or bread machines, you don't have to make a large equipment investment. I started home roasting by purchasing a West Bend Poppery II hot air popcorn machine. They retail for around $20 US. There are more advanced roasting devices that you can invest in, but you'll get great coffee from any of the available roasting methods.“
