Indiacoffee - Indian Coffee, Monthly magazine - Cover Story - The Art of Roasting: The Probat Way (#)

„The concept behind the Probat Day is to update the Indian coffee market comprising growers/curers/traders/exporters/roasters and consumers on the developments in the field of coffee roasters, grinders and lab equipment, which are manufactured the world over, with special reference to Probat equipment. It is a day when we are able to bring the entire Indian coffee industry under one roof, enabling interaction between the individual players in the coffee industry and the people behind Probat machines. We are also able to understand market requirements and accordingly design our future strategies to cater to the Indian coffee industry. The Probat Day is held once in two years and has been a great success each time it is held, considering that on this day not only do the people behind Probat equipment come down from Germany to participate with the Indian coffee industry, interacting with them and providing the latest information on coffee roasters and grinders, but also help in educating the players in the Indian coffee industry on the art of roasting and grinding.“

View topic - The 12s (IR and L)...what are the diffs? - Coffee Forum (#)

„I just committed to a five year old, lightly used Diedrich IR-12, and am considering taking the four day course at CTI in California, which comes recommended by a roastmaster friend (who uses an older model Probat L12). Robert at CTI uses, and sells, Probats. He's indicated that the training is not specific to Probats, but... Can anyone on this forum tell me what are the differences between these two 12s, the Probat and the Diedrich?“

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.“

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.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„   The art of roasting, as McCormack taught it to Smith, stems largely from the use of a manual roaster, a Probat L12 (an L22 is currently on order). While learning on an automated machine might have greatly reduced Smith’s training time, the effect would have been like learning to drive in your mom’s minivan while your dad’s vintage VW bug sat idly in the garage. “Roasting is all manual here,” says Smith with evident pride.“

„Jabez Burns, Inc., formerly Burns Division of Buffalo Technology Corp., has been operating as an independent subsidiary of Probat since the spring of 1998. Both companies have over a century of experience in providing quality coffee roasting and processing equipment and systems. The union of the two companies will offer a combination of experience, technology, craftsmanship and resources that will be unequalled in the industry.“

Specialty Coffee Bulletin Board :: View topic - C-Member Homecoming and Open House (#)

„Diedrich and a small Probat, and a couple of La Marzocco's. The Probat wouldn't separate chaff, and we generally had more success with the bigger units. It's not that easy working with unfamiliar machines, and it's especially difficult to figure out when they're hot enough to load and when to cut the heat. But we had fun and made a few roasts that aren't likely to kill anyone.“

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!“

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

„For those of you who are not familiar with my experience in coffee I'll give you a nutshell version. It's my 23rd year roasting coffee at Peet's.The first four years I learned directly from Alfred Peet on Probat 45-kilo and 120-kilo roasting machines. In 1985 Jerry Baldwin bought Peet's. In a few years we upgraded the plant to a Probat 75-kilo and a 240-kilo/R1000.“

Roast Your Own (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„After the notebook, you will want to purchase a roaster. As a homeroaster, you will find it both cumbersome and uneconomical to buy a gas fired Probat or Diedrich roaster. Basically, you want a device that will heat the beans to at least 400 degrees F and be able to do this in an even manner. Some have used their household ovens and stovetop skillets to roast with.“

View topic - Best Roasting Equipment? - Coffee Forum (#)

„Currently, we have the Probat L-25 in our sights, but I wanted to ask you folks if you think there is a better roaster out there. Keep in mind that our stores concept revolves around having an in shop roastery ala the Microbrewery Approach (we have plenty of room, so size is not the issue). Also, the price (40k + 18k for the afterburner) seems kind of high to me.“

„They are exceedingly friendly and lively chaps. John was at the Probat roasting up something delicious, and was eager to talk to me about his setup. John Hornall pulled me a very tasty ristretto, probably the best I've had in Seattle so far. A couple of days ago I went to Vivace and had a ristretto followed by a cappa.“
