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.“

  „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.“

Espresso! My Espresso! An Ongoing Internet Novel - CHAPTER 53

  „      Today I just found hot just how hot roasted coffee can get. You are more than aware that I have been testing the Hottop coffee roaster. I went out into the garage this morning to roast another three batches. The first was 250 grams of Yemen Mocha.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „Most retailers do not roast or blend their coffees and are dependent on a wholesale roaster to supply espresso blends for their use. It's important to purchase fresh-roasted beans every week and buy only a week's supply at a time so they are always fresh. The roasting date must be stamped on the bag so the freshness is obvious.“

Defining A Roastmaster (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Thereby degrading your own product. Just as superior coffee is a direct result of good purchasing, superior roasting requires good equipment. Here in America I roast a much wider variety of coffees and roasts than I did in my native Sarajevo, but I use the same equipment (AMBEX Coffee Roasters). By and large we roast the majority of our coffees to an American roast.“
