Roasting Kits, Equipment, and other Stuff (#)

  „We cannot sell West Bend Poppery II corn poppers anymore due to legal wrangling :-(, but I heard a birdie say they are popular as coffee roasters, as you may read about in Ken David's book Home Coffee Roasting , or on many web pages, and discussions on our Home Coffee Roasting email list . Instructions are simple too! PS: Scour the thrift stores for a West Bend original Popper I (it is labeled The Poppery) .“

Amazon.com: Books: Coffee : A Guide to Buying, Brewing, and Enjoying, Fifth Edition

  „Through his three books and informative website (...), Ken Davids is a leading expert on coffees of the world. He is also the green bean guru to home coffee roasters everywhere and it is primarily for them this book was designed. For anyone exploring the many pleasures of roasting their own beans, Davids is the only comprehensive guide available, which makes it particularly maddening that the book hasn't been updated in five years. When Davids wrote the book in 1996, home coffee roasting was beginning its rebirth.“

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.“

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.“

  „Brew: Deep brown with slightly sharp aroma finish. Smooth, with sharp aroma of dark roast but no bitterness. It’s as smooth as the roasters claim: unlike most French Roasts, I can drink a whole pot of this, non-stop, without ODing on the dark roast quality.“
