Tea & Coffee 05/03 - Getting the Skinny on Sample Roasters: Part I (#)

  „Well, you have to realize that there’s no way on a single method machine that it’s going to be able to match roast for roast a machine with many variables. But, when it comes to heat transfer, I think it comes darn close to what we all taste in drum roast 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.“

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.“

CoffeeKid - The Current Setup

  „This is its biggest plus, in my opinion. It also does a different style of roast than air roasters like the Hearthware or FreshRoast do. It tends to give more body to the beans that like body, which is good, but also tends to mute bright notes in beans you want to have bright notes in, which isn't so good. Construction is pretty good in the device, and while I expected that there would be a lot more interactive controls on the device (in pictures, it looks like this, but in reality, the control panel is mostly stickers that do nothing, other than a heat and cool button), bottom line is, it does the job.“
