Tea & Coffee 07/04 - The Craft of Espresso Roasting Part I (#)
„The guy who we buy our roasters from, our main roaster is modeled after a Farina, tells us that some roasters in Italy overload the roaster in fact, to draw out the roast even longer. Of course, this may be motivated by production goals as well as roast profile.” DiRuocco also pointed out the longer roast effects the final shot of espresso in very tangible ways, “We’ve made shots from coffee we roast for drip brewed and it doesn’t extract well, the crema will be lousy and the water will go right through it. It really depends, there’s always exceptions, but the way an espresso roast extracts has a lot to do with the roast profile.”“

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.“

„A skilled coffee roaster knows exactly what a given roast profile will do to the taste of coffee. Try to connect with some local "artisan" roasting companies. The purpose is to receive (free) training on their roasting machines in exchange for help with packaging the coffee, cleaning and/or repair work.“

Roasting Less Than 8 oz. In the Alpenrost: Home Coffee Roasting: Sweet
„Experienced roaster/operators can use the Alpenrost to test smaller samples of green beans by doing a "manual roast." This technique will allow the roaster to roast in smaller quantities (IE: 125gr. /4oz.) rather than the “recommended 225gr. /8oz.“
