The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)
„Although co-cupper Christy Thorns (87) felt the Ethiopia citrus and floral notes turned "somewhat passive" under the impact of the roast, she praised the "complex aromatics of ginger, clove and toasted grain" and a spicy finish. Ken also found spice notes also in the aroma (black pepper, clove), but particularly admired the cup for its round mouthfeel and "juicy and sweet but vegetal" character, "a bit like biting into a ripe plum and tasting the skin and the flesh at the same time." What we can take away from all of this is a coffee with less floral and citrus character than a classic wet-processed Ethiopia, but with more spice and tingle.“

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.“

„"Coffee roasting is an art form, is it not?" Darn straight it is! But think on this: As a coffee roaster, you are not trying to create an original piece of work with each roast. In fact, just the opposite.“

„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.“
