„Could not agree more pan_man. Tom and the crew at Sweet Marias are a top resource for not only home roasters, but newbies keen to learn more about coffee. The offerings section has detailed cupping notes that should be useful to you. You can even buy roasted beans from Tom...then cup them at home with the notes to help you out with identifying characteristics in the cup.“

„Author note: In the time that I spent researching roast terminology for this piece, I concluded that there is far more diversity than consensus. One roaster’s full city roast is another’s French roast. As a reference point, Kevin Knox’s Central American coffees, roasted in the Coffee Connection tradition, and to what he considers a full city roast to be, are between 65 - 72, using the Agtron scale. The global average SCAA roast is Agtron 42.“

„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.“

„There was a thread on the SM homeroast list yesterday about the Diedrich's roaster seminar. Steve Diedrich told the newbie commercial roasters there to let the roast "coast" to it's endpoint, so stalling out at the roast's end may be a good thing. How did the coffee taste?“

„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.“

„Roaster Watch: After 12 to 13 minutes the beans begin hissing and popping again, and oils rise to the surface. Roasters from the U.S. Northwest generally remove the beans at this point.“
