View topic - One roaster needed - Coffee Forum (#)

  „I can understand the challenge of finding someone qualified. There are two wholesale roasters in my area -- one in the same town, one 60 miles away. I was interested in learning the trade myself, whether I actually ever used it professionally or not, but I couldn't get either one interested in training me -- not even for free labor. I realize that no one wants to train their competition, but that wasn't my intent.“

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.“

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.“

Further Reading and Resources

  „Coffee Technology by Michael Sivetz and Norman DeRosier isn'tvery pertintent to the needs of specialty coffee roasters or the home roaster,but the accompanying mini-book called Coffee Quality is very interesting.It's passionately biased and verges on being a cut-n-paste revolutionarytract!“
