Virtual Coffee: Update on Roasting at Home (#)

  „Apparently there are also several other manufacturers of home appliances that have their own versions of consumer coffee roasters nearly ready for introduction to the marketplace. The two brave preliminary players are Fresh Roast and Hearthware, whose units came on the market in September through various retail channels, including mail order, big box and specialty retailers. Through the holiday season, I estimate that they will sell at least 50,000 units combined. It may not get the kind of attention that breadmakers did several years ago, but it will probably do better as a category than did yogurt machines back in the late '70s.“

  „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.“

  „Just in case you felt you needed more coffee machinery around your kitchen. Home coffee roasting is actually pretty easy, and takes hardly any time at all. Though it's possible to roast your coffee beans in the oven, in a frying pan or even a popcorn popper , having a proper roaster may be handy for the roasting novice.“

I have tried a couple of other home roasters and was very dissatisfied with the results. Could someome please guide me into a commercial roaster that I will be able to achieve the quality that i now am getting?“
