500g Coffee Bean Roaster Machine with Timer, 110V

I bought the my first one about 3 1/2 years ago and it just failed. I roasted about 200 pounds of coffee with it over that time. It works well and, considering the price, the failure while disappointing was worth it. Since they are inexpensive, I have a spare on hand.

You have nice control over temp and time. It takes time to learn the process and how you like your beans! Variety of bean is important as well. I found Bolivian beans to have a nice flavor and roasts nicely. My favorite process: set temp to 220 degrees C. Let warm up for a few minutes. Put green coffee beans in and let roast for 23 minutes. Every 5-6 minutes sweep the beans on outer edge into middle. This allows for a more consistent roast. To cook beans after the 23 minutes, I use a colander. This allows the beans to cool quickly and also helps get the chaff out as you shake. I do all of this outside as smoke from roasting can get strong and the chaff is really messy! Enjoy:))

1 pound coffee, 220-230 degrees C on the dial. Maybe 20 minutes from power on, to power off and cooling with a fan. I think that's too slow according to what I've read for roast times but seems to be when second crack hits its peak. Another 10-20 minutes for cooling. If you watch my video, the fan is pointed up initially, just to move smoke away. Don't want any of that moving air affecting the roasters ability to heat up too much. Only when the lid is removed and it's time for cooling, I lean it down directly on the beans, on low, after blowing the smoke away. It's a janky setup but I'm pretty happy with it. For cleaning, wipe the lid with a paper towel and put in dishwasher. The roaster itself wipes clean (enough for me) with just a dish towel. Sometimes the agitator arm pinches beans between the ends of its arms and the walls of the roaster. It jiggles to unstick automatically, but sometimes it struggles. So far it hasn't gotten permastuck, but that could be a bummer if you had to unlid to unstick it, and lose a bunch of heat midroast.

I am a small Kona coffee grower and I roast about 100 pounds a year. That's enough for our consumption and some for gifts to friends. That amount is also too small for you "big" roasters, which are quite costly. I have been using these types of roasters, from various manufacturers for a couple of years now. I usually get about 50 pounds out of one before either the rotating/reversing mixer arm breaks or the heating element dies. The differences between this models and others do make a difference. The heating/mixing pan is straight sided, which gives you more surface area for the same amount of beans. This seems to better distribute the heat, makes for shallower depth of the beans, and more consistent heating. Another difference is the stirring arms. These are straight instead of curved, more sturdy, and there is no "tip bar" for when beans get too high. Curved arms will pile beans up, where this straight does not seem to do so. The arms also rotate at a slower speed which seems to extend contact with the heating surface and better creates consistent roast. It will be some time before I can see how long the heating element lasts, but given the lower price point for this unit, if it last 50 pounds worth like the others, it is a good deal.

Can’t even get product support!!!! The thing broke after only the 3rd time used ! Do NOT PURCHASE because it’s a waste of money and you can’t even get anyone to help you resolve the issue!!!! The support video is for a coffee brewer haha what a joke!!! BUT We did find the issue…. the ceramic part that spins the arm is already broken after only the third use!! Does anyone know where we could get a replacement part since we can’t even get in contact with the company ???

My first time roasting coffee and this made it as easy as possible. I roasted about a 1/2 lb with it. Basically no setup required and cleanup was a breeze. I’d highly recommend it.

This cooker worked fine but at just under 2 years, the gears are not turning the wand (might be stripped) and because the gear is under the plate it's not accessible. And the knob on the lid broke. All this happened at the same time. 3 stars for the fact it did what it was supposed to; we roast beans weekly. But like most Chinese products, the most you'll get out of it is maybe two years of constant use. These products need to be made better. Especially for eighty-five bucks.

I’ve roasted in cast iron pan, a drum inside a rotisserie machine and a ceramic Nuvo stove top toaster. The Nuvo is the best for small batches, but this roaster is best for larger batches. I find I can get a very consistent roast with 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound by using the same roasting profile over and over. It does take a little longer than the frying pan, but you don’t have to stand there stirring constantly. Also, the smoke and chaff is much more manageable. All in all, a cost effective way to roast coffee at home. My favorite profile: 450 grams Temp 240 c. Preheat 3 minutes Sweep in @ 7 & 15 Time 23 minutes I sweep in the beans from the outside edge a couple of time, which enables a much more consistent roasting color. Otherwise the outside beans end up lighter.

Nosotros producimos café para nuestro propio consumo y hasta el momento llevo dos meses utilizándolo y me a funcionado a la perfección

En realidad si funciona tuesta el café parejo

Me gustó lo practico y eficiente.

En realidad se pueden tostar hasta 1000 grs de grano... La recomiendo ampliamente!!

Si tienes un gusto especial por el café este instrumento te lo facilita
