Anyway, aren't they prototyping an already-built Probat roaster? http://www.probat...ifugal.php CHAD Edited by seedlings on 05/31/2011 2:33 PM Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster Grinder: Vintage Grindmaster 500 Brewers: Vintage Cory DCU DCL, Aeropress, Press, Osaka Titanium pourover

Deja vu - I remember a loooong discussion about centrifugal roasters way back; I think it was 2008? and yes Chad, this does look just like the Saturn. I still think it's a great idea for a roaster (just tricky to build). Brian

'Bowl' is the type for this topic. CHAD Roaster: CoffeeAir II 2# DIY air roaster Grinder: Vintage Grindmaster 500 Brewers: Vintage Cory DCU DCL, Aeropress, Press, Osaka Titanium pourover
