I'm just being curious. I'm wondering what people are building, designing or dreaming about. What roaster would like to build? What is your fantasy roaster like? Me? I'm playing around with the idea of using that little centrifugal blower and making a one-pound hot air roaster as a companion for my one-pound sample roaster. 1 pound electric sample roaster, 3 pound direct-flame roaster, both handmade; modified Mazzer Mini grinder, LaSpaziale Vivaldi II automatic espresso machine. When the electricity goes out I make vacpot coffee from beans ground on my Zassenhaus hand grinder, and heat the water with a teakettle on the gas range.

I thought your direct flame roaster is/was a major fantasy roaster! My fantasy roaster is sort of a fish tank fluid bed. Two parallel glass rectangles where the path of heating chamber, roasting chamber, charge hopper, cooler, de-chaffer and maybe even an after-burner all contained and visible through the glass, and all the charging/dumping door mechanisms controlled electronically. Wa'il. 1 Kg PID'ed gas-fired fluid bed roaster, GS/3MPS, K10F

Been rethinking what makes a bean happy ![]() working with top pro roasters now I'm getting into the concept of better batch to batch consistency. a way bigger problem than had thought Edited by farmroast on 07/27/2013 8:18 PM Ed B.

I have already designed the next KKTO V2 roaster Very streamlined and uses every bit of available heat to roast larger batches Apart from commercial offerings I can't find anything that comes close to the Farmroast and KKTO designs KK I home roast and I like it. Designer of the KKTO

Im working @a snails pace on a fluidbed that is encased, uses a heat exchanger and found parts.
Bad coffee prevails when good coffee roasters stand by and do nothing.

I'm working on a 1/2lb Electric Drum and a Gas Glass Tube Fluid Bed. Progress has been slow due to limited resources. I'm trying to piece work whenever I can at work. |

Right now I'm making a couple of small modifications to my 120V/25A, heat-reclaiming, fluid-bed roaster in an effort to roast one-pound of green coffee beans with 1000 watts of heat in under 15 minutes. Today I'll be running a couple of temperature tests, and if the results are as expected, I'll try a decaf roast, and maybe some 'real' coffee when ET (ambient) gets back to 80?F. :
