Thanks for the addition to the group. Seriously considering building a drum roaster along the lines of oldgrumpus's. Love the design and craftsmanship.

What roaster would you like to build next?

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.

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

1/4 Pounder Posts: 50 Location: Joined: June 19, 2013	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.

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 1128 Location: Go Colts! Joined: February 10, 2011	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. : oldgearhead attached the following image: No oil on my beans...
