Growth in home roasting...

Based on your studies, how much growth has homeroasting experienced in the past say...5 years? ...and what does the future look like? Thanks again, -Scott

When I talk to the companies in Scandinavia selling home roasters, they say the market is growing steadily, but the biggest problem there is actually having a roaster to sell. The Gene Cafe is banned, and so is the Hot Top and Behmore. With what I have been told, mostly because of failing the food grade tests. Hard to grow a market when there is nothing to sell.

The Gene had some issues with the plastics inside the roast chamber. But I have only received info from a single source- might not be 100% accurate. The quest is from what I know not sold in Scandinavia. Its really too bad, as it doesn't help getting the word out about home roasting.

From what I've seen, tinkerers and folks on a budget will typically build. Those that are not mechanical will buy. If buyers get hooked on the experience, they will buy better. The Quest price point seemed high to me....but I'm a tinkerer. It seems like Quest buyers are enjoying the experience, and the price didn't stop them. In some cases, people have spent more on their roaster than they spent on their oven! Cheers, -Scott
