Hottop Roaster KN-8828P-2K (No Longer Available)
rroehrig	#1 Posted on 07/22/2018 1:22 PM
Newbie Posts: 12 Joined: July 17, 2018	Was looking at several used Hottop model KN-8828P-2K machines and I'm finding out from Hottop that this model has been discontinued. Anyone know a reason why? Guess Hottop only sells the B and the 2K+ models now. I realize the P is the programed model, but am not sure why this would be discontinued. Is there something negative about this machine?

If you find a good deal I believe that you can replace the P-2K control panel with the B-2K panel. There have been changes so check with Hottop for details before purchasing. www.EspressoMyEspresso.com Life's too short to drink bad coffee.

The only difference between the B-2K and the P-2K is the control panel and those are interchangeable with the possible exception that the control panel side cover may also need to be changed depending on which control panels are available. www.EspressoMyEspresso.com Life's too short to drink bad coffee.
