I need about a pound a week for espresso shots For utter convenience what machine should I concentrate my efforts? For the bread maker do you bypass the circuitry and add a switch for the paddle and the heating element? Seems the bread maker is a nice compact unit that could be bullet proof Thank you Cam

You forgot Turbo Oven, the obvious answer Bread Maker is too compact, imo, coffee is roasted by hot air, the beans have to be fully exposed in hot air, not stacked in multiple layers and scarcely get the heat from surrounding beans. The one liter can of a BM machine should be filled with maximum 200 grams, not more than 500 how I seen people is cramming and report good results.

For this reason, look for a model that has as standard feature accessory the stainless steel extender ring, see here: https://www.wayfa...h1048.html This ring, placed on top of a backing tray, similar to this: https://www.emag....DQ0B22BBM/ ... will become the future oven. Resulting volume is 9 litres, if the whole assembly height is 11 cm. Outer insulation made from wool will help saving energy, but is mandatory. Inside this oven place an ikea steamer code 30152346, that will be the roasting pot. Add the agitator motor and you are done. The above described is my current setup for more than two years.
