In the market for a drum roaster.

Also want it to be able to plug into a computer so that I can create profiles and save them. With the proper temp probes as well. Just really want to roast coffee so that I can start selling in the future. Any recommendations you guys have would be great! I?m willing to pay around $1000 max.

One kilo roasters are double or triple what you want to pay and they all have the USB for Artisan or their own proprietary software. You can look up Ailio Bullet and Jake Kilo (coming soon I hear) but both are upper 2000 range to mid 3000 range machines. HTH...

The drum is 8 litres, good for 1-1.2 kg.

I don't know any company having an entry and an advanced roaster for same capacity. Imo, the best money spent now under 1 kg are on Cormorant roaster.
