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

Where have all the pan roasters gone?

Everyone intimidated by more "sophisticated" roasting methods or what? Well, I'm a cast iron skillet roaster and I'm not ashamed. :) For larger batches (8-16 oz) I actually use a dutch oven (fewer escapees LOL). For smaller batches (5-7 oz) I use a cast iron fryer pot. Gas stove on slightly higher than medium heat. The range hood handles the smoke because I replaced the fan motor with a stronger one. Usually keep a constant flame throughout, but with some coffees I ramp up for the first crack. Seems that 8 minute drying phase and 1C at 12 minutes works best. For larger beans I need a slightly larger flame to hit that mark and vice versa. Stir with a large whisk very briskly. Even with the higher sides of the dutch oven and frying pot I still get some escapee beans. Cool by pouring back and forth between two wire mesh strainers outside. Chaff gets removed during this operation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A morning without coffee is like a marriage without a honeymoon.

It is a simple process that takes some mechanical effort and gained knowledge of coffee roasting. People seem to like over-engineering and automating things and you can't get any simpler than pan roasting. ---Jack KKTO Roaster.
