We'll have to keep an eye on this project, for sure:

Initial thoughts....
1. What about resting the roast?
2. If the roaster is good, then I'll let the roast rest and skip the grind and brew. If the roaster isn't good, then I'll skip it all.
3. How much control does the roaster give the owner?
4. What's the capacity? Only a cup at a time?

From the website:
"After 2 years of burning beans we found the perfect temperature to time relation and finally perfected the art of roasting in this small machine. We use a rotary system within a high-alloyed stainless steel container and an air vent system that absorbs the smoke and only unleashes the scent of freshly roasted coffee beans."

Fixed profile? Flexible?

Check out the video at 2:05 -- looks a lot like a KKTO-style agitation chamber and sweep arm.

Cheers,
David
