Roasters (Machines)

I wrote the user and roasting guide for Bella Barista, I don’t have the rights to sell it. You need to explain to Bella barista that you contacted me and I have referred you to them. It’s possible the...

Last of the Ethiopian heirloom today.

I am selling my previous roaster on here. Doesn’t have sensors etc but I thoroughly enjoyed using it. https://coffeetime.freeflarum.com/d/2997-bocaboca-250g-coffee-roaster-bean-cooler/7

I suspect you lack the ability to check the relay, apart from visually to see if it’s closing, I’m not even sure how I would check it. I would probably get a replacement fom RS components or whatever ...

Seems they currently have a promotional price on it.

It’s been a long while since I updated this but carried on roasting and really happy with the results. It’s such a great little roaster even though I had doubts when ordering it 16 months ago ! I am h...

thanks Doram, I do think one can be fairly confident that with the volume professional roasters go through, they have more access to greens and probably easier to get samples too. On another note, I’v...

You 100% can roast better coffee at home than many commercial roasts for under £20kg a kilo… unless I’ve been living in a dream world for the last 9 months and imagining it. The last greens I bought w...

I roast under the extractor now too, the smell definitely doesn’t stick around and assuming you can keep the door closed to the kitchen we’re able to keep it limited to one room. I will say though tha...

yeh cheers. Did have a look at this one. Looks nice.

Could well be possible! Given the speed of the initial rise (I’m sure the 15 watts from using the switch made all the difference) first crack was under 10 minutes, so I’m hopeful I just expertly adjus...

Just had the pennine Yirgacheffe, it’s nice, surprisingly sweet, but not quite as definitively fruity, much lighter in flavour than the rocko mountain. But perhaps I just roasted it poorly! Perhaps on...

yes it is meant for both sample roasting and personal consumption. It is not perfect but overall very nice package. Fits my needs perfectly

Im wondering guys ,roast profile for lighter roast ?Did anyone manage roast fruity naturals?I know sweetmarias videos,but im wondering from your experience.

hey ricky bobby, for sure! I don’t have a printer either, but printed them at a commercial printer for £15 a piece. It’s the box for cable connected device, and not the battery one. Where about do you...

The chinesium stuff always seems to say 220V, but the stuff I have had works fine on 240V in the UK, which likes to pretend it’s really 230V. It’s a nonsense isn’t it.

can’t seem to add images. is it possible?If so, how?

Ok..thanks, Dave.

Totally agree. I received the following information from the engineering team at FreshRoast Home Roasting: “In normal operation , rated current is 14.5A (1750W/120V=14.5A) , while rated current of cor...

Updating this again with further positive experiences with the Ikawa after a month of use and about 4kg roasted. I’ve now started using non-Ikawa beans and despite expecting disappointing results I’ve...
