Gene Cafe Drum Coffee Roaster with 9 lbs. Organic Fair Trade Coffee

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Coffee Roasting
from: Genesis


The Gene Cafe rotating drum roaster was very easy to use right out of the box. I was able to run two different batches of roasting within an hour. This allowed a side by side comparison of a light roast and full city roast using the same bean. The roaster cleans up nicely and only set off the smoke alarm once. The chaff collector is easy to dump out at the end of each roast cycle. The instruction manual had the funniest artwork that made the reading material interesting as well as useful.
The 9 lbs. of coffee was a mixture instead of one kind that I assumed I had ordered (no decaf which is fine for me). Estimate 65-85 lbs of roasting green beans, at $6 per pound, to begin to have this roaster start paying for itself. So for now it will ... Read More:

PAG80273 - Folgers Coffee, Regular, 39 Oz Can

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Coffee Roasting
from: Folgers


One of the favorite places that I frequent when we can afford a nice meal is the The Pungent Moon in Trenton. Besides their steaks and macadamia-encrusted tilapia, one of the best things about the place is the heavenly coffee they serve with their fine desserts. The coffee is actually one of the main reasons we go.

But one night we were there enjoying a meal and we asked for coffee with dessert and we got served this rancid stuff. I almost spit out my first sip all over the table and had to run to the bathroom because I was gagging. I made it back to the table (barely) and asked the waiter what in the wide world of sports happened to the coffee.

He said that they were filming a television commercial for Folger's and they ... Read More:

FreshRoast Plus 8 Home Coffee Roaster with 1 lb. Sumatra Takengon Organic Green Coffee

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Coffee Roasting
from: Freshbeans, Inc.


I've only been using mine for a few days now, but it's every bit as easy as I've read elsewhere, and mine hasn't even produced hardly any smoke. I haven't gone as far as a super-oily roast yet, so I'm sure that's why. But I've got several small jars of varyingly dark beans and they all smell great.

This thing really does not roast much in one session. Depending on how you make coffee you're looking at 1-3 pots at most from a single roast (I get two pots and have a tiny bit of leftover beans). But it's so easy to use this thing, even despite the recommended cooldown period between roasts, that I've been using it every day, so I've got no shortage of roasted beans to try.

Biggest disadvantage I've found so far is the ... Read More:

FreshRoast +8 Home Coffee Roaster with 5 lbs. Green Coffee

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Coffee Roasting
from: Freshbeans, Inc.


This small fluid-bed appliance is one efficient; easy to use coffee bean roaster. You pour your Tolima Colombian green beans into the 43cc scoop twice, spilling them into the small roasting chamber. Plug it in. Turn the timer knob to seven minutes and that's it. A stream of hot air does the rest. It's virtually silent, emanates a nice rich smell and it's smoke-free--if you put the chaff collectors & the roast chamber into the dishwasher after each roasting project. The green beans slowly turn kaki, then light brown and finally (after the second crack) a dark shiny brown. Pour dem roasted coffee beans into the grinder cup of your automatic grind and brew coffee maker--pour in twelve cups of filtered water--set the timer--and it's incredibly fresh ... Read More:

Coffee Bean Roaster - Fresh Roast

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Coffee Roasting
from: Fresh Roast


My passion for an ever better cup of coffee inspired me to purchase this machine. Warning: once you master the basics, and it's not difficult, all other coffee will pale by comparison. This is primarily because coffee loses much of it's flavor three days after roasting. You will be able to purchase green coffee suited to your tastes, and roast according to your consumption. Now for the nitty gritty:

Pros:

Inexpensive. In this price range, you have your choice between this machine or a modified corn popper (don't bother), a few hundred dollars for a slightly better arrangement featuring an agitating auger and catalytic converter to handle the smoke, or several hundred+ for a drum unit. For less than 100 bucks you can produce coffee every ... Read More:

FreshRoast Plus 8 Home Coffee Roaster with 1 Lb. Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Organic Green Coffee

Childrens Toy Shop > Kitchen & Housewares > Coffee Roasting
from: Freshbeans, Inc.


The FreshRoast is a decent little roaster for someone who doesn't try to do anything fancy. It really doesn't do anything more than a hot air popcorn popper does, but costs a whole lot more.

You have to be very careful with the amount of beans you put in, as overloading it at all will result in lots of smoke and burned beans.

My only real complaint is that this thing is very fragile. I have had the bottom come off when removing the roasting chamber, making a huge mess. The roasting chamber will also break without much provocation, and they are about $25 to replace.

For the average home roaster, I find that the I-Roast is a much better bargain, more durable and does a lot more.
