500g Coffee Bean Roaster Machine with Timer, 110V

Works great

I bought the my first one about 3 1/2 years ago and it just failed. I roasted about 200 pounds of coffee with it over that time. It works well and, considering the price, the failure while disappointing was worth it. Since they are inexpensive, I have a spare on hand.

I made espresso, medium and French roast on my first day. I used 250 grams for each batch. I tried 375 grams for a batch intended for espresso, however, after 35 to 40 minutes I started cooling, however it was not at espresso or Italian roast level. I di have succes with ac250 gram batch of espresso. A brown bit stuck to the base, and a bit of Teflon came off with it. At the ends of the rotating bar, a single coffee bean gets stuck at both ends of the bar between the bar and the sides of the roaster. As the beans roast, they expand and this causes the bar to reverse direction in an attempt to clear the obstruction (good feature). Unfortunately towards the end of the roast, it shuts off when the bean expands enough to jam it. It is difficult to remove at this point. The coffe I made from Guatemala beans came out very good. My first time roasting coffee, the aroma was not as expected (didn't smell like coffee) until an hour after roasting. Overall, I'm happy with the unit, but I would not leave unattended during roasting.

I am a small Kona coffee grower and I roast about 100 pounds a year. That's enough for our consumption and some for gifts to friends. That amount is also too small for you "big" roasters, which are quite costly. I have been using these types of roasters, from various manufacturers for a couple of years now. I usually get about 50 pounds out of one before either the rotating/reversing mixer arm breaks or the heating element dies. The differences between this models and others do make a difference. The heating/mixing pan is straight sided, which gives you more surface area for the same amount of beans. This seems to better distribute the heat, makes for shallower depth of the beans, and more consistent heating. Another difference is the stirring arms. These are straight instead of curved, more sturdy, and there is no "tip bar" for when beans get too high. Curved arms will pile beans up, where this straight does not seem to do so. The arms also rotate at a slower speed which seems to extend contact with the heating surface and better creates consistent roast. It will be some time before I can see how long the heating element lasts, but given the lower price point for this unit, if it last 50 pounds worth like the others, it is a good deal.

It does what you would expect it to do. I've had this product for a couple of years and still working properly.

Can’t even get product support!!!! The thing broke after only the 3rd time used ! Do NOT PURCHASE because it’s a waste of money and you can’t even get anyone to help you resolve the issue!!!! The support video is for a coffee brewer haha what a joke!!! BUT We did find the issue…. the ceramic part that spins the arm is already broken after only the third use!! Does anyone know where we could get a replacement part since we can’t even get in contact with the company ???

My first time roasting coffee and this made it as easy as possible. I roasted about a 1/2 lb with it. Basically no setup required and cleanup was a breeze. I’d highly recommend it.

I have been home-roasting coffee for more than 30 years and I highly recommend doing it. I also have a very good roaster (Hot Top $1700), which I am pleased with. But my oldest son bought one of these roasters and likes it, so I bought one to try it out. Admittedly, the price of this is great and it seems well made! However, the instructions that come with the roaster are no use at all and I'm sure that a first-time user would have no idea what to do. My son's personal instructions are: Set the temperatures at 220C, allow it to warm up for 5 minutes, then pour in 1-cup of green coffee beans. Let it run for about 20 minutes or until all the beans have popped. * It's best used outdoors or in a well-ventilated place. * The glass cover should be washed in a dish washer after every use (clouds quickly). The flavor is interesting... the cover locks in a lot of the smokiness.
