Review on ☕ Efficient 750g Electric Coffee Roaster Machine: Ideal Home Coffee Bean Roaster for 110V Use by Amber Robinson

There are a number of similar roasters on the market. However, this device comes with minimal instructions, which are not enough to learn how to roast coffee. So you'll have to look at other devices that look something like this to figure out what to do. This unit seems to hold a maximum of 250g of coffee, while I would start with 100 or a quarter pound. A typical coffee roast temperature is 240°F, and then you can increase it to 350, which is the first crack as it's called, and slightly higher to get a medium roast. Apparently if you take it to 450 you get an espresso roast. The manuals for these machines tell you nothing. You get a lid with a handle that you screw onto the temperature-controlled base with a built-in stirrer to agitate the beans as they roast. Roasting on an inclined or vertical surface will result in a more even roasting of the beans, but it will be flat. There is a spot where you can insert a thermometer that you want to use to make sure you've reached the correct frying temperature. I have a feeling you'd probably be better off with a device that gives you a lot more instruction manuals. I've tried roasting twice, the first time doing a light roast I couldn't get past what they call the first crack. It was very light, as a Turkish coffee can be, a light rosy brown. I did some more reading and the espresso I'm trying to make goes a little further than what they call a second pop, which is a louder pop of beans and happens about 10 minutes into the roast, maybe a bit later. You were warned not to go any further than the second crack lest you get charred beans, no roasted beans. I used a bag of Brazilian green beans and the roast was very uneven, although I shook the machine and also had it spin to make sure all the beans touched the fryer. I believe this is the flat broiler's fault, not the drum. The other interesting thing is that a lot of the drum roasters you see have open holes and I think to make sure the chaff floats and the chaff is there. I tossed my roasted beans up with a large spoon about a minute after they hit the second crack to make sure the heat was distributed and the roasting could continue with the heat of the beans, which happened, they darkened. But some beans are much lighter than others. And the sieve I put them in let the chaff into the big bowl I put underneath. So when you pour your coffee make sure you put it in the strainer over the big bowl as you will end up with a really messy granola. . The smell of roasted coffee differs from that of freshly brewed or freshly ground coffee. Pretty strong smell of burnt vegetation and you will read of people wanting to grill in the garage or outside and trust me you will understand because the house will smell like this for hours due to the oily nature of the oil. couples. It's a very penetrating scent. If you have a pregnant woman in your home I would not recommend indoor roasting as anyone sensitive to feelings and sensory issues will find the smell very distracting. good brew. It was actually very nice. The Brazilian bean selection is quite traditional, they are weaker and more acidic than Colombian or Central American beans and they roast very well for espresso. allows you to roast the beans to about a third of a pound of raw beans. In addition, the machine is simply uneven and cannot fry well. You should learn about the process as there are no instructions included with the device. I will say it works.
