The new hobby

COFFEE ROASTING.......not only is it cheaper it taste better!!!!!


"Big" 1 lb Batch roaster

This is the Whirly Pop Popcorn maker modified with a motor (torn out of a nut roaster I found for $7) and an older thermocouple. With the motor and the thermocouple it's a hands free roast allowing me to pay closer attention to the temperature and stove setting. Resulting in roast profiles of perfection.






Small 1/4 lb batch roaster.

The small batch roaster is a fluid bed (jet of hot air) roaster made from a $3 popper from Goodwill and the same model thermocouple. My dad and I used a dimmer switch to control the fan and separated the two heating coils for more adjustable temperature.
