Reading a review of a roaster today, I came across the following quote
This is exactly what Ive found from the home-roast coffee Ive tried from a number of sources - even though there are some palates that prefer coffee that way, mine isnt such a fan. So does roasting like a professional require professional equipment? My dream is probably a sample roaster, but if it cost $15000, Id be $16000 short right now, and while I know I have to learn somewhere if I start, Im just about to start living in a flat, and not happy drinking sub-standard coffee. So is your popper roast guilty of the above? What about a Gene? Or a Hotptop? Or Dudley? And how many roasts do you have under your belt to learn to master them?
These days I generally don’t enjoy coffee roasted in domestic hot air equipment. I find these coffees tend to be harsh, underdeveloped and lacking in complexity
