  • KKTO now 305 roast old

    Hi All
    Thought i would share that my KKTO has just hit its 305th roast birthday.
    Still going strong with great consistency.

    The only difference from day 1 is the fact that the turbo oven does not produce as much heat as it once did so i now run the pre heat of the beans at a high temperature and the roast time is a couple of minutes longer than it used to be.

    A great roaster.

    Congratulations Mal
    Glad you are happy with the design and the roaster
    Just curious on your average weight of green beans per roast?
    This is so I/we can work out how many kilos you have roasted so far

      Re: KKTO now 305 roast old

      on average 0.625g per roast as roasts vary from 600 to 650g
      so on that basis about 190KG

      not bad.
      I will be buying another KKTO soon so i have a backup

        It would be good to know how many roasts others have completed on there KKTOs or variants

        I am well over 500 roasts

          I try to keep the clips/contacts on TO tops heating element clean and tight. It can make a significant difference. I had to replace the spades on the wires on my GG top around 500+ roasts. Its still going strong with well over 1000 roasts since 06

                Hey how about that Ed (farmroast) - 1000 + roasts
                I can just imagine how much coffee is running through our veins

                A testament to a great design idea

                  Hey KK running between 2-300 plus now. Roasts are always at least 600g and a number of 1kg roasts - although must say prefer 800g as good safe bet. Still going strong love it..... ;D

                    Congrats on your own personal milestone [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

                    Weather one builds one from scratch, using the plans or gets a kit. Its still the most bang for ones dollar

                    With electricity prices going through the roof it makes sense that 1X 800gr roast will save you money and time
