My first post
... although ive been a member for a while now, I am in need of some help from all you pros out there in Coffee Roasting land.
After reading through the messages on this thread I notice a lot of people use Popcorn poppers to roast their own beans, however I am wondering if there are any purpose built machines out there specifically designed for home roasting coffee beans?
I am not talking about a high level semi professional roaster or anything serious, but surely there must be a purpose built machine to roast small amounts of beans at a time for the average home newbie roaster?
Can anyone recommend any websites for this sort of equipment? Does anyone own a dedicated coffee bean roaster themselves, if so I would be most interested in finding out how your roasts have turned out compared to other roasting methods (ie. popping in a popcorn maker).
Maybe in saying all this I am better off using a popcorn maker because that seems to the common thing to do - but to my mind it just seems a little odd using something that is not designed specifically for roasting coffee beans to do just that.
Maybe I really am just being a snob
ANY help would be really appreciated, thanks in advance!
