This is my new DIY roaster. I started roasting a few weeks ago and till now I've been using a bread machine. I had a coupla frustrating experiences with the stirrer stopping before the end of the roast so I made this mostly with stuff I had lying around at home. Also, my wife was seemingly only reluctantly agreeing to let me use the bread machine.
I used it for the first time this weekend. Worked a treat. Only thing I may yet change is the motor, which is WAY overkill. I don't have temp monitoring, but would love to get it rigged up to be able to graph the profiles, that looks like fun. I'm just going for a fairly generic profile using a timer and going by sound & colour, adjusting the heat to get first crack at roughly 12 min and finishing somewhere around 15-18 min depending on the bean and intended colour.
