Hi All
I've been roasting for a few years now on various equipment (currently a Behmor) but lately I've been thinking it's time to step things up a bit. I'm not looking to roast massive quantities but I'm looking for something that will give me proper control over roast temps/profiles. I have dreams of one day having a go at a small roasting side-business and the idea of this roaster is to be a step in between a Behmor and a proper commercial roaster. Something that will allow me to learn as well as to get an indication whether or not such a business would be something that I'd actually want to do.
I'm willing to consider any recommendations but so far my research has led me along the following lines:
1) Yang Chia/Bella Taiwan mini 500
2) Santoker 500
Basically I'm looking for gas-powered, moderate level of roast control and 0.5-1kg capacity (mainly for price and wastage considerations)
So far I have tried the obvious searches and CS sponsor websites but I'm struggling to find Australian importers for such roasters (although I have initiated discussions with a company in NSW over the North TJ-066). Most seem to be either in the style of basic home roasters or higher-end commercial roasters. Is anyone able to point me in the right direction here? Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't really see anything along these lines.
Thanks
