Coffee Bean Roaster Machine for Home Use, Coffee Roaster Machine with Timing, 110V 1200W

Noise level is pretty low for a coffee roaster. It's very user friendly, requiring little to no experience to use. I leave the lid slightly askew to reduce moisture buildup.

I originally purchased in 2021. Tips: I have learned to use full temp and just put the timer on the full time and stay with the beans. I roast no more than 12 oz at a time. 8-12 oz roasts quickly and much more evenly. I have successfully roasted all sorts of beans and have learned to cup to taste with this roaster. My roaster has finally died. It was well worth the money over 3 years time, so I just purchased a new one after looking carefully at reviews and capacities of other roasters. I've gone from 4 years ago roasting in a cast iron skillet to this.Options I wish it had: stainless steel inside instead of teflon. Teflon makes me nervous. So this is the only thing I use that has it. I wish it had a chaff remover. My husband just ordered one for me. :) I've been using a collandar for 4 years. I wish the display was digital. I wish the arm only went clockwise. I see no benefit to counter clockwise. But those features would make the roaster $$$. So, I'm happy. :)Overall, this baby does the job and is at a reasonable price.

Edited: I've roasted several batches to perfection, I decided to get a spare so I can still have great coffee in case one malfunctions.I have a set up now that includes a square shallow roasting pan and the bean cooler. My makeshift funnel wasn't quite doing the job. I pour the beans into the roasting pan directly from the roaster. It's wide so there is no spillage and it's metal so the hot beans won't melt it.Then I pour them from the roaster into the bean cooler, which is easy with the square corners of the roaster. I've included a pic of my roasting setupI gave up roasting coffee when I got the behmor, before that I was doing small batches with a popcorn popper.This thing works great! I can't speak to the longevity at this point but I imagine I will get another when this one dies.I use 300-320 grams of beans and set the temp 240-220, I watch it the entire time and tweak the temp. Probably don't need to do that. My beans are done about 25 minutes. A nice even roast. I've just been going to city, but I have enough confidence that I'm going to go a little longer when I get my next batch of beans.I use it in conjunction with the bean cooler. The challenge is getting the beans in the cooler. I dump them into a bowl that's wider than this roaster, then I use one of those flexible plastic cutting board sheets as kind of a funnel to pour them into the cooler.

Worked for a year. Then overheated and won't work anymore. I guess that is what you get when you buy cheap Chinese crap. Won't let me return because it has been to long.

The media could not be loaded. My Gene cafe heating element failed. After more than a decade of many forgotten blackened batches as well as delicious batches. I don't blame the machine for it's early death. Today the gene cafe is $650 and this cafe masy roaster is $100.. good reviews? Check. Price point? Check. Why not? Made the first batch today. 325 grams from sweet Maria's. First crack in 7.75 minutes.the temp settings are in Celsius and it says highest is 260c which is 500 F. It gets plenty hot enough for roasting coffee. And it makes popcorn! :) I preheated about 5 minutes. I used a glass lid from my kitchen because I can't figure out where I set the clear glass lid that came with this cafe masy. It works fine and I have coffee. I like that it doesn't have a fan because you can really hear first and second crack. For condensation on the lid I one time near he end of an 8 minute roast lifted the lid and wiped away condensation. Condensation never dropped in the coffee before I wiped it away. I just wanted a better view through the clear lid to watch the progress. I give this little guy who does a way bigger roast than my previous noisier Gene Cafe a 5 out of 5. But I hope you have some roasting knowledge. The instructions for roasting are non existent . But the only assembly is screwing the handle on the lid that came with it. Which I will do when I find where I set it😂

I've been using this roaster for a while, 2 batches about every two weeks, roasting for espresso use, so a bit darker than what some may want. My roasts are usually 15-18 mins. My personal tips for use are: 1. I roast 200 grams of green coffee beans at a time. 2. I set temperature about 230 on the dial; you can use higher temp and roast faster, but I find that makes a less uniform roasting. 3. Make sure the arms are rotating clock-wise (if not, use a wooden utensil to block it momentarily so that it reverses direction); the outer/convex portion should be moving through the beans, not the curved/hooked/concave direction. I find this to better move the beans around for better roasting uniformity. 4. cock the lid so that the edge sits just below the two screws holding the metal arm inside the roasting area. This leave a small gap around the upper edge, and it lets the lighter chaff be pushed out. I use a small brush to push them off as the beans roast, then clean up when roasting is done. 5. Turn heat off a few mins before you are ready to cool the beans down. I then dump the beans into a large colander and swish/sway move beans around until they've cooled. The colander helps to cool and remove the remaining chaff (small bits of chaff remain, though very little.) This has worked well for me. If you want to roast for regular coffee, I would still aim for about 15 mins, just use a temperature to match your desired roast level.
