I never start with high heat and high fan for the drying phase. High fan, low heat, and bring up slowly. I do decaf which is more heat sensitive but I never do any coffee this way. But there are a lot of ways to do it
So you started the roast 1:12 into the video so your roast for 1/2 lb lasted about 5 mins. Does that seem a bit fast for malabar beans. I was told these low density beans benefit from a low heat/slow start. Did the beans come out creamy and rich or a little flat tasting with sourness for espresso (I also have a breville barista express). Also wondering what was the outside temp since from what I could tell your machine chamber temps were staying pretty high?
The is one of the better, if not best demos of maintaining a steady temperature increase while balancing the kinetics to maximize evenness. Too often people are fixated on curves via probes and readouts given in Artisan, and while there isn't anything wrong with either per se, it's a bit of a shoot to trust those numbers for such a small machine where the airflow is all over the place. Well done!
a machine that can do a great homogeneous roast. No home roasting machine sales in Turkey. Shipping is very expensive, almost the same price as the product. If the popcorn machine It sucks, in seconds, coffee is coal. We wish you delicious coffees.
Hi! does this create a lot of smoke? I have a screened in patio on my apartment but I'd have to crack the door to plug in the roaster to an outlet inside. I just don't want to buy one before figuring that part out!
@@coffeeauthority No I mean roasting for espresso extraction. I've heard fluid bed roasting produces brighter coffees and not as good for espresso. Has this been your experience?
@@mtnpwny No not at all. In fact all I drink is espresso and espresso based drinks and have had no issues, as long as I let the beans de-gas for at least 3 days.
I was about to order a popcorn machine for coffee roasting and now I come across this video! Haha! What are your thoughts after using this machine? Is it worth the investment over a popcorn machine or are the results similar? Thanks for your insight!
Well Im glad you saw this first.. keep in mind this was $250 vs $20 for a popcorn popper. If you like light to medium roasts, you will have a very hard time with a popper (it goes too fast) but if you like darker roasts a popper will work just fine. My advice is get the popper first and try it.. the most you will lose is $20.
@@coffeeauthority that makes perfect sense. After reading your comment I'd rather spend $20 to see if I would take a liking to the roasting hobby rather than forking out some decent money and not enjoy it. What beans would you recommend to pair with a popper?
Buy this roaster and the extension tube. If you don't like it, you can sell them on fleabay for nearly what you paid for it. Pandemic coffee hobbyists abound.

I just got one of these for Christmas, any advice for a getting lighter or medium roast?

If you watch closely there are several breaks in the video where he skipped ahead.

Merhaba my Turkish friend.. yes this is a great machine.

Not much if you roast light to medium. Darker roasts slightly more but not much. You will smell it inside for sure but wont het smoky.
@@coffeeauthority ah awesome thank you!
Do you get a lot of smoke from this machine?
No not much, but i roast outside.
How long did that roasting take? It looked like there was some fast forwarding.
Yes there was some editing. Generally speaking about 6 min to first crack, about 9-10 min overall
@@coffeeauthority Thank you!
Can you roast for espresso and get good results?
I assume you mean a dark roast, and the answer is yes.. just takes a bit longer

@@damianhbk1 im not sure of origin but I would buy washed beans because they produce less chaf but other than that, I think they all work fine.

I have the 800 and have yet to produce anything as tasty as my 3$ thrift store popper roasts. Beans always look good but just no body or soul.
What’s wrong with the digital display? Why is it blinking like that? Can’t really see what the fan speed/heat are.
That seems too full to me -- barely any movement at the beginning
I followed the guidelines but i think the beans are a bit heavy/ wet. Once they start to dry, lots of movement in the chamber.
