We are very pleased to be able to offer the Alpenrost Home Roaster. This machine is similar to the professional coffee bean roasters in that it is a drum roaster, one of the few designed for the domestic market. It has 15 pre-programmed roasting cycles allowing the consumer to choose their personal favourite roast ranging from a light cinnamon roast through medium roast to dark French roast.
Once you have loaded your green beans into the roasting drum, simply close the lid and touch the green "on" button. The Alpenrost will automatically work through the roasting and cool down cycles, and then eject your freshly roasted beans into its bean cup. An outer thermal coupler regulates the overall roasting temperature based on the outside temperature to ensure a consistent result.
The Alpenrost heating element, contained within the interior of the unit, reaches a temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit while roasting, but the exterior of the unit remains cool to the touch. Once the roasting and cool down cycles are complete the roasting drum is cool enough to handle safely. However it is very important that the roaster is positioned in a well ventilated area or the house will fill with smoke!
The stainless steel roasting drum, plastic bean cup, and ventilation port are all dishwasher safe.
