Which Roaster to Buy
Looking to ramp up my production of roasted beans for personal use, friends and a really small side business (5-10lbs/mo). I currently have a $100 100g air roaster made specifically for coffee Roasting (Apoxcon on Amazon). I feel like flavor is lacking even though I have made some good roast on it. Also, unit is acting up and surprised it lasted this long. I’ve done over 20lbs of coffee on it.
Looking to get a drum roaster.. can’t decide between Gene Cafe and Sandbox Smart R1. I would like Artisan or at least software to see the curve and also profile. Which do you recommend or if I am missing something else? ***Coffee Roast Co has a 8% off Spring sale until Friday on Sandbox.
Would like to stay under $800 USD. Not interested in modding a machine unless it’s easy to do and not pushing my budget. One day I’ll be able to get the Kaleido or Bullet
