How To Buy Colorado Coffee Roasters

By Jocelyn Davidson


Home roasting presents people with many benefits making it to be enjoyed by people from various places worldwide. Personal preferences are different in as much as quality and taste of coffee is concerned. Making a choice about a roaster can be very difficult, but with the information in this article, the choice becomes easier. Although producers of roasters are several, Colorado coffee roasters are among the best in the market.

The worst mistake one can make as far as home roasting is concerned is to buy the wrong type of a roaster. This mistake may require one to invest in a second machine if they take their roasting seriously. Some individuals still prefer using manual means of roasting. This can be quite hectic and time consuming especially if the job has to be done on a daily basis.

Fully automated machines that can handle all tasks in the absence of the user do not exist in the market. One should know this before setting out to buy a roaster. Although sellers and adverts claim that fully automatic devices exist, that is false since roasting involves several variables that need close monitoring. Some people use popcorn poppers and stoves for the job although the quality of the roast can be adversely affected by such devices.

Roasting is more involving than just putting the machine on, loading beans, and walking away, leaving it to do the rest. Skills and attention are needed for one to know a complete and an incomplete roast. Normally, a complete roast can be determined by the color, sound, and smell of the beans. One must keep various factors in mind when buying a roaster. Major factors are quality given, capacity, frequency of roasting, and type of machine.

Basically, the roaster model used determines the properties of a roast. Roasters fall under two broad categories, that is, fluid air and drum roasters. For home use, fluid bed machines are the best because they are small and compact. They work with minimal fuss and the speed of roasting is high too. When roasting, it is unnecessary to monitor the process by standing over them.

Also, the cost of air based devices is lower in comparison to drum-based brands. They are best for home roasting especially for individuals with little experience or skills. Controls are simple and easily accessible. Since beans can be seen by the user, their appearance and color can be used to tell if the roast is complete. Cheaper air-based models are advisable for novice users before they can upgrade to complex models, which are expensive.

On the contrary, drum roasters are bigger and more suited for large scale use. They can support large roasts, although when compared to air-based devices, they work at a slower rate. They rely on conduction or convection techniques to roast beans placed in them. Beans are normally placed inside the holder and then the holder is closed disallowing the user from seeing them during the entire roast. They are best for use by people with advanced skills in roasting because of their nature and complexity.

Good machines roast uniformly and eliminate the chaff in a convenient way. The controls should not be too many as to confuse the user. They should also be suitably placed for accessibility.
