Ha! Hi Dave Day, I met you a couple times when I was working for the morons at newhall coffee!
Glad to see your invloved amigo!
Have you ever …
Have you ever wondered about where coffee beans are grown? Check us out!
The BM is a …
and it starts at a time of 1h 28m and counts down. I never get down further than 1h but I ume it will go longer.
The BM is a Breville brand. The dough setting can be selected manually (Setting
The exhaust fan is sucking air down thru the beans and venting out thru the bottom.
Nice idea with the …
Nice idea with the guitar stand.
What brand of bread maker is it, and can the ‘dough’ function run continuously?
Also is the exhaust fan in the bucket sucking air down or blowing air up?
You’ll find more …
You’ll find more than you wanted to know here at CoffeeSnobs forums
You’ll find these types of roasters referred to as “corretto” type roasters, named after the CS forum member that originated the idea of combining a bread machine with a heatgun to roast coffee.
The concept has really evolved and you’ll find people with all variety of HG/BM roasters. And a passion for quality home roasted coffee.
are any particular …
are any particular brands of bread machines more suitable? is there a users forum online? i wasn’t able to find one.
You can certainly …
You can certainly roast darker than shown in this video. Depending on the bean, I like to go to second crack or just before. But I’ve certainly taken roasts beyond second crack. At that point it’s all about your cooling setup to pull heat from the beans QUICKLY and halt the roasting process FAST.
FG… You will …
FG… You will enjoy much more control and gentler roasting with the HG/BM roaster. Much kinder on the beans that rocket-roasts from poppers
The temps are in centigrade. Bear in mind that I use these as a guide only because the actual temp of the bean mass would be different. You can modify the BM to insert a temp probe that reads from within the bean mass during roasting, but I have not bothered with that yet.
thanks for that. …
thanks for that. i’ve been getting frustrated using my poppery II popcorn popper – seems to? roast too fast.
were the temperatures you showed in fahrenheit or centigrade? and did the heat gun have an adjustable temperature control?
also, is it feasible to get a darker roast than you did in the examply you’ve shown?
Genius. This will …
Genius. This will solve my coffee roasting problems. Thanks. If only the video was one minute instead of six…
on that first day. …
Happy Roasting…
on that first day. But it works well, and folds up nicely to fit in my roasting-box for storage
of cutting off …
of cutting off about half of the adjustable stem to make the whole thing shorter. It was way too tall in it’s original guitar configuration. Then I just use (again lying around in the shed) some weights off a dumb-bell, over the two long legs of the stand to counter the weight of the HG. I probably would have designed/constructed something simpler and more elegant if I didn’t have the guitar stand handy
Hi Dennis. Nothing …
Hi Dennis. Nothing fancy or mystical about the heat gun holder. It was a matter of luck, The first time I was about to use this HG/BM setup, I was looking about the shed for something to use to hold the HG. I spied an old guitar stand trying to hide up the back of the shed. I made some slight modifications such as bending inwards a bit the padded parts that normally would hold the guitar neck, and the more drastic mod,
Nicely Done! I use …
Nicely Done! I use a HG/DB set up myself and I have often wondered about the Bread Machine Setup… Can you tell me a bit about the way you mounted the Heat Gun?
Dennis
I was thinking that …
I was thinking that too, perfect mod to insulate that thing.. but , genius setup none-the-less!
thank you
thank you

It’s credited at the very end.

i really like the …
i really like the song can u tell me what it is called please
Thanks for posting …
Thanks for posting this clip – I created an almost identical set up based on what I saw here. Works great and getting some fantastic coffee!
Only if I’ve let a …
Only if I’ve let a roast go a few seconds too long and need to QUICKLY pull all the heat out, do I stir with the spoon also.
If roasting a small …
If roasting a small 150g popcorn-popper batch, it takes 10-15 seconds to cool the beans. With the bread-machine batches, I’ve done up to 700g per batch. Those take 30-45sec to be touch-cool, but there is enough immediate airflow to pull the immediate heat from the roasting beans to stop them progressing further. Normally I just dump the beans in there and they cool themselves without me doing anything.
It’s just a $15 …
It’s just a $15 regular ceiling exhaust fan from the local big-box hardware store. Suits this application well because it’s round, which means it fits air tight along the sides of the plastic bucket, and it runs off a regular main electricity plug, so no fancy wiring required. Just fir it inside the bucket until it’s airtight, then secure with some screws thru the side.
nice setup. What …
nice setup. What kind of fan was that in your bucket? How long does it take to cool? I’m working on a new cooling system and would be interested in learning about your methods.
In what way…?

You don’t know about coffee roasting ?
You don’t care about coffee roasting ?
You didn’t like the editing ?
Don’t just “comment-and-run”. Offer something constructive that can be used to make things BETTER, so they are not “Boooring” (to you at least)
