The max patch size for cr-100 is 130g (I reckon). But the breadmaker can roast up to 1kg depends on the size of the basket. I use my cr-100 as a sample roaster and the breadmaker heat gun to roast a larger patch (normally 300g). Also, the cr-100 doesn't have temp control. So u can't really control the roast (U can't ramp). But as u can see, for the breadmaker, i inserted a temp probe into the basket and have a driller holder which can adjust the height of the heat gun, there is more conrtol of the roasting temp. The breadmaker heatgun method is called the "corretto" in Australia. Use "corretto" as a keyword for research if anyone interested. U can also find video from u tube.

Having said that, u can't compare any domestic roaster and the breadmaker heatgun to the commerical roaster. As the commercial roaster has a better temp control. U will know when u compare the graph between the both

I am trying the popper to roast bean and it is pretty difficult to control as the roast is quite uneven and it goes into very deep roast often. I am looking for other setup or machine such as Hottop. I saw your Corretto, and it appears it is worth to try. do you have any further comment, as comparing with popper and Hottop. Thanks Tony.

Hi VG,

I recently built a new one. It works very very gd. I'm very impressed with the result. I can't say it's better than the hottop cos I haven't used a hottop be4. However, one thing which is better then hottop is, it can roast up to 1Kg with gd result.
I found it is very easy to control the temperature. I'd done 3 roasts so far with my new corretto, it all came out very even. From my prespective, it gives a much better result than popper cos of its temperature control. And it's very cheap to built. My current one costs me $108 AUS (included Digital thermometer). So, it's cheaper than hottop and other domestic roaster.
If u are interested, u can pm me and i can give u my msn. So we can talk about the details.

Cheers,

Tony.

Maybe I should post my new corretto setup and the result

I see ~ I need to train my ear~~

As a DIY home roasting method, the adjustable temperature profile is the big advantage of Corretto vai
1. variable heatgun blow temperature
2. heatgun blow speed
3. heatgun height /position
4. use pan cover to maintain /release the heat

It is really an interesting method, I love it~~ thanks for your introduction.

BTW how you would cool down the bean?

[sugilun - Tony]

I'm glad u like this setting. I can't take all the credits as I'm not the one who invent it. But I'm happy to share the information from Australia to Hong Kong coffee fans. Thx to "Corretto" - the one who invent this roasting method.

hi tony,
do your heatgun got a temp. setting? What temp. you are using?

Lucky me, i got all eletric in my kitchen, but i never think to roast bean, let me try this week end.

[sugilun - Tony]

Mine has two temp settings. One is 60 degree and the other one is 600. I switch my heatgun to its highest power setting. I adjust the height to control the heat.

Happy roasting. Have fun

Tony.

hi tony
thanks for the reply, do you have good idea for the bean chaff collect.

and the heatgun temp. yours is Fahrenheit, isn't it

[sugilun - Tony]

N~It is in degree C
Sorry, I'm not sure what are u talking about "bean skin connect"?. But for the chaff, I just use the fan to blow all the chaff on the floor and sweep them to the lawn~~
