Thank you to everyone who responded so willingly to my first post! You were all more help than you know. Now I have another question for all of you pro's out there. Are there any companies out there that allow you to rent roasting equipment, rather than purchasing? I have searched some...

Honestly the biggest problem I had with the javamaster was, not only did seems to have too much of a "commercial" feel, but the price tag (around 20 grand!) so that alone probably puts it out of the picture for me. Ambex, Deidrich and San Fran seem to be my main choices at this point...this...

I was just pointed in the direction of a drum roaster from coffee/per called the SanFranciscan anybody know anything about those? The 6lb machine is good looking and sounds solid...any info? www.coffeeper.com Nate

great advice and info...thanks. Honestly I think I would prefer just learning along side a pro roaster who is willing to teach and give personal attention, than spend 1000 bucks to take classes. But that may be something I'll end up having to do. Home Roasting may be some good practice as...

hey topher I sent you a pm...thanks for all your help! Anybody else have any insights?

One more thing...if I was to seriously consider a drum roaster, which I am...do any of you know of a place I could go to be trained in this art? I realize that many of the companies that sell these roasters offer a day or two of training with the sale, but it seems to me that I would need to...

Also any thoughts on fully automated drum roasters? Are they really hands off? Who carried the best one? Thanks Nate

Ya the fact that they are all electric has some advantages, but it is a little scary at far as quality of roast...could I liken it to cooking a steak on a gas grill (which is better taste) versus an electric? Any thoughts on the 5lb roasters (fluid bed) from www.javamasters.com or...

Thanks guys for your help! Flavor would be top priority for my coffee shop which why I am leaning toward drumming it now. I haven't ruled out the monster roaster yet, mainly because of ease of use, but I found something very interesting today and would like your opinions on it. I found a drum...

Hey everyone its great to find a place where business owners are so helpful. My issue is that I am very interested in purchasing a monster coffee micro-roaster, it seems perfect for what I want to do. The problem is I live nowhere near Seattle where they are based out of and NEED to be able to...

Go ahead and PM me, are we talking about a different type of roaster? Appreciate the reply!
