Hot Top roaster amperage

[ginger]

Could someone please tell the amps. on the Hot Top coffee roaster as I am looking at buying the U.S. 110volt model which means I would need to buy a
transformer to use it here in N.Z?

You can contact the company direct and have it sent to you with 220 volts.
I have the email addie to the company somewhere ill try and find it for you.

Hot Top amperage

Thanks for your reply.I was quoted U.S.$ 800 +postagefor the 220volt model,which is a lot more than the110 volt model so needed to investigate the price of a step down transformer.

If you push really hard you can have it for $700.
I have heard.

The transformer would be an acceptable option. I know they are readily available in NZ so I think that would be the best for you. Its been a while since I have been home (a Wellingtonian myself) but I am surprised you can not buy one of these in NZ. Haveyou tried the guys on alt.coffee? There are a bunch of Kiwi's there, they might be able to point you to a local supplier at a more reasonable cost.

Or you can just try one of these... im trying to get one done as we speak.
Its small and portable enough to take on holidays along with your own choice of brewing appliance and favourite green beans. :lol:
Oh and i think it should cost next to nothing. Ill let you know how mine turned out when its done.
The simple things are always more fun.

PS i hope noone puts it down because its a hot air roaster.

Ginger, the site for the Hottop manufacturer is http://www.hottop.com.tw I would see if they can get you the 220V model you want direct somehow. Contact info is on that page.
