The Nesco® Coffee Bean Roaster is fun and easy. The preset digital controls allow you to roast coffee beans in 20 to 30 minutes and cools them to be ready for brewing. You can also create your own signature gourmet coffees from your favorite combinations of beans. Roasting different bean combinations allows for a larger range of distinct flavors each time you roast, which is a great plus for coffee enthusiasts. Roast up to 1/3 lb. of beans each time; this equals enough for 36 cups of coffee.
This 5 star roaster uses an advanced patented catalytic technology. It uses the powerful agitator along with the advanced catalytic converter to significantly reduce smoke and odors. Less smoke and odors means a better tasting cup of coffee and makes this machine perfect for those who prefer to roast beans indoors. And, this roaster is significantly quieter than most other home coffee roasters. Smoke comes from overheating that gives your roasted beans a slightly burnt smell or taste and thus your coffee. Once the green coffee beans are roasted, they will only remain truly fresh up to the next 10 days. To accommodate those who prefer dark roasts, there is a second fill line on the roast chamber. To get a dark roast, roast the beans for about another 10 minutes. To get the exact dark roast you want, it may take a few trial runs. This unit also has a glass roasting chamber that allows easy viewing and monitoring of your roasting progress, thus giving you added control in the process. When buying a variety of beans, it is okay to freeze them for a short period of several months. The Nesco Coffee roaster is easy to use, but be sure to read all the directions first before using it.
If you only drink espresso coffee on the week-ends, try roasting on a Thursday or Friday and roast just enough for the week-end. You will happily surprised how smoother and how much fresher your coffee will taste. Try 20 minutes for about 3.5 ounces of coffee beans to start with and then adjust to your taste. If some chaff escapes to the counter, just brush them off or vacuum them away. Features include a patented catalytic technology to reduce smoke and odor, a roasting journal, an instruction guide.
