Hand-Roasted Coffee Machine 16cm Home Roasting Starter Kit

Hand-roasted coffee bean roaster made of stainless steel. It is exceptionally light, easy to handle and clean, making it incredibly easy to roast coffee.

Furthermore, since the lid is not mesh, chaff does not spill from the top, giving it a flavor reminiscent of a semi-hot air roaster.
It was also designed for home use to make cleaning chaff easier.

[Accessories]
- 20g of green beans for trial (we will send you the same beans used for our products)
- Mittens
- Hand-roasted coffee bean roaster

[Why a hand-roaster is recommended over a saucepan]

- Lightness
→ While saucepan roasting may seem less strenuous than continuously shaking a hand-roaster, saucepans are overwhelmingly heavier and require longer heating times. This product weighs less than half of a saucepan, making it easy for women and beginners to handle.

- Flavor
→ Hand-roasting uses direct heat to quickly roast green beans, which enhances their aroma and brings out the nuanced flavors of the beans. Because it roasts in a shorter time than a saucepan, it is economical and produces excellent flavor. Many specialty coffee shops that roast their own beans use hand-roasters instead of saucepans.

- Scalability
→ The knowledge gained from using a hand-roaster can be applied when you eventually invest in a larger roasting machine. Hand-roasting requires you to constantly monitor the beans (listening to sounds, smelling aromas, checking temperature, feeling texture, etc.) and use your senses as a guide. This experience is transferable to roasting with other equipment.

[Commitment to Equipment Manufacturing]
As a roasting facility owner, I roast all of our coffee beans using this very roaster. I have created equipment that allows for nuanced control, which is difficult with large roasters or saucepan roasting.

This may sound a bit abstract, but roasting progresses through steps such as gradually heating the moisture within the green beans, promoting bean expansion while heating at a constant rate until the first crack, and heating at a constant rate until the second crack while promoting caramelization. The extent to which you can impart your intentions to the beans at each step greatly influences the final taste. Roasting is interesting and challenging because subtle differences in the distance from the heat, or the speed and method of shaking, can lead to variations in the final outcome.

To enable such fine adjustments, equipment that is easy to use and can withstand tough use is essential.

Green beans are included, so you can start roasting right away. Please use this hand-roaster to enjoy roasting your own delicious coffee!
