New Home Roaster to Australia

Bean Green

Hi Guys,
We have a couple of new home roasters in stock that are new to Australia. We think they do a good job but would love to get some feedback from a seasoned home roaster. Would anyone be interested in giving one a road test for us? If your keen send me an email to [email protected]
Cheers Brendan and the Bean Green Team!

Great offer Brendan Since I live in Brisbane I am willing to give them a trial run I have done other reviews in the past KK

If KK gets one I can drop over there and give some feedback too :thumb:

Kelsey

Definitely! Email on it's way!

Lacehim

I'm just up the road from Kesley and would be happy to do a few roasts and give you some feedback from a home roaster perspective.  I've owned my KKTO for 2 years now I think and I love home roasting. Out of interest what size batches does it roast?  Any other details as to the spec?

Jonty

Sounds like a QLD social is on the card boys.......  What a great excuse to gather and give some feedback to a great sponsor and catch up with AM as well! Get it happening boys! Jonty

I'm just down the road in Northcote which is only a short trip by courier so is love to check one out! Email sent

Oh I wish I lived in QLD!!  I would have put my hand up for sure. Can't wait to see and hear reviews

Lacehim

I didn't see any requests for QLDers only?  I'm sure if Brendan had a few machines, we could even pass it around for testing in different locations to get a wider response to testing.  Just a thought, it's Brendan's call after all. More details would be nice Mr B, we are all champing at the bit to know what the specs are!

lemoo

Would love to get more deets definitely! Email sent either way :D

Bean Green

We have 2 units at the moment that are out getting road tested with more on the way. We will share them around for sure. The machines roast 200grs per roast with heaps of different profiles you can save and change. They very compact and are pretty much smokeless as well which is a bonus. Thanks for all the request guys and thanks for helping out. Cheers Brendan.

Hi Brendan, Very interested in testing one of these out. Maybe PM me with estimated pricing and element wattage too? I've got a mod-TO and a Gene Cafe on the bench at the moment so good direct comparisons, and am happy to host roasts in Syd (and provide some beans). Speaking of beans, must order some ethiopians and panama from you! Just not sure when I'm moving, so keep putting it off!

Best to email Brendan CH as that is his first point of contact I emailed him KK

Hi guys, Some more samples have finally arrived. One is on the way up to Kelsey, Lacehim and the Sunny Coast guys and another over to WA and 1 in Brisbane. I'll share them around after that. Thanks for helping out guys. Instructions are in the box. There are some presets available for different profiles already but you can quite easily change the parameters to create and master your own profiles. Yell out if you need a hand. I found that 180grs gave  the most consistent results. Cheers Brendan. 

Kelsey

Looking forward to it! My turbo oven died on the weekend so the timing is perfect!

lemoo

woohoo can't wait to actually see what it is and give it a go against my behmor. will be interesting to see how it compares!

Brett H

Cool... I have a Behmor and a KKTO and would be glad to put one through its paces also!

Kelsey

A surprisingly large box arrived on my doorstep today. Why I'm surprised, I have no idea - Brendan does everything *FAST*!! I want to do this properly, so it'll need to wait a day or so before I can properly sit down and have a play. :stir

Lacehim

I know there is at least 2 of these out in the wild now... ... anyone have any photos or a mini review or roasted on it yet? Kelsey.  Have you unpacked the box yet?

derrilex

He has done a few roast now I believe so I don't know what his excuse is. We all know he lies in bed all day with his kids  :rofl: :rofl:

Kelsey

You can just go right to hell.  I don't want to say too much without Brendan's blessing to do so. I will say that it's more 'appliancy' than I would've thought. It's a real hybrid style of roaster that's quick, clean and fun to use. You can easily hear 2C. Very little smoke and the chaff collector is great. It has it's downsides, but priced at the right point I could see myself getting one.

Brett H

How's about a pic or 9?

Lacehim

Photos?  Brendan said it was cool for us to post up photos!  I wanna see it.  Come on the suspense is killing me!  :P

Kelsey

Oh yeah? Alrighty then, I'll take some shots tomorrow then.

derrilex

If he gets out of bed  :rofl: :stir

Kelsey

Well you're a trade, you know all about sleep ins. :D

Certainly do at the moment Kelsey  :D I take the missus to work in the morning so I'm at her mercy anyway. Its only work, it will still be there at 8.30. Most customers appreciate a later start rather than rockin' the neighbours at 6.30  - suits me

Kelsey,  we are all dying here to see it........ Jonty

Sometimes this forum is a little too laid back........ Channeling elsewhere......... PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lacehim

Kelsey is flat out working combined with family life = lack of roasting/coffee time! There's more than one in the wild, so who has them?

derrilex

Time to hangout on the boardy @ Bullcock this morning and then boast about it FB though :stir :stir :stir :rofl: :rofl:
