Why I Built A Roaster - Pt. 1

Roasters generally suck. I think I have some ideas on where we should be heading!

Make this series continue, please. There's an audience out there that is still waiting for you to turn up with next-level content. Because some of us care about coffee, and its future, not about politics.

No one mention air humidity either. Hot humid air at any given temperature has more heat to give up cooling 1degree than dry air. So following a temperature time curve accurately does not accurately reproduce heat exchanged to the beans.

Fascinating stuff Matt and a very ambitious of you! But yes, please keep the content coming. Especially on this topic. ☕️

Hi Matt! Built my own electrically heated 5Kg/batch roaster from 2013 to 2015. Roasted 1300 batches since then. I am really excited what you will come up with! ;-)

Please do part 2 soon! This is soooo eye opening

[ridethree]

Well what a nice and informative never-ending series that ended after one episode

[inspiredartist]

This is fantastic, and it's a conversation I've been somewhat having with myself since shortly after I began roasting. Excited to see what you have to say in future episodes. Thanks for your diligent work in seeking to make everything about and surrounding coffee truly better, Matt!

The audio is a little bit hard to hear

Why I Built A Roaster - Pt. 42, taking my beans to space for the perfect roast

[Nicofoto]

This is exciting! It's 2020 already and coffee roasting machine is still old-fashioned

[JejuneJesuit]

I really truly love this and I hope you haven't gone insane from this whole process! Looking so much forward to seeing more!

[darrenschmidt]

Matt im glad your working on this subject, i want to hear more, this may amswer some of my long standing questions about drum roasters, i have roasted on both drum and air and am currently roasting on a shop built air roaster with pid control for heat for my consistency but still struggle with the probes like normal. Ill be keeping right up with you in this one to see how you explain it all... thanks!

[Aizenstehen]

It's look very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I'll stay tune!

[terryseo]
