【Thermometer & Green Bean Set】16cm Direct Flame Only DIY Coffee Roaster Green Coffee Bean Roasting

Hand-roasting coffee beans with this stainless steel, self-made roaster is made easy. The built-in thermometer allows you to monitor the temperature inside the pot at a glance, and its roasting performance is highly regarded.

Furthermore, the lid is not mesh, preventing chaff from escaping upwards, giving it a semi-hot air roasting flavor. It was designed with home use in mind to make chaff cleaning easier.

[Included Items]
- 20g of green coffee beans for trial (we will send you the same beans we use for our products)
- Mittens
- Hand-roaster + thermometer

[Why a Hand-Roaster is Recommended Over a Pot]

- Weight
→ While pot roasting might seem less strenuous than continuous hand-roasting, pots are significantly heavier and require longer heating times. This product weighs less than half of a pot, making it easy to handle for women and beginners.

- Flavor
→ Hand-roasting uses direct heat to quickly roast green beans, enhancing their aroma and bringing out the nuanced flavors of the beans. Since it roasts in a shorter time than a pot, it's economical and results in excellent flavor. Many specialty coffee shops that roast their own beans have adopted hand-roasting over pot roasting.

- 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 sense the state of the beans (sound, smell, temperature, texture, etc.) and use your intuition to guide the roast. This experience is transferable to roasting with other equipment.

[Commitment to Craftsmanship]

As a roasting facility owner, I roast all our coffee beans using this very roaster. I've created a tool that allows for nuanced control, which is difficult with large roasters or pot roasting.

While it may sound a bit abstract, roasting involves steps like 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 significantly impacts the final taste. The subtle distance from the heat, the speed and method of shaking – these are what make roasting interesting and challenging, as they all contribute to the final outcome.

To enable such fine adjustments, a tool that is easy to use and durable enough to withstand rigorous use was essential, which is why I made it myself.

We'll also include green beans, so you can start roasting right away. Please use this hand-roaster to brew your own delicious coffee!
