How To Roast Coffee with Breadmaker & Heatgun (Part 1 of 2)

*EDIT* Here's my new roaster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7t78rf0z5k

For Coffee enthusiasts, here is one method for roasting coffee at home. "Used" breadmakers are regular guests of thrift stores, and since very few people use it more than once, they are usually like new. You can pick up a heatgun for as little as $10 (if you don't have one in the garage already). I did modify the breadmaker so that the paddle spins continuously. Most breadmakers have a knead setting that will work, too.

(In the video I say that "the heatgun is too close to the heat" while I meant to say "the heatgun is too close to the beans".)

I've recently been informed that opening the lid and/or shutting off the heat may stall the progress of the roast. Roasting coffee beans is like a chemical experiment. Interrupting the chemical process inside the bean by shocking it's temperature even for short periods will result in a less than optimum roast. Keep this in mind.

Cool. Seems nice to roast beans this way because you can do much more at one time than a popcorn machine.
