  • Can you roast little more than 1 cup? Like 12oz of coffee measured by weight?

  • 12 oz would be way too much at one time. I usually roast two batches in a row, which the manufacturer says not to do though. I don't know how much one cup weighs but you can safely do that twice in my opinion.

  • nice video and fun music to boot. I've been researching coffee roasters and so far this one seems to do the best job in it's price range. Coffee seems to benefit from quick cool down, curious if you can dump beans before cool down and cool them quicker yourself?

  • There's probably a way but you still want to cool the actual roaster too, so the 4 minute cool down is pretty convenient.

  • @yekeraps My wife drinks about 3 cups per day and I drink only a morning double-shot cappuccino....and i do like having really fresh-roasted beans....so i'm thinking this roaster might be enough. Sounds like you're about ready to buy one that will roast a pound....?

  • If you can swing the cost, I'd recommend getting one that can roast a pound at a time. I think there's better roast control and you have to roast less frequently. But this one does alright for the price.

  • @markpianoman Target is not selling the Chefmate brand popcorn popper anymore (at least on Hawaii) -- what a shame. The Toastmaster is very similar but much hotter than the Chefmate so the beans have to be stirred constantly during the roast to prevent them from burning. I'm just about ready to buy an "I-Roast-2."

  • Awesome, I love the vent you set up.

  • If you overload it then it doesn't circulate well but if you add the instructed amount they all come out even. I'm sure this isn't the best roaster on the market.

  • From the video it doesn't seem like your machine circulates the beans very well, which may make your roasts more uneven. I've never owned an i-roast though so I don't know.
