I have used this for several years. It is fantastically seasoned and works really well. It has been used so there are some scrapes and imperfections. It works perfectly. I\'m moving on so there\'s no point in letting it sit in the closet. Here are the details:Coffee can loose as much as 40% of its aroma in as little as 7 days after roasting.
The world\'s only Rotary Drum Roaster designed for home use.
15 different roast settings at the touch of a button.
One button operation.
Automatically roasts, cools, removes the chaff and expels beans from the drum.
Patented airflow and ventilation system guarantee you a consistent and perfect roast every time.
Large Roasting Capacity:
The ALPENROST will roast as much as a 8 oz. / 225g. of green coffee beans at a single time. Enough to last an average family about one week, or enough to fill an automatic espresso machine.
One Touch Operation:
Simply load the green coffee beans into the roasting drum, close the lid, set your desired roast and touch the \'on\' button. The ALPENROST will automatically cycle through the roasting and \'cool down\' process, and then expel the beans into the bean cup.
Custom Roasting:
The ALPENROST has 15 roast settings allowing the consumer to personally select their favourite roast from a light cinnamon roast, through medium roast, to a dark French roast. They can also experiment by creating their own blends of specially coffee.
Green Beans Readily Available:
SupraMatic offers an extensive selection of premium quality green coffee beans, in various blends, including decaffeinated and organic.
The Freshest Coffee:
Fresh roasted coffee beans have a flavour and aroma second to none, and a taste the consumer will never forget. There is no fresher cup of coffee.
Flow Through Air Ventilation:
Separates the chaff from the roasted beans and keeps the ALPENROST \'cool to the touch\' during the roasting process.
Quiet Operation:
The ALPENROST is designed to operate virtually noise free.
Wonderful Aroma:
Coffee beans produce a very pleasant aroma when roasted.
Adjustable Ventilation Port:
The adjustable ventilation port on the ALPENROST must be vented externally by using a counter-top vent or stove-top range hood.
Extremely Safe:
While roasting, the exterior of the ALPENROST remains cool to the touch. Once the roasting and cool down cycles are complete, the roasting drum has cooled enough to make it safe to handle.
Quick and Easy Clean-Up:
The stainless steel roasting drum, plastic bean cup and ventilation port are all dishwasher safe.
