I will be opening a roasting company within the next few years and am beginning to look at purchasing a sample roaster and a 10 K roaster. What do you like to use? Any suggestions/warning?

Thanks!

I guess that it depends on what you mean by sample roaster. I use the Behmor 1600 http://www.behmor.com and I absolutely love it. The only disadvantage is that you can't roast more that 1lb at a time. Typically it takes 1 hour to get a lb. of roasted coffee. I also have to roast it in the garage otherwise it sets off my smoke alarms.
Thanks Brandon, I'm actually looking for more of a shop style cylinder roaster that roasts 1 LB per batch. But I do appreciate your response!

About sample roaster, if you want premium design and quality, I would like to suggest you contact Primo company, http://www.primoroasting.com/. Its sample roaster was redesigned by Marty Curtis. Another premium brand for "Jabez Burns" style is probat, and gothot????. small batch machine such as Ambex, SF.

For cheaper "Jabez Burns" design, you can contact pinhalense in Brazil http://www.pinhalense.com.br/site/eng/index.htm
some information about pinhalense from sweetmarias http://www.sweetmarias.com/roasters_sample_pro.html
hey Jonathan, there is a probat sample roaster available here. http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd6j9f4j_0d4jxsdgt
I am not a roaster so I don't know much about it but I thought that you might like to take a look.
I have a slightly used Toper 10 Kilo roaster - black and stainless in color. Ordered with Toper Profile system, but system does not work. Roaster is in great condition with 2 digital thermostats - one in exhaust other is bean probe. Burner can be controlled by either with flip of a switch. Machine is about 18 months old. External chaff collector. Pictures available by email. Manual included. Can ship to USA and Canada.
There is the Toper Cafemino roaster which is a great sample roaster. It roasts 2.2lbs every 10 to 15 minutes with the gas model.

They also have a 10kg model to consider. Profile system could be added as well.

Msg me if have any questions.
I would be interested in getting more information from you. How much do you want for it? Where are you located? If you want to email me pictures to jonmeadows@sbcglobal.net that would be awesome!
