We have an air compressor that we use. Be sure to clean the husk out first, otherwise it makes a pretty big mess.

We use a plastic brush with a long handle and stiff bristles as well. Shop vac at the end of the day. And, when the oils begin to build and we want it shiny,...

I've got a big shop vac but it doesn't cut it. Many bean pieces left behind.<br />
Hummmm, maybe if I could vacuum from the bottom like my probat does anyway but with more cfm's concentrated in a 3 square inch space. ( I'm over thinking it )<br />
I will buy one of the for-mentioned brushes instead.<br />

Save your $ for the real thing. Don't scratch up your cooling tray with a metal / steel brush. Bronze or brass ok. Plastic / daa , ok. The Rolster from this company <a href="http://www.coffeetool.com/" target="_blank">http://www.coffeetool.com/</a> is not even listed on their web site yet. Must be a supply issue. Good idea not to list it or take pre-orders till your supply is ready.<br />

Folks this is the solution and I don't work for the company. I roast with a Probat 5L and I'm not going to mess it up with a wire brush. Until I can get one of these "rolsters" I'm using a plastic brush and a shop vac.<br />
I can't even begin to imagine how my roasting instructor keeps his 1 1/2 bag roaster tray clean.<br />

I think the wire brush thing is a good/cheap option. Also try a plastic brush with stiff bristles.
