    Will never buy pre-roasted coffee again... we love this machine

    First of all, I'm not going to use fancy words like city roast that I have no idea what they mean. This will be a very pedestrian review.Can't believe we waited this long to roast our own coffee beans. We have never bought coffee that was better than what we have roasted so far with this machine.

    Great coffee bean roaster

    This is a great roaster--easy to use, quick and reliable. This is my second purchase of the same roaster (I wore out the first one). I highly recommend Dean's Beans for green coffee beans. Besides being great coffee beans, they are organic and fair trade.

    Great little roaster; wish it was digital and programmable.

    We decided to try roasting our own coffee beans and bought this item in late 2021. It has produced several hundred batches since then with terrific results. My wife and I drink each drink one double shot latte each morning, so about two scoops per day.
