i'm a wee bit of a coffee geek. this roaster was built by [dreamroast]. it's a highly modified of version of the roaster that i've been using for the last year or so. a convection oven up top provides the primary heat source, while the beans are spun around in the roast chamber below. a pair of thermocouples let you know what's going on inside the chamber. when the roast is done, pop the top, dump the beans into the drawer, and a fan mounted below cools them to room temperature in about a minute. it was put up for a home roaster building contest - you might be interested in the other entries.
