El mejor tostador casero

L.F.R. · 25 July 2025

The media could not be loaded. Sin duda un muy tostador de buena calidad, para unos tal vez un poco caro, pero sin duda que vale completamente la pena, yo lo compre para un emprendimiento de una cafeteria, para tostar mi propio cafe, afortunadamente el negocio prospero muy rapido y se me quemo el tostador en 1 mes exacto, tostaba 1 a 2kg por dia, pero dandole su uso domestico que es pera lo que es, vale mucho la pena.

Great Roaster, surprisingly affordable

W. · 31 July 2024

This is the only roaster I found that has all of the features a professional roaster would have, yet at a very affordable price:- Drum Roaster- Dropping beans mechanism- Cooling tray that can be removed for an easy beans transfer.- Manual control of the electrical heat source and fan- Smoke suppressor (that does a phenomenal job) as well as two pipes that also come with the roster in case you want to use those instead.I have experience great customer service so far. Make sure to get the model that has the quartz tube (comes already with the newly manufactured roasters), otherwise you will have some burned beans in the roast.It has automated modes for beginners. You can still choose to do your roast manually or in an assisted mode where you control when to stop the roast.The automated modes are a bit fast but still do a good job. The end result tends to be a bit darker than what you are aiming for, however, this can be controlled if you are roasting in a manual mode or assisted mode. Make sure to lead the roaster with at closer to 350g-400g to get best results. Loading it with 100g for sample roasting would make the roast very quick.Best roaster I found for its price. Recommended.

Great Roaster - worth the price

I have been using this roaster for seven months now, roasting 400 gram batches every 1-2 weeks. Overall, I am very pleased with the product. I bought it to replace a Behmor roaster, and this roaster outperformed the Behmor in multiple ways. It roasts a 400 gram batch to Full City+ in around 10 minutes. It gives a consistent roast every time. The chaff tray makes for easy cleanup. There are a couple of things I don't like. The motor that drives the roasting drum is noisy, which makes it difficult to hear first crack and impossible to hear the second crack. The smoke filter cannot handle the heat of a Full City roast and will fail after a few roasts. This is not mentioned in the users manual, but when I contacted the company they said the filter should only be used for light roasts and the exhaust pipe used for darker roasts. I purchased a replacement filter and some hi-temp resistant foam filter sheeting. I cut the foam to size and put a couple of layers under the filter and one above it. I haven't done enough roasts to see if this fixes the problem. Be aware that a lot of smoke and smell will come from dumping the beans after roasting, which cannot be avoided. I highly recommend using the Assist mode when roasting, as you need to control when to stop the roasting , especially if you are doing a darker roast. The instructions in the manual are OK, but it is difficult to refer to refer to them while in the middle of the roast. I created my own instruction checklist which I will attach to this review. You can see my setup in the photo. I roast on my range so I can vent directly to the range hood.

Excelente Atención por el fabricante!!

I've been using a Gene Cafe roaster for years but decided I wanted more control so I looked at the reviews of this product and bought it. It arrived last night and I unpacked it. The only issue I had was that the tools and control unit were packed inside the bean output drawer and became jammed...like desk or cabinet draws can be when something is sticking up too high. I had to take part of the unit apart to unstick the drawer. If you wonder where the tools (scoop, spoon, brush, and control panel) are pull out the bean output drawer. If it won't open turn the unit on the side and remove the bottom screwed enough to pull the bottom plate off a bit to unstick the drawer. My advice to the manufacturer is to package theses in another box and not in the drawer.This morning I did a test roast. I roasted about 400 grams of wet hulled Indonesian Flores Kamodo beans from Smokin Beans. I used the automatic mode 033 for dark roast wet hulled beans and followed the directions. The roast was perfect! The smoke filter was great and didn't set my garage fire alarm off the way the GeneCafe usually did.I like having the unit preheated so the beans are not baked as the temperature increases the way it does in a GeneCafe. Same with the cool down as the beans are spread out in the cooling tray as soon as the roast is complete.I'm looking forward to working up to a complete manual roast with the detailed control over temperature, power, fan speed and time. This roaster gives you everything from full automatic to full manual with an assist mode in between.The footprint is a bit larger than the GeneCafe and the power cord could be a bit longer but overall it looks like it's going to give me more control over the roast and I can roast a full pound of beans unlike the GeneCafe. It is also considerably cheaper than the GeneCafe...until new tariffs on China go into effect that is.
