How to make a home-made Coffee Roaster

[kapetan]

---

Step One:

You need to buy

1. A rotisserie


30 liters Wimpex rotisserie. Bought from Makro at P2999.

2. 21" by 10" Stainless Wire Mesh


You can buy the stainless wire mesh at Hardwarehaus at F. Gonzales St. The 21"x10" wire mesh costs around P250.

Step Two

Fabricate Roasting Drum.

Drum Dimension: 6" diameter, 9" length



You can have your roasting drum fabricated at tinshops in Tabo-an. The fabrication costs around P1500 to P2000. The fabrication already includes the front and back stainless drum cover.


Front drum cover:




Back drum cover:




Your roasting drum will look like this



You are now ready to roast your own coffee.



IMPORTANT:
NEVER LEAVE YOUR ROASTER UNATTENDED. YOUR ROASTER COULD SPARK A FIRE IF YOU OVER ROAST YOUR COFFEE BEANS.

Very inspiring, thank you! We are growing our own coffee and do the roasting in the frying pan, which easily can burn the beans. Our stove has this chicken turning device, I wonder if we could use that instead of buying an extra rotisserie.
