After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Hottop USA 1kg roaster

Hottop will soon be offering a new model of coffee roaster. Years of development and testing in our production and testing facility, and feedback for users have helped us create a coffee roasting appliance that uses standard household current, yet is capable of roasting up to one kilogram (approximately 2.2 pounds) of coffee at a time. This coffee roaster is aimed at two markets:
The small coffee shop that needs a large capacity roaster to serve as a sample roaster as well as giving them an affordable way to roast small, "custom batches" for customers while they wait.
The home enthusiast looking for an advanced, large-capacity home roaster capable of repeatability and dependable performance.

Features Include:
Two heating elements can be controlled separately. Should allow this large-capacity roaster to roast smaller batches with control.
Color, touch screen control and programming through multiple screens.
Maximum Capacity: 1,000 grams (1Kg) - 2.2 pounds.
Roasting time: 16-20 minutes.
Electric drum roaster: 1,350 - 1,500 watts maximum. Able to use standard household outlet.
Greatly improved chaff collection.
Two chaff collectors - A tray under the drum and a stainless steel filter screen before the fan.
Greatly improved smoke channeling through the interior of the roaster will easily allow indoor roasting.
Included high-temperature, flexible hose which connects to an exhaust port to vent smoke out through an open window, into cooking vent, etc.
Auto, Program, and Manual modes. Basically this combines the features of the "B" and "P" models, with an improved programmability in the "P" system.
21 Kg (44 pounds) in weight.
USB port for saving, loading, and sharing of profiles.
Touch screen control as well as computer control through USB port
RS-232 port for computer control of the roaster and logging of roasts.
Real-time graphing of roast progress
Roast profiles can be saved internally as well as on a computer or on a USB flash drive. This will make sharing of profiles easy.

While this is a pre-production model, the hardware is ready for production as seen above. Final programming of the control system is currently being completed.
