I recently got this machine because im a crazy home roaster. I love it.

[@mantaroy]

I bought the previous model for home roasting and we have loved it. It looks like you've changed everything I would change on mine. It's great to see all the improvements!

[@01logan75]

Always love your video

[@johncain2690]

I agree. That "cooling tray is super exciting!"

[@psychadeliq]

lol

[@mondoc7976]

Coming from a beer brewing world this 500g is just like having a pilot system to test batch on, small batch for R&D then scale up. This lil guy is set up for success right outta the gate, super tune able

[@Aizenstehen]

Now this is my dream!

[@kingo55]

guy on the left looks like he's had 5 cups already...

[@Anarchsis]

He’s a roaster, he probably has has 10.

[@fransuper7]

Hi guys! What's the smaller batch size you can roast with this roaster? Thank you

[@Mercury1955]

nice, thanks

[@yazid7276]

Hi Mill City! I love your videos! May I know if the drum is double walled stainless steel?

[@MillCityRoastersMN]

Double walled? Yes. Stainless steel? We use a type of stainless with a higher iron content to form the inner drum.

[@yazid7276]

Hi. Which temperature reading do you use for Charge Temperature? Bean Temperature Probe or Drum Temperature Probe?

[@MillCityRoastersMN]

Drum temperature.

Gosh Derek is so handsome.

[@francescolimblici6757]

How many batch can you do in a row ?? Thanks

[@roasterjoe]

As many as you would like! This is a professional roasting machine. As long as you don't allow the chaff to build up too much, you can keep it running for as many hours as you can stand next to it roasting.

[@Anarchsis]

Are they available in Australia?

[@MillCityRoastersMN]

We ship to Australia on a regular basis.

[@Pinxism]

Can i start a VERY Small Roasting Business using this 500g machine?

[@MillCityRoastersMN]

Sure. It will get you to something like 50 lbs a week of finished coffee roasting a couple of hours per day. Enough to confirm you can both learn to roast and sell coffee on a scale that makes a bigger machine worthwhile.

I kept trying to up my video to 1080 to figure out what was going on there.
