A recently discontinued model, this 3.5 to 4oz coffee roaster had electronic controls and a programmed profile, and roasted on the fluid air principle.

Bottom Line: A waste of money and time. It might be best to buy the cheaper Hearthware roaster without the 'brain.'

Bottom Line: A great roaster for beginner to expert if you don't mind 1/4 cup batches. Evenly roasted batches except on larger beans.
