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: Good starter home roaster with consistent results
James Schulman (quality: 6.5) 10.25.2001 Rating: 6.6
Bottom Line: Great coffee, but lousy construction. Please, someone build a good roaster!
Richard Floch (quality: 9.0) 01.13.2002 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Fine machine for limited demand uses and if you like acidy light roasts and pungent dark roasts.
Ben Alpers (quality: 8.4) 01.15.2002 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: Unfortunately, this is the home roaster I'd recommend getting. It does a great job, but has serious quality problems.
Kevin Morgan (quality: 8.8) 01.16.2002 Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Good way to get introduced to home roasting.
Jill Stratman (quality: 8.0) 01.21.2002 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: Small scale home roasting doesn't get any easier than this.
George Swanson (quality: 7.7) 02.19.2002 Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: You're not really a coffeegeek unless you roast your own!
Robert Colin Newell (quality: 3.1) 03.04.2002 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Good in a pinch. In the final analysis, get your beans from the big machines!
Bruce Harlick (quality: 8.5) 07.03.2002 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: The HWP makes roasting easy, fun, and almost automatic.
Scott Jensen (quality: 5.8) 07.04.2002 Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: An excellent home roaster!
Brian S (quality: 6.6) 07.08.2002 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: The Standard in Air Roasting
Paul Pratt (quality: 5.7) 01.05.2004 Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Good solid product, easy to use, good even roasts with 110g batch size, little smoke, a little noisy but great fun!
Java Man (Espressopithecus) (quality: 9.0) 12.14.2004 Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: As close to "set and forget" as they come, but durability problems, small capacity, and excess brightness for non-espresso brewing mar this product.
