A new breed of home roasters that lets you set the roasting profiles (parameters) that allow precise control of how the roaster takes care of your green coffee.

Bottom Line: Buy it - I beleive this is the best machine in its class
Robert Bean (quality: 4.5) 03.21.2005 Rating: 4.6
Bottom Line: Not the upgrade I had hoped for from Hearthware.
Steve Patriquen (quality: 5.3) 05.08.2005 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: This machine should not be on the market in its current form. A good idea but needs refining and attention to safety. I have gone back to the Precision. (1 yr edit - now using a Hottop and very happy)

Bottom Line: Too expensive for what it does, non durable, has no advantage over an air popcorn popper
Tom Be (quality: 7.2) 02.08.2005 Rating: 4.8
Bottom Line: It works but build quality is poor, I'd rather have spent money on a PID for a popper.
Tom O (quality: 7.6) 08.15.2005 Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: The i-roast is a step up from the popcorn popper in the pursuit of the god-shot - or as Homer Simpson would say: "mmmmm- sacrilicious"
Walt Isgro (quality: 3.5) 09.21.2005 Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: If this needs replacement I'll try another brand.
Wes Howard-brook (quality: 7.0) 07.02.2009 Rating: 6.2
Bottom Line: Why buy a noisy, smokey starter roaster when you can get a Behmor for less than twice the price, which will certainly last more than twice as long and produce much better results.

Bottom Line: A good, albeit loud roaster
