JIAWANSHUN Coffee Roaster Upgraded Electric Coffee Bean Roaster 1.1lb Coffee Roaster for Home Use,0-240℃ Temperature Adjust&Timer 110-120V

I love this coffee bean roaster it works great it's the best coffee bean roaster I've ever owned. I've been roasting my own coffee beans for over 20 years and this coffee bean roaster works perfectly you can adjust the time and temperature of your roasting case and it works perfect

Nice equipment, easy to use. Like it.

Update 7/2024: The newer version of this roaster gets hotter, faster. 10 minutes at 170 to dry them out, 8-12 minutes at 240 to roast depending on what you like roast-wise (I like a medium roast just into second crack). The first batch will roast faster than subsequent batches. I don't use the welding blanket anymore, it gets plenty hot on its own now.Original review: This coffee roaster is so-so out of the box. It functions like an old whirley-pop popcorn maker from back in the day, with a non-stick base and a rotating blade that agitates the beans. Its major design flaw is that the glass lid, while sturdy, does not sufficiently insulate the roaster to get the beans hot enough to roast them to proper coffee roasting temperatures. You can barely get them to 200 degrees centigrade after 45 minutes or more, even at the hottest setting.However, get yourself a welding blanket (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B019SWRT0E/) and this roaster goes from so-so to outstanding. You can roast 300 grams of green beans in about 45 minutes. I recommend setting it to about 180 degrees centigrade with the lid on for ten to twelve minutes to drive out moisture. Then, remove the lid and wipe off the condensation. Replace the lid and turn up the heat to 240 degrees. Place the folded welding blanket over the roaster. Set your timer for 30 minutes. (This is far too long on newer models; see second update) After that, come back and check the temperature (using your infrared thermometer) and color of the beans, based on roasting charts you can find on the internets. If they aren't done, continue roasting in five minute increments until they reach the desired temperature and color.A note on smoke: many reviews talk about how smoky coffee roasting is, as though your neighbors will call the fire department on you if you roast coffee. This is nonsense. Yes, there is some smoke, but it's nothing terrible. Just roast your coffee under your stove's hood, and turn the fan up to at least medium, and you should be fine.So, I knock off one star for not functioning as designed out of the box. But add a welding blanket, and this roaster works great. Green coffee beans are very inexpensive, and unlike roasted coffee beans, green beans keep for years in a cool, dry place! We haven't bought roasted coffee beans once since we figured out how to use this thing properly, and it has easily paid for itself.Update 7/2022: After just under three years, the heating element is starting to wear out on this device. Even turned all the way up, we can no longer get my coffee roasted at the stage we previously did. This seemed to happen very suddenly - one week it worked fine, the next week, not so much. So, still a great value, but it looks like we'll need to replace it soon.

The media could not be loaded. I usually review where a review is deserved and this machine as well as customer service deserves it! I'll make this review short and simple, a year ago I purchased this roaster and I roast 500g almost every 3-5 weeks depending how much I drink coffee lol well, just like a month ago the little ceramic piece (in picture) broke and I tried fixing it with some weld glue and tape just to get a small batch roasted that'll last me until I get a whole new machine, so I texted the seller hoping it was under warranty but because of shipping cost I would have to pay $20 out of pockets so I just gave up and said no thank you, the seller then went above and beyond and sent it to me which literally got here in 1-2 weeks!! I'm so glad and not only did he sent me 1 piece, they sent me 2 pieces which I'm hoping now that nothing else aside from that breaks. I like this roasted, it's simple and gets the jobs perfectly done 😁 it roasts the coffee beans evenly and the temperature control is a big plus (add a loud timer on your phone lol) I don't think I've cleaned it because the pan is very soft and easy to just wipe

Used for 5 months. Love the coffee flavor and roast. The porcelain part broke today so the arm no longer spins. I’ve reached out to seller to order replacement part, as I’ve seen some buyers have had luck with that. It worked great until it didn’t.

I've been roasting more than 100 pounds of coffee per year since 2002. Five previous roasting machines perished - I bought increasingly expensive machines, and the demise of the last one was partly due to my unwittingly loosening a wire when cleaning the inside. Given $600-$1100 replacement/repair costs, I was ready to try a less expensive machine. With high heat and moving parts, no roaster will run for a lifetime without refurbishing or replacement.This is actually a Bar Well SCR-300, but you will not find many English-language articles on the Internet for it. It has an on-off switch and a temperature rheostat. Arms stir the beans, and there is a thin riveted strip that jostles the beans when they are swept across it. There is no chaff collector and no fan. Instructions call for 10 minutes at 140 C, 5 at 180, 5 at 210. Other reviewers here are using higher heat levels, and I have moved from 180/210 to 190/230 for city-plus roasting level.I tried 4, 6, 8, and 12 ounce batches. I settled on 8 ounces at 20-25 minutes in a car port outside. You will probably want a strategy for handling the smoke. Chaff can be blown off, and beans dumped onto colander or perforated pizza pan to cool. I season the non-stick surface with a couple of drops of olive oil - definitely debatable whether seasoning will extend the life of the surface. The inside of the lid gets coated with residue - easily cleaned with soft scouring pad and cloth. The large lid provides wonderful visibility of the beans being roasted, but you need to ignore the spinning chaff's color and concentrate on the bean color, roasting smell, cracking sound.My significant other and I agree that the finished product is as good as the output from more expensive roasters.Watch out for the packet that contains the washer and screw to attach the lid - definitely needed and apparently missed by another reviewer. One of the feet came off - I glued all of them to prevent that from reoccurring.Update at about my one-hundredth roast. Beans that produce significant amounts of large chaff pieces (e.g. "honey" coffees/wet-processing) have needed me to lift the lid and blow/jostle that chaff out of the way; otherwise the chaff acts like a dam and blocks the beans from being swept around. Other than this issue, I still have no complaints worth posting.Update after about 550 roasts. The heating element finally failed, and I purchased another unit - it is very different from the original. Bowl is wider, stirring rod allows some beans to get stuck, and rod's speed is slower. Dial now has LED light. Original had 5 minutes for coffee to cool - later model takes 10 minutes. At 60 roasts...output is uneven, but the brewed coffee is consistently better than brews with the old unit I did need to tighten the nut on the rod to reduce beans getting stuck, and now it's just an occasional small bean at the end of the rod. I am running 8 minutes at 100, 5 minutes at 140, then up to 230 until second crack is relatively frequent.At about 240 roasts, the second unit's switch failed - 4 days past the one-year warranty expiration. I ordered my third unit.
