Hello Gents. I'm wishing to purchase a roasting machine to cook Coffee beans. If anyone is roasting in Thailand I would love to hear from your experience. The beans come from the farm I am on. This is the second year I will be doing this so am a complete novice. In saying that I have learnt a lot. My preference is an electric machine over gas as I wish to get a consistent roast. I will be lucky to get maybe 10kilo of green beans this year so small scale. Happy to part with around 25000bht for a roaster as we have planted around 15 more plants so maybe in 1 or 2 years the yield will increase. I am finding models on the net which appear good and within the price range but are120 volt and ship from the US or UK. The Chinglish models I am a bit weary of unless somebody can give a good review of one. I could pay a commercial shop to roast as an option but prefer to do it myself.

 

 

Last year I roasted beans in a wok over gas using a whisk to constantly stir. Although it worked the end product was not cooked even. The attached photos I have posted here before on AN.

There are machines at Lazada between 15-25.000 Baht.

I tried it with a Iron cast pan and was quite happy with the result.

However, too much Acrylamid. So I buy roasted coffee, what is at the end much cheaper than to spend a machine

Thanks for reply. I’m ok with buying a Coffee roasting machine. To me it is self gratification with growing the plant to drinking it at home with all the effort in-between. I would also supplement use of the roasting machine by buying online green coffee beans to better my learning how to roast. There is a lot to learn before harvesting grows bigger. 

 

I'm looking at the first pick of Coffee in the next two months.

 

From my limited experience I want to get away from using a pan or wok on gas. I have an air fryer but am hoping someone may point me in the right direction for an electric model specific to roasting 150gm to 200gm +++ dark roast.

For these small quantities you will need a sample roasting machine. I bought one at Lazada and one at JJ market in Bangkok. Commercial models are for larger quantities of several KG.

The reason I stopped roasting the coffee was Acrylamid which comes by this process, a carcinogenic chemical.

Flame removed

Hillkoff in CM has a few - this one is on their online order site 9500B

Answering my own post. I ended up buying a M1 roaster on Shopee. Not cheap. It comes with Artisan software which uses Bluetooth from my laptop to connect and control the roaster. You can use saved roast profiles and the roaster will automatically follow the roast.  Im still trying to get a really good roast profile after doing about 12 roasts. Learning from my mistakes. I'm getting there.
