You can save money by roasting the beans yourself. Coffee roaster is also a great way for experimenting with various coffee blends. There are two main types of coffee roasters including fluid bed roaster, and drum roaster.
In fluid bed roaster, the temperature of the coffee beans is detected by a built in thermometer. By detecting the temperature, the machine is able to control the roasting degree of the coffee beans. The degree of roasts determines the flavor, fat and color of the coffee beans. Since the heat is transferred directly to the bean, the coffee bean will be roasted in a shorter time. To roast the bean faster, you can increase the air flow. The fluid bed roaster takes about 5 minutes to roast the coffee beans. The coffee roasted by a fluid bed roaster has a non bitter taste. Fluid bed roaster is cleaner and requires lesser maintenance.
