I decided that I'll rather spend money in my coffee hobbie rather than lunches and going out drinking. I bet my friends at work have spent more money in drinks that I'll ever spend in coffee equipment. I'm saving for a commercial espresso... ;D

Good point. 

I can truthfully say that I've had the best espresso at my place and not at any espresso bar even in Italy.  This is more of a labour of love ... a passion ... that most would not pursue but love to be the recipients of.

So does that roaster make the coffee beans taste that much better than the Fresh Roast Plus 8?

I have roasted coffee in my Rosto, TurboCrazy, iRoast and other air roasters. I will admit that the drum roaster makes a big difference.

I bought this roaster because it was a good deal, otherwise I wouldn't have spend the money on it.

All that said, I came to prove today that Coffee Makers are as important.

I brewed some Yemen this morning at home in my Newco, it was awesome...  :o
I went to work and brewed the same exact thing, and it was mediocre... ??? what a disappointment!!!

Why the disappointment?  Was it the bean or was the roast off?

Well, the only Iligan I know is in the Philippines. I don't see the relation between Iligan and Timbuktu...
How'd you get to know my hometown? It's just that it's so far from most people.  :)

Yes I do, reminds me of when I was in NYC and all the hotels had their brass fire hose connections polished... they did it every day.

Sweet looking roaster.

I've only got a lowly Fresh Roast 8 +.  It works well and is cheap.
Is it really worth spending $300.00 and above for a roaster?
I started with the FR+8. But it roasts too small a batch I had to roast at least once a day. Maybe mine was a bad unit, the thermal fuse gets busted maybe 2x a month, and the beans become charcoal in maybe 5mins max, such that I was roasting in 2-3 mins. Too expensive to send it back for repair/replacement. I regretted spending $90 on that one. Now very happy with the cheapo Whirley Pop popcorn maker, which can roast a lb. And I can use it in succession, with no problem of busted fuses.

That is interesting Bob ... I've had mine for a year and a half.  Never a problem with it.  It does take me dark in 4 1/2 minutes but coffee is good.  From what I understand the drum roasters make the coffee taste sweeter.  That is good if you are brewing espresso.

No I'm waiting on the manuals and other parts to arrive. I will be going over to Shep's place because he has this same roaster and has volunteered to help me learn. I can't wait to get started!
