Changing the world...

One bean at a time.

 
Debut Article! What happened to the Maui Moka??? Look here for some of the many reasons the tiny, chocolaty bean disappeared in 2001. "The Homeroaster" ™ presents, for those of you who are handy with a few basic tools and like building your own stuff, a one pound BBQ Grill Coffee Roaster you can build in your own garage (or anyone else's garage, for that matter).
Coming soon! For those more adventuresome, I will share my experiences building a two pound capacity fluid bed roaster! (A few pics are up at Two pound fluid-bed air coffee roaster More pics to come as progress continues.)

NEW! Update on the Incredible Maui Moka --The coffee trees at the Kaanapali Plantation are producing beans again!.
NEW! A Ten Pound Mega Home BBQ Grill Drum Roaster! --Here's the roaster to make you 'feel' like a serious roaster.
NEW! A Ten Pound Roaster--Phase II! --The ten pound roaster gets a facelift, and a couple of new features.
