ABSTRACT:
An improved coffee roaster (10) for roasting a selected volume of coffee beans in a relatively quick and efficient manner. A roasting cavity (66) is provided for receiving and roasting a selected volume of green coffee beans. A timer (158) is provided for controlling the roasting time. A heating coil (32) is provided for generating heat to roast the coffee beans. A motor (24) drives a fan (30), which forces air through the heating coil (32) and toward the roasting cavity (66). Slots (76) defined by the roasting cavity (66) direct the heated air into the roasting cavity (66) such that the coffee beans are agitated and roasted. Chaff is evacuated with the air through the opening (74) in the top of the roasting cavity (66). A chaff collector (20) is provided for collecting the chaff evacuated while allowing the escape of air.
