A High Efficiency Coffee Roaster Development Based on Gas Baking Technology for Home Use

Article Preview

Abstract:

Home coffee roasting becomes increasingly popular in recent years. Besides freshness, coffee lover can achieve personal favorite flavors and make it with fun. In this paper, a new coffee roaster development based on gas baking method is introduced. Premixed fuel and direct-fired baking technologies are adapted for increasing energy efficiency, in which premixed flame contacts the beans inside the vertical-rotated drum. Meanwhile, a touch screen controller with fancy human machine interface is also designed for presetting roasting modes, controlling the procedures of roasting, and/or storing recent roast profile for use at other time. Experimental results show that the proposed structure is eco friendly, enriches the energy efficiency, reduces the gaseous emission, and achieves a consistent roast.
