I laughed when I saw the BBQ in the early days. That's where I am at in my roaster progression.

By that math, you, too, will have a chocolate factory! 😀

I am using a bakery oven and perforated trays to roast the beans.

How are you liking th results? I bet it does a great job!

@@CraftChocolateTV It is an oven with a capacity of 6 trays and I can toast 15 kilos in 40 minutes, which is good for a small scale.

What is the reason behind, when roasting cacao, wanting the drum speed to be slower than when roasting coffee?

@CraftChocolateTV 13 күн бұрын

Cacao beans require less heat and more time than coffee beans. Coffee beans need higher heat, which also requires faster speeds.

Since Manoa's recent expansion, what type of roaster did you guys graduate to...or are you still using the coffee bean drum roasters?

Hello Mr. Daylan and Mr . Greg. I am Luis from Puerto Rico. I have 500 cacao trees.

Hey Luis, I'm interested in talking to you about your cacao. I'm working on a bean to bar project that focuses on USA and US territory grown cacao.

Can you roast cocoa beans in an Aillio Bullet?

What do you recommend for the at home roaster? I got into cacao as a coffee alternative. Buying whole beans from a wholesale health food store. Been roasting in my oven at home in a cast iron skillet. Open to any and all suggestions -- unclear if I'm doing this effectively.

I use a Behmor. Fairly affordable and relatively easy.

There's nothing wrong with a convection oven or even a conventional oven to achieve the task, unless you want to take it to another level and scale up! The skillet might end up heating up one side of the beans a lot more than the other though. How have you enjoyed the results so far?
