It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Most of those machines like the Freshroast and the I roast and there are a couple others are glorified pop corn makers. They aren't designed for longevity especially if you roast on a regular basis. They are more for casual use and light roasts. I had the I roast and it lasted about 2 years of regular use. Go to the Sweet maria's site and they explain all about roasters.

Unfortunately I'm having to choose between junking a popcorn maker every 3-4 months or a little roaster like that every couple of years. I think the cost will more or less balance out in the long run, and I just hate throwing things out more than I have to.
This is one of the many reasons I wish I had more space so some of the other home roasters would be options. However, for the time being, that isn't the case.

Thanked: 172homemade roaster
Cangooner, If you want to spend a little time and less money, say, {approx $20 or less }, I did it for about $18.
Get an old bread machine and a cheap heat gun {from Harbor Freight and the extended warrentee}.
The machine is used for the agitation and gun for heat source. If gun fails use warrentee for a new one.
Here is a look at the one i made and use. Has lasted years and only two guns so far. PM if you have questions.

Paco - I don't know whether to be sorry or relieved that I somehow missed your post earlier! I can just see myself burning the place down with that.
In the end I decided to go with the Freshroast. For me (i.e. pretty low volumes) it offered the best combination of small footprint and reasonable price. I have only done two batches in it so far and so haven't *quite* dialed in the settings for my beans of choice, but it's getting there. I'm happy with it so far.

My favorite coffee right now is Kansas City Blend by The Roasterie out of K.C., Missouri. I can't get it here but will probably tour the factory next month when I visit family in the area.

Very surprised not to see anyone using an ibrik and making Turkish coffee. Since a business trip to Israel a couple years back, it's the only way I have ever made my coffee...
