Quick tip for Dave and any other Freshroast users out there: don't let five years pass with your machine before taking it apart for a cleaning! I took mine apart the other day and the amount of chaff, dust, and spider webs (!) I discovered made me thankful in retrospect that the thing hadn't caught fire.
Also, be careful when re-assembling. My caveman electronics skills led to me pressing too hard on a connector which forced a couple of pins to push through and disconnect from the control board, which then tested my even more caveman-esque soldering skills to patch it up. But it's up and running again.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

Sorry Cangooner! I use a machine for grinding and another for making coffee! That pic must be from some do it all machine… Or else!
The only machines that I know that do-it-all, are the Philips Saeco… Those explode when they cannot make coffee! heheheheLast edited by aaron1266; 02-24-2018 at 05:44 PM.

It's a roaster.

Wow! What does it roast? Wood? Or better, What kind of beans do you roast? Those looks anything but arabiga beans!

Cangooner: Sorry for your loss… You must be some of the lone fans of "Coffee robusta" as it looks like…

Be assured robusta has never, and never will, come into contact with my roaster. You're basing your assumption on a photo of chaff and dust? Originally Posted by aaron1266

It seems from the size of the leftovers! But now that you have mentioned some of the best coffee in the world, I believe you!. Originally Posted by Cangooner

Well, considering that chaff accumulated over the five or so years I have been using the roaster, it could be from any number of bean types. I almost exclusively roast Ehtiopian beans at the moment (mostly Sidamo, some Yirgacheffe), but have roasted beans from Sumatra, Costa Rica, Mexico, Honduras, Brazil, Guatemala, Kenya, Nicaragua, Tanzania... possibly others I've forgotten. But Sidamo is my favourite. Originally Posted by aaron1266
