Never heard of an optical roaster. What makes it 'optical'? Why are you interested in it as opposed to the old standard/proven roaster?

It looks like a giant popcorn popper.

It looks like a Sivetz style air roaster about large popper size. Gimmicky as all hell. Good for a supermarket or tourist trap.

That leaves my second question for the OP. Why are you attracted to these roasters?

 

[egan]

thanks folks - a pal of mine has a small grocery and wants folk to be able to roast their own - and your right John Gimmicky as all hell!

Looks like it would be perfect for that operation.
