Looking To Buy A Coffee Roaster

[kenaklein]

Hello,

I am looking to buy a coffee roaster for my home business.

Interested in Ambex, Diedrich, Probat or Joper. Or anything else that is available. I have been searching for 3 weeks now and haven't come across anything.

How does Has Garanti roasters perform? Would they be worth a look?

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Ken

size does matter!!
Dan at US Roaster has a great sample roaster which can be viewed at You Tube. Any size you need he can build. He also might have some trade ins available. Paul Ribich can help you with an Ambex if you want a new one.

I'm open to anything over 5 kg for around $10k

Check on Ebay. I bought a 15 kilo Ambex for under 10k, works great and no problems.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your input.

I found a Has Garanti on craigslist that looks like a decent roaster. Does anybody
have experience with a Garanti? It is about 10 yrs old.

Hi Ken,

I'm new to this forum but saw that you mentioned Joper, so it caught my eye. We have recently started up a small roastery in Cornwall, UK, and after a lot of research selected a 15kg Joper (imported from Portugal). So far we have been very happy - the build quality is good (much better than a lot of the Turkish models we looked at in terms of welds etc.), and the roast is very even (helped by the influence of the hot-air I'm sure). The only problem we had was removing it from the pallet that it was delivered on - very difficult!

Cheers,

Paul

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum!

How's everyone doing? I'm also looking for a roaster in the US. Any recommendations? I've got some info from roaster manufactures but I can't seem to get info or prices on the Probat and Ambex. Do people work there?
Any suggestions on how I can approach these guys and get some info?

Thanks!

-Joseph

A few years ago I found a company that was manufacturing them in Mexico. They are actually pretty well built imho, a buddy in San Miguel de Allende, GTO has been using one for his wholesale roasting company for over 10 years. Its heavy like an old Probat and they wer something like $6-7 G for a half bagger.

PM me if you'd want some more info, I'd have to hunt for it again.

Ambex and probat are good choices, Toper is not as good as you think it is

 

[greencoffee800]

Go to Ebay or Amazon you will get a number of options.

After roasting on Has Garanti machines for the past four years, we recently took over the US distribution from DCCC. Very happy to talk about HG and all other Turkish roasters if you're still interested.
