It’s been a while since I’ve made a blog post here, so I figured when I did, it should be significant. I think this one qualifies.
Yesterday I had the good fortune to spend an hour with a customer and friend, Mike M., observing the operations of his Hottop roaster. We are authorized resellers of Hottops, but quite honestly I had never put one through its paces before this (shame on me, I know). I’ve rectified that situation with a 9-part series of short videos (each is between 1 and 3 minutes long) showing the construction, features and operation of the machine. Overall, I found this machine to be well built, nicely featured, easy to operate and produces a great result.
Each video is embedded below, but here’s a link to the entire playlist.
Here’s a link to Hottop Roasters available through our website. We ship these roasters for free, and include a four-pound green coffee sampler to get you started.
