Due to the high conductivity of the copper, and the minimal thermal accumulation, this roaster behaves -and feels- like driving a Formula 1 racing car.FZ-RR 700 was designed by our top engineers to deliver an exciting, true, “cult” tool. A must-have collectible item for coffee passionates.Get it now!FZ-RR 700 is available in two versions: manual and motorized (12V).

  • I have purchased a manual model about a year ago as a backup for my bigger Coffee-Tech 2.5lb Torrefattore roaster. I also use it as a sample roaster. This is a great little device that is capable of roasting enough coffee for a week in one or two batches. Since I have owned previously hot air roasters (Hearthware Precision and I-Roast 2) I can comment that I definitely prefer roasts from FZ-RR 700, which are rounder, sweeter, more aromatic and have fuller flavor spectrum. I also like the full control over heating and mixing that this device offers, allowing to explore the influence of faster or slower heating on flavor profile.

    While this device shines in roasting, the convenience (or better lack of convenience) features may not fit everyone. While you don’t need a vent and there is almost no chaff escaping the drum, you will still need to take care of cooling and chaff separation (I use two colanders for this). Bean inspection during roasting is also not very convenient. Those are the reasons I rated it four and not five stars.

    On the other hand, it’s simplicity and durability is definitely a big plus as opposed to most other home roasting appliances made with use of plastic and containing electronic components that tend to fail at some point.

    Traditional roast is revived! – A. Tushinsky –
    This machine is intended for home use, it can even take around 8-10
    ounces per cycle, easy to use, simple tool and cool design.

    I have it a year, every 2nd Saturday I am roasting a great coffee blend
    which makes my friends and family visit me mainly for the coffee… it
    is roasted like 150-200 years ago in Italy, with a high quality resault
    which makes every cup of coffee a fiesta to the mouth.

    My personal opinion is that for the price range it is the best product
    Vs. the hot wind technology of the other machines which dry’s out the
    beans.

    Another thing to know is that coffee green beans cost less than half
    of the roasted coffe which is under different labels.

    I recommend the electric model, but the manual is also a great fun.

    An amazing (functional!) piece of art ! – S. Mohel –
    Using Coffee-Tech’s Torrefattore (1 Kg) roasting machine for over 5 years now, I was glad to find out I am now able to have a mobile roasting machine to use at home and at friends’ houses, BBQs etc. This all copper machine gives excellent results and can even roast blends perfectly. I just love it !
