Coffee Roaster Accessory

[jhw7931]

I love coffee and would love to see an accessory that would use the rotissery to roast coffee beans.

A stainless steel basket with swing open door would be ideal.

The KK can do so much, so why not roast coffee?

Is there onyone else who would like to see this or only me?

Interesting idea for sure!

Looks like you could roast chiles with it, too!

 

 

As far as roasting coffee beans, I'd think that you'd pick up too much smoky flavors that would overwhelm some of the milder coffee flavors, unless you're going for a really dark roast/espresso. The pictures are using a gas grill, which would probably make more sense for a lighter roast. But, having never done it, I'm just guessing.

There are wood fired roasters...and with the coco-char I think it would have neutral flavor impart...and without the moisture of gas.  I'm well down the espresso rabbit hole...but being able to use my KK to embark on coffee roasting at home would allow me to go deeper

I use a Gene roaster and it is my favorite of all I have tried. Using the KK would be fun, especially after you are finished with your meat cook. The KK is fired up anyway, so roast a batch. It would be a minor PIA to use as a primary roaster though.
