Does anyone have more information about this roaster, like pricing and when it will be available for purchase?

Thanks for the link. The forthcoming one pound Micro Rev roaster sounds interesting.

Edit: I realized I was far to restrained in my initial response. I want one! :lol:

This sounds good to me too! I wonder how hard it would be to transition from a Behmor.

Probably going to be a learning curve, for sure. I roast mostly by smell, sound and time with my Behmor. I am looking forward to actually having some idea of BT and an Artisan graph would be ground breaking. The two sticking points for me are the size and price. The options for the next step up from roasting appliances tend to be huge, expensive and/or kludgy or have a dismally small capacity.

Features and considerations.


Provides what you and your customers want. Your customers want and buy Organic, Free trade and other Earth Friendly products; most are also concerned about pollution and the environment. Be the first in your market to do something to show them you care too! You need to be prepared to stay in business with higher energy costs that will continue to rise. Equipment that requires less time to operate and maintain will save costs also. The total electric unit is designed to be able to operate with no stack.


• Dual Heating Paths, Convection heating by air and direct heating though heat transfer though the drum, adjustable to operator's needs.
• Roasters recirculation based on clean heated air coming back into the roast chamber, this prevents the dirty flat musty flavor of conventional recirculating systems! No Computer programing needed! Why make simple complicated!
• Allows control of the oxygen level in air stream during roasting. Many find that the coffee from revelation roasters has better uniformity with fewer defects from scotching and tipping then conventional roasters. Coffee stays roaster fresh longer

with this method.
• Afterburner not needed, Save the environment tons of toxic chemicals and gases per year. Be an Earth Friendly Roaster and do the right thing while you save money. It is getting a blessing for doing the right thing. Uses less energy than any other roaster for a cleaner world and more flavorful products.

• Lower Heating and cooling costs in roasting room due to less make up air needs.
• Face the challenges that declining energy availability, which is causing, climate change, and environment decay today. Be a friend to the environment
• How much will you be saving when fuel costs more-than triple again in the next ten years? The operational costs of an old fashioned roasting system could be putting you out of business instead of just eating your bottom line.

Thanks for the update!!
The pricing is way higher than what I would have liked but the smokeless design is very interesting.

Interesting idea but the marketing is a bit much... 20-30 amps for a 1 kilo roaster is low energy requirement? I have it on good authority that the North uses just under 20 amps and my 2 kilo FZ-94 runs on less than 16amp...
