Review This Product

Overview

The newly designed KN-8828B-2-K now gives the user complete manual control of all roast parameters. Simply plug the roaster in and press the "POWER/START" button three times and the roasting process begins. Add the beans when the machine "beeps" (or at your preferred drop-in temperature) and you can either allow it to roast and then eject the beans automatically or you can manually end the roast at any time. As the user advances in their knowledge of coffee roasting, the various parameters of the roast can be easily controlled via the control panel. This Hottop model now comes equipped with a new thermocouple which gives faster and more accurate temperature readings. For more on the thermocouple, read below. The Hottop also comes in a fully programmable model, the KN-8828P-2.

Highlighted Features

  • Maximum Temperature and Maximum Roast Time can be set before the roast begins and the Fan Speed and Heating Element Power can be modified during the roast.
  • &nbsp
  • Ability to Store Three Roast Profiles: At the conclusion of your roast (after the cooling of the beans is completed), the machine will beep and you will be presented with "Stor" in the display. At that time you can easily save the completed roast into non-volatile memory, including all the changes you have made. Up to three roasts can be saved in this manner. A stored roasting profile can be easily selected at the start of a roast, and that profile can be changed during the roast as described above, and then saved again at the end of the process.
  • &nbsp
  • New K-Style Thermocouple: The Hottop has gained a dedicated following among many home roasters. The love for the Hottop has caused many to add one key feature to the Hottop through a fairly complicated modification: a thermocouple. Until now, if one of these dedicated Hottop users wanted to know a more precise bean temperature than the general environmental temperature given by the original hottop button-style thermal sensor, they have had to buy a thermocouple and install it themselves. The Hottop basic model now comes with a new k-style thermocouple which extends out from the rear wall and provides a more accurate display of the bean temperature as well as a faster response time.

Standard Features

  • Roast cycle: 12 to 22 minutes (varies with model). User can add time at end if necessary as well as end roast at any time
  • &nbsp
  • Capacity: 225g - 300g per roasting (250g optimal)

  • &nbsp
  • Heat element: 750 Watts
  • &nbsp
  • Steel Drum: 4 x 8 inches
  • &nbsp
  • Audible signaling of roast progress. This roaster is extremely quiet compared to other home roasters.
