Air roasters, which use hot air to roast and move coffee in a chamber, are an accessible and cost-effective way to start home coffee roasting. They have basic to intermediate control, and don't take up too much space on your countertop. These machines have a small batch size that's ideal for roasting for a home of one to two people.
Watch out: air roasters are especially sensitive to variables like voltage and ambient temperature. Check out our overview on roasting with a popcorn popper, which addresses these challenges and offers more tips to start, in our coffee library.
