{"title":"Hottop","description":"\u003cp id=\"DCOTW6T\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHottop Roaster\u003c\/strong\u003e is for those who want larger batches and longer roasts, mimicking a commercial type roast-and-cool cycle on a robust home machine. Roasting with the Hottop does require extra effort on behalf of the user. You'll need to develop an understanding of the sights, sounds, and smells of the coffee roasting process to get your desired results. Roasting with your senses is rewarded on a machine like the Hottop, which gives you a close-up view of the batch during the roast cycle and, well... produces so much roast aroma.

Hottop recomends replacing these every 20 roasts. I personally have washed them clean, dried them thoroughly, and kept on roasting for a longer than 20 roasts. Really, the machine produces a lot of smoke even with a fresh filter in there. So why not just roast without a filter? Because it changes the way heat is cycled through the roaster ... so keep the filter in there, and make sure it's in reasonably good shape. Ignore discoloration, avoid too much build-up on it. If the roaster is getting too hot - ejecting roasts before they are programmed to end, it could be that you need a new filter. The filter includes the plastic housing, as pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46204987965590,"sku":"PART-REAR-0237","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/hottop-rear-filter-1.jpg?v=1769166799"},{"product_id":"hottop-upper-filter","title":"Hottop Upper Filter (with metal housing)","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"row\" data-appearance=\"contained\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-enable-parallax=\"0\" data-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-element=\"inner\" data-pb-style=\"60C978E8638C9\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\" data-pb-style=\"60C978E8638DD\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the replacement for the top filter on the Hot Top.

But this method, roasting with your senses, is made simple with a machine that gives a close-up view of the coffee during the roast cycle via the sight glass, and produces a lot of roast aroma (read this as smoke!). Yep, if you roast more coffee you are going to get more smoke. There's no way around it. You are going to need ventilation, ideally by using it under a kitchen vent hood or near an open window. The roast profile you can achieve in the Hottop is closer to the results of a commercial drum roaster than the smaller home air roasters can get.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hottop can accomplish a range of roast levels, and even works well for those who like darker roasts because it won't bake out your coffee with a longer-than-ideal roast time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning: This machine drop ships from the manufacturer, not the Sweet Maria's Warehouse.
