Welcome to the Ultimate DIY Coffee Roaster Build Series!

In this exciting multi-part video series, we take you step-by-step through the process of building a coffee roaster from scratch using an old, repurposed barbecue grill. If you've ever dreamed of roasting your own coffee beans at home but didn’t want to spend hundreds (or even thousands) on expensive commercial machines, then this is the perfect DIY project for you!

By the end of the series, I have a fully functional, custom-built coffee roaster that can handle medium to large batches of beans with ease. And because I'm building it myself, I’ll have complete control over every aspect of the roasting process—from heat control and airflow to custom modifications. It’s an incredibly rewarding experience and a great way to get deeper into the world of home coffee roasting.

What's This Series About?
This video series is a comprehensive guide to building a DIY coffee roaster from the ground up. Using a repurposed BBQ grill as the main body, we transform it into a high-quality coffee roaster that will allow you to roast beans in the comfort of your own home. You’ll learn everything from cleaning the BBQ, assembling the burners, and creating the roasting drum, to building the control panel and setting up a cooling tray.

In This Episode:
EP.3.5: Fitting the Roasting DrumIn this episode, we tackle the fitting of the roasting drum into the frame. This step requires precise measurements and adjustments to ensure the drum fits properly within the BBQ structure, rotates without resistance, and is secured safely. We’ll also discuss heat insulation and the importance of controlling temperature within the drum to ensure optimal roast quality.
Key Topics: Drum fitting, securing the rotation mechanism, adjusting for airflow, and heat management.

In The Next Episode
EP.4. Making the Bean Tester ProbeNow that your roaster is coming together, it’s time to create a bean tester probe, which is crucial for assessing the roast level during the process. This probe will allow you to pull out a small sample of beans during the roast to check their color and texture. We’ll walk you through how to build a simple yet effective tester probe system and how to integrate it into your roaster for easy access.
Key Topics: Building a bean tester, sampling during roasting, and checking roast levels.
