Nesco CR-1010-PR Coffee Bean Roaster, Black

August 30, 2018 By KaffeeMaster

The NESCO CR-1010-PR Coffee Bean Roaster is a coffee lover’s delight. This roaster makes it possible to achieve freshness and a good quality roast that helps you achieve gourmet coffee at your finger tips.

Features

  • There are Preset digital controls that let you automatically roast the coffee and cool it down with the touch of a button.
  • Roast up to 1/3 lb. of raw beans in less than 30 minutes
  • The roaster uses a patented Catalytic technology which helps to reduce smoke and odor during roasting
  • It has a Powerful agitator which helps develop a uniform roast
  • Creates freshly roasted coffee for the home enthusiast
  • Counter Top Roaster
  • 800 Watts/120 Volt


With the The NESCO CR-1010-PR Coffee Bean Roaster , you can create your own coffee from your favorite coffee beans  and can experiment with various bean combinations. This roaster allows you to roast up to 1/3 lb of beans per 20 to 30 Minutes.

This roaster creates an even roast with a uniform color while providing the capability of developing varying roasts (from light to dark)

NESCO’s Patented Catalytic Converter could be the  beginning of a new era in coffee roasting and a key step in the process of making good tasting coffee, even for the beginner. The Nesco unique auger-driven agitator operates quietly, and it has a catalytic converter in the exhaust system that eliminates a much of the smoke created during the roast.

Nesco recommends the following roast times:

  • Light Roast: 20-22 minutes
  • Medium Roast: 23-26 minutes
  • Dark Roast: 27-30+ minutes

We recommend this home roaster. You will want to take into account that dark roasts take a longer time and you might not be able to reach a full French (dark) roast.

Pros

  • Good at creating lighter city roasts
  • Nice size footprint
  • Smoke-neutralizing catalytic converter makes it more smoke free than other roasters in this class
  • The Nesco Home Roaster may be the best small appliance you have ever purchased.
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • Ther have been reports that this machine may wear out pretty quickly, under general use
  • You can’t easily make a huge supply of cofee. Each roast will likely only net one pot of coffee (depending on your consumption). However, this can also be considered a plus, since you are getting freshness on an as-needed basis.
