<1 year out problem - M. Beall, Oct 29, 2009

My wife bought an IRoast2 for me for Christmas last year; I loved it and have enjoyed using the machine. HowEVER, the last 2X I have used it, it has stopped ~6min into the roasting time. GRRRrrr! I have contacted them and am awaiting reply--replacement--of motor unit. Read the return policy. Also noticed they are now "not available." Hard to take at $199 a pop! Im disappointed

Don't buy it! - CafeenMonkey, Jun 22, 2009

Save your money and don't get an IRoast, also known as an IRoar. It is so loud that it is impossible to hear first crack.It is so loud that you can't hear anything. If you tell me you hear second crack you aren't telling the truth. You can't use color as a guide, as oils may come out after sitting a day. The only way to use this is recording in a journal and using trial and error. I put mine on eBay and got a Behmor 1600 and am happy.

Roast your own - Frank Paolino, Jun 08, 2009

I too thought this would end up with the bread maker, the pasta maker, the juicer, etc. but I've been using it for over a year and I make some of the best coffee around.

I make espresso and cafe creme, our favorite from a Paris trip. I am getting so good that my wife really won't drink any other espresso. But the credit goes to the roaster and the basic fact that beans have a < 7 day shelf life. You must wait 12 hours for them to breathe, then they are awesome if used with a good burr grinder. One warning: Roasting must be done outside as the beans smoke when heated to > 400 degrees and they smell something like burnt popcorn.

My neighbors see me outside in the dead of a New England winter and wonder what I am doing. Why not just buy Starbucks beans? If you have to ask you'll never know.

Good product but needs to be built better - Amanda L. Randall, Jun 01, 2009

I won't go into the roasting details - other reviewers have covered this very well.

This is the 3rd iRoast I've owned. Although the do a good job roasting, they seem to last less then 2 years before something goes wrong with them. This time the glass has broken at the top of it.

Great Product - I have had no problems - D. Vinsand, May 03, 2009

I have had the i-Roast 2 for about 6 months now and really like it. I set up a roasting profile that I like and use it about every other day, because the beans last me two days. Smoke: I just close my kitchen door and turn on the vent and I have had no problems.

The only downside for me is noise. It is noisy and I live in an apartment, so I try to keep my roasting to reasonable hours.
