All Brewers Espresso Grinders Accessories Roasters

Sartén
Tasting coffee in a thick pan is free and teaches a lot. Tweet goes unevenly, but you see and hear every stage.
€0–30
Oven with perforated tray
Toast in the house oven with a sturdy tray. Easy and hands-free, though hard to hear the cracks.
€10–20
Hot air palomiter
A hot-air pallet is 75-100 g in a few minutes and fairly uniform. A classic from home-made.
€25–40
Decaper and panifier
A classic home apiece: the panifier removes the grain and a heat gun annoys it. Good control and big tongs.
€45–90
Fogon toaster
Manual toasters for kitchen fire: a ceramic saucepan or a handle pot. Cheap and fun.
€20–60
Fluid bed toaster
Electric toasters that float the grain in hot air. Quick, uniform and with a shell.
€200–1300
Electric drum toaster
A rotating drum with resistance, like a professional miniature toaster. Tanks of up to half a kilo, programs and less smoke.
€400–700
Semi-professional toaster
High-end drum toasters, with data and profiles. For those who touch a lot and want to repeat it with precision.
€3000–4000

This coffee bar runs on coffee… literally. And the odd ko‑fi.
