Anyone tried out this roaster? Looks pretty interesting. Seems pretty easy to modify as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAocGUH4ivc

There's no price shown on the website, but with all that stainless, it's got to be expensive.

Interesting design for bean cooling.

Best part: Click Here (www.ecplaza.net)

- Packaging : cartoon

Next best:

operating as easy as cooking instant noodles

I love cartoons and instant noodles, so this must be the coffee roaster for me!

(seriously though, any US dealers? I'm in the market for a new roaster, but some type of support network is highly desirable, unless these are so cheap I can afford to just buy three up front.)

Posted Tue Jul 28, 2009, 9:45am Subject: Re: The Quest M3 Roaster

Yes, the instant noodle comparison sealed the deal for me :D There is a guy at HB who claims he's already ordered one. Paid $970 shipping included to Europe. Mentioned in this thread

The design isn't too bad other than reminding me of one of those hamster wheels, but I think it could be modified to change that and add a few more details such as a tryer and temp probe. It would be tough to choose between this and a Hottop if the prices aren't much different. Not sure what kind of support you'd get with the M3.

I read on another site that an European buyer had one shipped from Taiwan to Germany. The cost delivered was just under $1000 USD.
