Not Happy With Your Coffee Roasting Method?
You already know much better fresh roasted coffee tastes, and you can’t go back to store-bought brands. But, you’re frustrated with the experience of trying to use small appliances or stand over the stove. RK Drums offers quality drums that will help you produce more coffee while getting consistent roasts every time.
Can I Roast Enough To Share?
News has spread that you’re the coffee roasting expert among your friends and family, and you’re getting more and more requests for some fresh roasted coffee. Unfortunately, the popcorn popper or stovetop method just isn’t keeping up.
With an RK Drum, you can roast between 1 to 12 lbs of coffee at once, and get consistent results every time.
needed to roast larger batches
I have run the gamut when it comes to roasting coffee beans, from an air popcorn, to an 8 ounce roaster. Finally I decided I needed something to roast a larger batch.

I'd Like More Consistent Results...
The popcorn popper and frying pan weren’t designed to roast coffee, so it’s no surprise they aren’t the best equipment for the job.
Reliable roasting equipment needs:
- A Powerful & Quickly Adjustable Heat Source
- Rotation for Even Heating Of The Beans
- Accurate Temperature Measurement of The Roasting Chamber
- A Way To Quickly Empty The Beans Into Cooling Equipment
The RK Drums Everything Kit plus a Common Grill meets these requirements, and is a cost-effective solution.
is roasting with RK drums easier than ______?
Once you learn what to do, we think that you’ll find the RK Drums Roaster is super easy to use. The RK Drums Everything Kit comes with a motor that attaches to the rotisserie rod, and provides all of the rotation for even roasting of the coffee beans. All you have to do is load the beans, set the temperature, turn on the motor and unload the beans when they’re done.

How Does The RK Drums Roaster Work?
Many people ask:
- What equipment do I need?
- What grills work with the RK Drum?
- Can I use a rotisserie motor with the RK Drum?
You will need an RK Drums Everything Kit, a grill and some method of cooling the beans.
But I Need To Know The Temperature Of the Beans...
We teach a method of roasting coffee that involves learning the signs of the roast and targeting a specific finish time. It’s easy to learn, (we teach over-the-phone), and it produces the most reliable results you can get, even compared to large commercial roasting equipment.
No direct bean temperature measurements are needed – you only need to know the temperature inside the grill.
roasts are a LOT more consistent
It took a bit of time to get used to not seeing the roast but once I found the right temperature to get the roast time dialed in, I find that my roasts are a LOT more consistent.
