    Have a read of this thread - they mention a contact at Hoptop direct that you can send an email - sounds like they keep some stock locally in UK:


    Thanks Donnacha.
    Shelly got back to me and I'm going to go ahead and purchase the roaster.
    Can you give me advice on the best sites to buy green beans??

    Thanks!

    I got my hottop directly from the manufacturer. The process was a bit weird but it worked well in the end and I am very happy with it.

    I think I went through alibaba.com but I have the details somewhere if you want them?

    PS: Sorry just seeing you have already contacted them

    I normally got my beans from Coffemojo.ie or sweetmaria.com.

    The best thing about green beans is that they wont go stale for months so shipping delays are not an issue.

    It cost me around 14-18 euro per kg, that's 4 euro per 250 gr of unroasted coffee (around 212 gr after roasted). Sweetmaria is cheaper but shipping cost will bring costs up to around the same price.

    You are gonna love the hottop, great machine, very easy to use. I have had it for 2 years and never had a single issue with it. I use it about 2 times a week

    The LCD display on our hot top (the fancy pants model) is starting to go. There's blank areas across two bands of the display. Luckily it doesn't impact on the entered profiles working, but it may well be that the whole thing could go blank, which would be a problem.

    How long did you have it for? I had mine for a good few years now (I think almost 3) and is still looking ok.

    I suppose you know that you can replace the front LCD display but it is not cheap

    We have the roaster a good few years - 2008 possibly?

    I saw that alright - but unless the display gets worse, it's still usable.

    Do any of the home roasters on the market do batches of 500g or is 250g the norm ?
