== Description ==
This is a Java Master 2002 fluid bed coffee roaster, capable of roasting up to 3.5 lbs green beans per batch.
This is a Java Master 2002 fluid bed coffee roaster, capable of roasting up to 3.5 lbs green beans per batch.
=== Loaned Tool ===
This is an official loaned tool with an active agreement on file accepted by a board member May 8th 2023.
== Roast Profile ==
== Roast Profile ==
* City (first crack complete) - 375 F.
* City (first crack complete) - 375 F.
* City+ (significant development beyond first crack) - 380 F.
* City+ (significant development beyond first crack) - 380 F to 390 F.
* Full City (right before second crack) - 390 F (although that may be a bit low and may still be City+.)
* Full City (right before second crack) - 400 F (may be higher.)
* Second crack - 415 F.
* Full City+ (some but not all beans have gone through second crack - 415 F.
* Second crack complete - 420 F.
* French roast - 425 F?
Additional efforts are being made for us to be able to ‘log’ roasts as temperature over time graphs, in order to compare roast profiles for individual beans and measure outcomes.
== Operation Checklist ==
* Get stuff ready:
** Get hopper, funnel, bags from Kitchen
** Weigh beans (Kitchen has a scale)
* Turn Power on
* Turn Heat on
* Check (and, if necessary, empty) chaff collector
* Turn on exhaust fan (switch on wall to the right of the machine)
* Set air and bean temperatures
* Put hopper in place over the blower vents
* Pour in beans
* Make certain the top cap is in place
* Press the Run button
* Hot air heats up beans, eventually beans reach set Bean temperature
* Machine turns off heat, cooling water starts, machine continues to blow air to cool down beans
* Wait for bean temp to drop below 370 F, at which point yellow Reset lamp lights
* The operator can dump the beans now, or continue to cool the beans in the chamber. To dump:
** Press the Stop button.
** Pull the handle to dispense beans into hopper immediately after the beans stop moving. (Leaving them sit still too long is a fire risk.)
** Give the beans a sideways shake in the hopper and let the air vents under the hopper cool the beans.
* Bag the beans
* Turn off Heat and Power switches
* Turn off exhaust fan
* Return hopper, funnel, and supplies
== Safety ==
== Safety ==
* Minimum and maximum load are 1 - 3.5 lbs green beans.
* Minimum and maximum load are 1 - 3.5 lbs green beans.
* Make sure the chaff collector has adequate space. Empty it regularly.
* Make sure the chaff collector has adequate space. Empty it regularly.
* Do not operate without the water connected, the valve on, and the hose not kinked.
* Do not operate without water (this is permanently installed now so it should be fine.)
* Do not operate without the exhaust blower turned on.
* Beans above 300 F, without cooling air flow or not in motion in the roaster, can catch fire. Stopping the roast is therefore bad. A power outage during a roast is also bad. The roast should be allowed to complete.
* Beans above 300 F, without cooling air flow or not in motion in the roaster, can catch fire. Stopping the roast is therefore bad. A power outage during a roast is also bad. The roast should be allowed to complete.
* The roast can safely be stopped once bean temperature reaches the target, the cooling cycle engages, and the beans drop to 370 F. When this happens, the yellow Reset light will illuminate. Beans can be allowed to cool in the chamber, or the roast stopped with the Stop button and the beans then immediately dumped into the cooling hopper by using the lever. Fans on the tabletop in front of the roaster will blow cooling air over the roast beans. Beans will cool in the hopper via cooling fans within about 3-4 minutes after roast.

''Sweet Maria’s is great for the beginning roaster because they provide highly detailed cupping notes, suggestions on what level of roast to use, and their opinion on whether something would make good espresso. But the quality of the beans is a function of the grower, not the importer, and a big part of this adventure is discovery and experimentation. So I’d suggest eventually branching out and trying other importers. Ryan''

The roaster uses a Watlow PID controller (on the left) to control air temperature. It outputs a process value (4-20 mA), which an Avatar Instruments power controller uses to change the power to the heater via SCR phase dimming. The Avatar supports 240 V but the heater itself only can handle 208 V. This machine was designed to operate on 208 V but JavaMaster confirms it can operate on 240 V with an adjustment. Originally, JavaMaster suggested we limit the PID to 70% max output power. But that resulted in unexplained oscillations in temperature typically +/- 30 F. The Avatar includes an optional feature to limit output voltage via the V-LIM trim pot. This was adjusted so 100% on the PID corresponds to 208 V as measured by a true RMS voltmeter. If the machine is ever operated at 208 V again, it will require re-adjustment of this trim pot.
