If the first pandemic-spurred lockdown drove us all to bake bread, perhaps quarantine 2.0 will inspire people to roast their own coffee beans. If so, devices like the BeanBon could become all the rage.
Launching on Kickstarter today, the BeanBon is a countertop home coffee roasting appliance system that can roast up to 120 grams of raw coffee beans at a time. Users can choose from three modes:
SmartMode: Select from one of eight pre-set profiles to roast coffee with the push of a button. Adjustments can be made in the accompanying app.
Creator Mode: Lets users manually control different roasting parameters such as heat, exhaust levels, roast time, etc. Settings can be saved and shared with the BeanBon community.
Guru Mode: Allows users to experiment with the roast profiles created by professional coffee roasters.
Any raw coffee bean can be used, and BeanBon offers a curated selection on its site for purchase. There is even a special "BeanBon X Champs" variety that includes a QR code to use special Guru Mode roasting instructions.
