I love bean baking machine (1)-my Italian classical hot fan Vittoria coffee roaster

Recalling that I first came into contact with my own baking, I should start from my old friend James, the founder of FikaFika, who founded the first Huangding coffee sold online with high-quality raw beans in Taiwan in 2000. FikaFika's online raw bean purchase platform lowered the threshold for baking players and indirectly triggered a craze for home-baking in Taiwan.

My first home-made baking equipment was a milk powder can roaster that I nailed out slowly during the graduate school period. Later, because I often made the kitchen a mess (in fact, people are afraid of sour ←), I found a reason to upgrade to a popcorn machine, and the plan to upgrade the family in the next decade or so was also carried out:

Popcorn machine (electric hot air)-> FR (Fresh Roast) (electric hot air)-> Quest M3 (electric heat semi-direct fire)-> Mini 500 (gas semi-straight fire)-- > Probat Probatino (gas semi-straight fire)-- → today's heroine 5kg Vittoria (gas hot air)

Vittoria is a company founded in Italy in 1919, which mainly produces motor motors, bean grinders and coffee roasters. Today's Vittoria has been acquired into a Spanish company, mainly producing large hot air baking equipment (www.vittoria.es).

The 5kg Vittoria I bought from an Italian collector in early 2012 is an Italian Spitfire hot fan made in the bologna factory in Italy in the 1950s.

The original Vittoria hot air combustion flamethrower needs to be ignited manually.

In terms of the characteristics of the Vittoria bean baking machine, I personally think that the advantages of the hot fan already have, but most of the gas hot fans on the market are basically 15kg take-off, 5kg's machine is relatively convenient for me, and because his mixing design is quite good, once the lowest drying 120g, the products are quite uniform and satisfactory.

My Italian friend who used the same bean dryer gave me an apt description. He said that every time he used the Vittoria bean dryer, he felt as warm-blooded and excited as driving a 1950s Alfa Romeo sports car.

However, behind this beauty, it takes a lot of effort to organize the machine and be familiar with the baking mode, but this is the fun of the players.
