The invention concerns a method to determine the recipe Rym for roasting a quantity m of a type Cy coffee beans in a particular type of roasting apparatus, said recipe Rym providing setpoints (Tym@ti; ti), wherein the method comprises the steps of:—getting access to: ⋅a rule to calculate the roasting recipe adapted to the roasting of a quantity of beans, said quantity being comprised in a list of pre-determined quantities (M, M±Δx), from any pre-existing roasting recipe adapted to the roasting of another quantity of beans in said particular type of roasting apparatus, said another quantity being comprised in the list of pre-determined quantities (M, M±Δx), and to at least one pre-determined original roasting recipe RyMoriginal adapted to the roasting of one original pre-determined quantity Moriginal of the type Cy coffee beans, and—based on the comparison between m, the accessible original pre-determined quantity Moriginal and the accessible pre-determined quantities of the list (M, M±Δx), determining the roasting recipe Rym to be applied on said quantity m of coffee beans.

A coffee bean roasting machine includes a roast chamber for accommodating coffee beans, a hot blast device for supplying hot or cool air to the roast chamber, and a collection chamber for collecting the outer skins of coffee beans. The collection chamber is in communication with the roast chamber and the bottom of the roast chamber includes a first bean outlet where a chamber door is set for open and close. Coffee beans can be easily taken out from the coffee bean roasting machine, without lifting up the whole roasting machine and tipping it over.

The invention concerns a method of roasting coffee beans with a roasting apparatus (X), said roasting apparatus comprising a control system (80) configured to control the heating device (2) and to reproduce roasting recipes, said control implementing a feedback loop regulation based on the temperature Treg measured by the at least one temperature probe (5), wherein, before roasting coffee beans by reproducing coffee beans roasting recipes defined with one specific master roasting apparatus (M), the feedback loop regulation is adjusted, said operation of adjustment comprising the step applying pre-determined correction KC to the feedback loop regulation.
