The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for more convenient roasting of coffee. The apparatus (1) in particular facilitates an improved means for discharging or ejecting the so roasted coffee beans from the apparatus (1). The apparatus (1), which may be a home appliance apparatus, comprises a chamber (10) in which coffee beans can be received for roasting. The apparatus (1) further comprises a device for generating a current of air in order to agitate the coffee beans received by the chamber (10). The chamber (10) is delimited by a bottom (11), a top (12), and a sidewall (13) extending from the bottom (11) to the top (12), wherein the sidewall (13) comprises a discharge port (30), which is selectively moveable between a closed position and an open position, such that the current of air generated by the device can drive the coffee beans through the discharge port (30) to be discharged from the chamber (10), when the discharge port (30) is in the open position.
