Disclosed is a coffee bean temperature detection device, including an accommodation tube, with two opposite openings, and the opening facing the bean in use is a first opening, and the other opening facing away from the bean is a second opening; a fixing element is fixedly arranged in the accommodation tube but does not contact the accommodation tube; a non-contact thermometer is located in the accommodation tube and fixedly arranged on a surface of the fixing element facing the first opening, with the non-contact thermometer facing the first opening and not in contact with the accommodation tube; and a blowing device is fixedly arranged at end of the second opening, and the blowing device blows in a direction towards the non-contact thermometer.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for roasting green beans. The apparatus for roasting green beans according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a roasting kettle in which a roasting portion responsible for roasting green beans is formed; a heating member for heating the roasting kettle during roasting, the heating member being embedded in a heating hole formed in the roasting kettle and integrated with the roasting kettle; and a stirring device which is rotatably mounted inside the roasting kettle and stirs green beans during roasting. By providing heating to the roasting kettle during green bean roasting, the heating member embedded in the heating hole formed in the roasting kettle therefore enables more efficient roasting, resulting in a great decrease in the roasting time of green beans.

The invention concerns an apparatus (10) for roasting coffee beans comprising : - a roasting chamber (1), - an air driver (8) configured to drive air inside the roasting chamber through the bottom opening of said chamber, - a heater (9) configured to heat air driven inside the roasting chamber, - a chaff collector (3) connected to the roasting chamber through a first channel (31), - at least one beans collector (4) for fully roasted beans connected to the roasting chamber through at least one second channel (41), wherein said apparatus comprises a distributing device (5) configured to open either the first channel to the chaff collector (3) only or to the at least one second channel to the at least one beans collector only.

Disclosed is a coffee bean roaster. The coffee bean roaster includes a roasting unit, a sensor arrangement, and a control unit. The roasting unit has a drum with a transparent and removable front wall. The roasting unit further has a hot air supply and a rear wall heater to heat a rear wall of the drum. The sensor arrangement includes a roasting bean temperature sensor. The control unit is configured to receive a control input signal as a function of time, wherein the control input signal includes the roasting bean temperature signal and the roasting bean color signal, and is further configured to automatically generate a control output signal as a function of time in dependence of the control input signal thereby controlling operation of the drum heater and the drum rotor drive to roast the coffee beans inside the drum according to a pre-determined selected roasting profile, wherein the selected roasting profile includes a desired roasting bean temperature as a function of time, a target roasting bean temperature and a target roasting bean color, wherein the control unit is configured to determine if an end-of-roasting-condition is met, wherein the end-of roasting condition includes the coffee beans inside the drum having the target roasting bean temperature.
