Exploring the Huky 500 Coffee Roaster, Part I - Home-Barista.com. Forward to Part 2 of review Forward to Part 3 of review Exploring the Huky 500 Part 1: IntroductionA few months ago, I purchased a Huky 500 stovetop manual coffee roaster (with the solid drum conversion) and would like to share my experiences with the roaster on this forum. This roaster joins the ranks of other Taiwanese/Chinese active-ventilated drum coffee roasters that have been coming out of this region over the last few years. The Hukly 500 consists of primarily four components: the drum roaster itself (which includes a geared down DC motor to rotate the drum), an exhaust pipe, a bean funnel, and then finally an external 6-inch metal-blade rotary fan with the bean tray resting on top.
The motor, also fixed speed, is externalized in a separate housing, which is attached to the roaster by 3 posts. About the ManufacturerThe Huky 500 is an ostensibly "hand-made", made by Kuanho Li, a machinist/fabricator located in Taiwan, who is not operating under a company name (no web site either).
