Things have changed since the i-Roast 2 first came out four years ago. There are more roasters available, more choices in batch sizes programmability. So we recently re-tested the i-Roast 2 to try to see it with new eyes.
The i-Roast 2 gives you about the same batch size of the Fresh Roast SR300 or SR500, a more even roast and better control. The quality of the roast is very good. The cooling cycle is effective and the machine is easy to use on the preset settings. The i-Roast 2 is a good choice for a 1 or 2 coffee drinker household, especially if you know that you like the brighter, cleaner style of roast that an air roaster produces.
Be sure to check out our Extended Review for lots more photos and discussion of the i-Roast 2.
