It's cost-effective, easy to use, and can roast larger batch sizes than more \"advanced\" machines in its price range. For coffee roasting traditionalists, stovetop roasting is closest to the cowboy-style roasting of the American West, and more prominently, the coffee roasting ceremonies of Ethiopia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurious?
