A kitchen scale
From a 250g package of green coffee beans you can expect approximately 210-220g of roasted coffee, since the beans lose some weight (and increase in volume). That's about 20-25 cups of coffee, which is usually enough for one person's weekly needs.
With the home roaster We recommend roasting approximately 50g at a time.
In the convection oven – 100 g. To measure this amount, you need kitchen scales.

A sieve
After roasting, you should Cool the coffee down as quickly as possible . You'll need a sieve for this. Stir the brewed beans in it – ideally outside or in front of a window. If you don't cool the coffee, it will continue to bake, as the inside of the bean will have heated up to 200 degrees Celsius. This will result in an undesirable bready taste.
A rag
During roasting, very thin skins, also called silverskin, detach from the beans. If you're roasting in a convection oven, you should wipe the inside surface with a damp cloth afterward. If you're using a home roaster, you should place a sieve with a damp cloth in it in front of the appliance. The silverskin will collect there.
