Paula,

Can you describe the Royal? Like is it IR or direct flame? I use a Probat 5L and have not yet had the chance to roast on a Dietrich. I did get to inspect a 12 kilo IR Dietrich the other day. Nice Roaster.

What is the vintage of your Royal?

Joseph,

It's a vintage Royal #5.  I believe the flame is direct & the drum is perforated, compared to the IR & chaff collector.

Hey Wendell, I'm not selling it yet but I'll keep you in the loop.  Do you live in Canada?

Paula.

I live in Ohio, what is your location? Did you get your replacement yet? I'm attending CoffeeFest this weekend in Chicago.

I have a Royal #5 in mint condition with all the original parts.  Willing to travel to teach roasting and barista workshops.  I am familiar with all other roasters and able to install and repair old and new roasters as well as set up roasting & packaging equipment.  Roasting on my #5 in Hawaii since 1984 and these roasters out preform any other roaster ever made (my opinion).  I have roasted on Probat, Fluid Bed Sivets, Diedrich and Royals.  With a little understanding you can create a roast profile that will improve on almost any grade and quality of coffee with a Royal #5.  Just sold our shop (www.konabrotherscoffee.com) and am considering selling the Royal #5.  Currently traveling to visit family and consulting on the mainland. Wish you well with your Royal.  A direct reply e-mail is O.K. as this is the first time I have visited this site. Paul Nangle

Paul,

Thank you for your incite and experience with this machine and topic. I will be in the market for a larger roaster soon, 15kilo or bigger, and will be looking at all makes. Currently roasting with a Probat.
