A drum coffee roaster is a machine that uses a rotating metal cylinder, heated by gas or electricity, to tumble and roast green coffee beans. It combines conductive heat from the hot drum walls with convective heat from the hot air circulating inside, and a single batch usually takes 14 to 20 minutes. That longer, … Read more
The best air coffee roasters for beginners are the ones that let you watch the whole roast happen, react to what you see, and repeat the result. Our pick is the Fresh Roast SR540, a glass-chamber machine with manual heat and fan control that most first-timers buy and most of them never outgrow. We compared … Read more
Most pressure canner roundups quietly mix 6-quart cookers with 40-quart canners and call it a list. This one does not. Every unit below holds at least 21.5 quarts of fluid capacity, which is the line where a pressure canner starts earning its place in a real household kitchen instead of gathering dust in a cabinet. … Read more
If you have a couple of apple trees, a glut of windfall fruit, or a small orchard, the difference between good cider and disappointing cider is almost always the press. Not the recipe. Not the yeast. The machine that squeezes the juice out of shredded apple pulp. We spent comparing twelve manual and water-driven cider … Read more
Hydraulic fruit presses are having a moment, and the reason is simple: they put out more force per pump stroke than any screw press you can twist by hand. The EJWOX 5.3 gallon water-powered bladder press is the one we would buy first, because it runs off an ordinary garden hose, needs no electricity and … Read more
Every autumn, thousands of people buy a cider press, fill a bucket with apples, and then discover the slowest part of the whole process is not the pressing at all. It is the crushing. A hand-chopped apple takes about twenty seconds of knife work, and a season of fruit turns into an evening of prep … Read more
A commercial oil press machine, also sold as an oil expeller or oil extractor, is a machine built to mechanically extract oil from seeds, nuts and kernels at business scale. It is rated by how much raw material it can process per hour and is designed for repeated running, not household batch pressing. That distinction … Read more
The best home oil press machines for seeds split into two very different groups: hand-cranked expellers that need nothing but elbow grease, and countertop electric presses that add a heating element and a motor. If you want a press that works anywhere, survives a power outage, and stores in a drawer, the manual Piteba expeller … Read more
Our best overall pick is the KRUPS F203, a 200-watt fixed-cup blade grinder with a stainless steel blade and an 85g bowl that handles everything from peppercorns to fennel in a single press-and-hold cycle. If you want a bowl you can lift out and rinse, the KRUPS Silent Vortex is the quieter, more washable alternative, … Read more
Most people shopping for a commercial spice grinder start with the same false assumption: that a bigger motor means a better machine. It does not. A 3400W pulverizer can chew through two kilos of peppercorns and still leave you with coarse meal instead of powder, while a 175W purpose-built spice grinder from a food-equipment maker … Read more
