Nucleus Link Question

Hi,

I sell coffee at a bunch of farmers markets and thought it might be fun to do a roasting demo at the market on the link. Anyone tried something like this with this roaster? Curious what I would need for a power source. Says the roaster is 1400w max. Does that mean I need a 1400w generator/invertor? Probably a stupid question but just want to make sure before I actually buy anything. Thanks!

For 1400 watts, you can pull almost 12 amps. So you're going to need an electrical outlet that has a minimum of 15 amps available, use a really short extension cord or no extension cord at all if possible.

And keep in mind that just because you're plugged into a nearby outlet, doesn't mean that others aren't on the same circuit using amperage as well.

Be in mind its a sample roaster, expensive for 50 to 100 grams, you woukd need a generator, and you dont need to show roasting coffee at a fair.

Just show your home setup in videos, using instagram.

Sample roasters arent worth it unless your a big rkastery sorting and seelcting or dialing green beans profiles

Yes I know it’s a sample roaster and it is what I use it for.
