Experiment with Breadman TR441 Breadmaking Machine.
Goodwill yesterday, $1.50 for a NEW machine.
I have 2 bread machines and this one has a much smaller footprint.
The bowl is a square cyclinder, and the machine is a 500 Watt unit.
The only thing missing is the stirring paddle.
I took it apart in just a few minutes with a Phillips screwdriver.
The first task was to attempt to manually control the motor with a
switch.
After much searching, I accidentally found a very easy way to determine
what 2 points to connect.
I started the machine and like all breadmakers that I have used, it
pulse turned.
The motor is connected to the control board with 3 leads.
I measured the AC Voltage between the Black cord wire and each of the 3
motor contacts.
One went from zero to 120. That's the one.
I turned off the machine and I connected a wire between the 2 contact
points.
Of course, the motor ran contunuosly. Done!
Next, what temperature would the baking chamber go to if the 500 Watt
heater coil would be on continuously?
I wired up the coil to 120 AC and I waited 15 minutes.
Surprise! 450 HOT degrees!
IOW We can consider roasting in a modded 500 Watt bread maker with no
external convection oven or heat gun as a source for additional heat.
After, the Hi temp test, I ran the motor again to check if the bearing
was still OK. The motor turned smoothly and quietly.
BTW I intend to keep the timer function as designed.to time the roasts,
not to control the unit.
The motor control bypass should not affect the machine (nor will the
heater bypass).
A BM has a much stronger motor than a SC and I believe that the chamber
shape makes for better roasting.
I intend to use a heat gun to blow out the chaff and for cool down.
Outside of course.
What fun for $1.50!
I hope that this information will encourage others to consider using a
modded breadmaker roaster.

You'd probably have to replace/expand the factory stirring paddle anyway -
the ones I've seen are all very small and probably would not be adequate to
stir the coffee sufficiently. Just guessing though.
I also wonder whether the teflon pan will like being heated to 450 plus
while largely empty.

Well there's a couple of people over on the Sweetmarias Homeroast List
that are doing it.

Not to rain on your parade and $diety knows I'm not
an expert in roasting coffee.... Don't know beans about
it beyond what I read here.. but
arn't most roasters using air to get the chaff out and
a bread machine would need some sort of vent system to
remove chaff?

Teflon is not PFOA.
Glad you asked, the research was worth it.

Though the same article warns about not heating Teflon over 660=B0F...
and others suggest that it's degradation may begin occurring as low as
460=B0F, though whether anything harmful is released at this temp can
probably be debated.
