Tritogenia Variable Speed Rotisserie Motor 0-55RPMs 12V Electric Motor Suitable for Coffee Roasting Propane Grills - Without Battery Cable

I have been using my variable speed motor for coffee roasting on my home grill for about 10 months now. It is powerful, I use it 2-3 times per month to turn my 2.5 kg capacity roasting drum at 50-60 rpm for up to 40 minutes at a stretch. The motor is easy to set up, fits standard rotisserie kits, turns both directions and is readily adjustable to different speeds via a simple dial. Even better than the motor itself though is the exceptional customer service provided by the people behind Triptogenia. When I first ordered the wrong motor (totally my fault - I ordered the wrong size attachment for my grill) they had a replacement delivered to me ON THE SAME DAY! Now, 10 months later when I was having trouble with the power delivered to the motor, they responded to my email inquiry with a phone call within hours (on the Sunday before Christmas no less) and my problem was resolved promptly. It is so refreshing to encounter people who truly stand by their product and care about their customers' experience over the long term. My motor is still working great, but I will not hesitate to reorder from Triptogenia when I need a replacement.

I owned and used the last version of this motor for coffee bean roasting for 9 years with no challenges before I think I burned it out due to it just being too close to the grill heat. The motor was great for coffee roasting. I bought the new version and seem to have stripped the motor coupling after using it just a few times. I thought it was my fault, and I had used the previous one for so long that I just ordered a new one rather than submitting a warranty claim. I used the new one just a few times again before stripping the coupling. I contacted them and getting a fix was super easy. Despite the challenges with the most recent motor, they made things super easy, and I've had more than 10 years of solid coffee roasting with their products, so I definitely recommend this motor and manufacturer.

Good product for spinning coffee. Be aware that if the basket is too heavy the little sleeve insert will come loose and stall basket from spinning.

I'm using this for roasting coffee with RK Drum on BBQ. The higher speed enables an even roast. Seems to to be well made. Update: on two occasions the couple for the rotisserie spit has come of. The most recent time I thought it was more serious. They were very helpful, and it is working well again. It's a little noisy, but possible the rotisserie shaft is rubbing on the BBQ. I question whether this would be strong enough if I were using one of the larger RK drums, but I use the 2 Lb. drum. The combination works great. It is more of an art than using one of the high tech roasters, because you have to rely on the smell and the sound of the roast. You have to dial it in, but I like that process. Update: it lasted for only about a year. It generally worked well until it suddenly quit. It was a bit pricey to only last that long, so I wouldn't, and won't buy it again.

Worked for about half hour and quit... will not run at all. Waste of money!! Took a chance and ordered a second one and that was a mistake... if you want something that will be dependable do not order this brand you will regret it!

I enjoy roasting my own coffee, with my propane bbq. This product was the perfect fit for the style of roasting that I do. After 11 months and many many hours of roasting, the variable speed stopped working and was running too fast. I used the device quite a bit and wanted to order replacement parts. I was willing to pay, since I got way more life out of the device than reasonably expected. After sending an email to the seller, I got a phone call, within a couple of hours. He asked me a couple of questions, as well as my order number. He determined that it was within the warranty period and sent me replacement parts without any delay. I had my new parts a couple of days later and I am very satisfied! I definitely recommend this product as well as it's seller :)

Looks like a quality product but I will have to try and fix it before I can use it. The mounting plate is bent and the shaft is rubbing against the plate so bad that the motor stops. For what I spent on this I shouldn't have to deal with this issue. No matter how carefully I attempt to bend the plate back it won't be perfect.

I purchased this motor in January 2017 for coffee roasting. Love the feature like variable speed and the switch to control the direction of the rotation. I've been using this every 10 days or so, only failed in May of 2022. I contacted the number on their website, and the owner kindly walked me through the problem--turned out it was not the motor, but the adapter which failed. I just got the new adopter for $20 on their site and viola! Everything works like a charm. I highly recommend this motor!
