美国的著名咖啡网站SM已经不在发售Swissmar的烘焙机，因为网站觉得这个牌子的烘焙机已经错过了改进自己产品的时机，也没有进行有效的改进，来保障产品稳定可靠的工作，原文如下：
The new model of the roaster by Swissmar – the Bravi – has come out and we have decided not to carry it. It does have improved safety features and ought to be easier to use and clean, but we felt like Swissmar missed an opportunity to really add features to the roaster that would improve its performance and use – namely, a window to see the roast in progress. Some folks have said the new Bravi works well – others say it is not so good. I am sure you can read all about it on consumer review sites. The units are expensive and just not that much of an improvement to warrant us carrying the item. We recommend the HotTop for the folks interested in the largest batch size they can get in a home roasting machine. Stovetop roasting is also a good option for folks looking to roast more coffee at once. – Maria 2/8/06
Swissmar alpenrost烘焙机机器额定的最大烘焙量是227克，但是使用180克左右的时候，烘焙得更均匀，烘焙的咖啡豆越少，烘焙得越均匀。
根据咖啡豆的特性，选择烘焙刻度。
烘焙的过程中，不能断电；如果深度烘焙，要注意排烟。
烘焙快结束的时候，可以迅速揭开盖子，观察判断一下咖啡豆的烘焙程度。要根据声音、味道、颜色等等作出判断、处理。如果颜色达到自己的要求，可以直接按”Cool”，冷却出豆。全自动运行，正转烘焙搅拌，出豆的时候反转。
这款机器，在国外某些网站只卖280美金左右，合人民币2230元左右，这其中包括了运费、关税、利润、往往还附送几磅生豆；但在大陆，往往要卖4500左右；结构简单，成本也不高，是在中国大陆贴牌生产的；哎，都是炎黄子孙，为什么偏偏要黑中华同胞自己的钱。
