The level of customization preferred by the average consumer is reaching new highs with products like the 'ZenRoast' coffee bean roaster being developed to satiate demand.

Crafted from ceramic, the 'ZenRoast' allows coffee drinkers to [manually roast the beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allmetal-espresso-maker) for each pot of coffee by hand rather than purchase it pre-roasted. This enables the perfect level of darkness to be reached without having to settle for prepackaged varieties.

The 'ZenRoast' is handcrafted in Japan and features a leather-wrapped handle to stave off burns and add an additional level of texture. The 'ZenRoast' coffee bean roaster can be used from home, [on campsites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mokka-to-go) or just about anywhere else where green coffee beans need to be given a little bit of color.
