Some of you may remember who have read here for a while that I got a new roaster back in November last year. Others of you who have been here even longer may remember a post I did naming my 25kg probat a couple of years ago.
So to date we have always named our roasters the first being bettsy our 2kg Ambex
then we had Amy my 5kg Ambex
Then we had our 15kg Ambex Bertha
Then we have Gunther our 25kg Probat
And the new addition with no name is our 12kg Probat
So I need your help to name the roaster, comments here, email or carrier pigeon for your entries. Going to keep it going for three weeks until we get a winner, and the winner will win a 3 month subscription pack for the in my mug videos, so a bag of coffee every week for 12 weeks if your in the EU and we will work out something nice if your further afield between us.
You can enter as many times as you like which will give you more chance the more you enter. The name must make me smile every time I use it. My decision will be the final one.
Want to get a better look at it? Then watch this video right beside it.

Taborp – Probat backwards. Sort of robotic name…….. thinking outside the box as always. Hold on a second, there are some men in white coats at the door.
Given the look of that machine I would say he was wearing a monocle and no doubt a member of aristocracy. Deep down a good fellow with respect for the working class.
I propose the names of Barnaby or Wilfred. (Barnaby being the preferred)
I think she looks pretty. How about Nani(nah-nee)=Hawaiian for pretty.
Alex R …
How come the wow names ?
I think because it is so sleek that it should be called Mr Darcy
Mmm Mr Darcy
What is wrong with Samson or Delilah ?
Red
Big Ron
Max
Kofi Anan
Sarah-lou…. If surnames are acceptable such as Mr. Darcy then I would suggest…..
Mr. Bean
I hope I am not too late to enter…
How about Gruber.
I figure that every morning you could put a smile on your face by saying “I might not have an Uber, but at least I’ve got Gruber”
I think he looks like a Chorlton as in Chorlton and the Wheelies
Probius
Lucile,
Nancy,
Mimsy,
Rockafellar,
Bubba,
Santa Claus,
Fredrik,
Handsome,
Monkey.
Roastius Maximus.
Rufus the Roaster. Rufus is the coolio-est name ever.
Or, Agamemnon.
)
Oooh, he looks like a boy. Something beginning with R perhaps, so he can have the suffix “…the Roaster”? Such as:
Rupert
Roscoe
Robbie
Randolph
Reuben?
Lawrence of Aroma
how about Carlos
Roasting Roger
Lord Bean
Sir Raymond Roast-a-lot
Monty
Fluffy
Bruiser
Rocky
Batty
Lukas
Arnold or Basil (i.e. Basil Fawlty OR German Basle?)
Pat
Percy Probat
Yanus Probat sounds very risque if you think about it long enough
Rolly the roaster
Not much debate for me. This is either a
Winston
or possibly a
Wilhelm
Ling-Ling
Can only be, Freddy
And I could possibly consider
Ferdinand
for it
Poldi the probat
Petro the probat
Baldwin the ‘bat
Bertram the ‘bat
Reinhart the roaster
Leslie
I’m done.
My name for the roaster is Heinz “Because beans means Heinz”
Warmas Roast
Somehow I think it is a boy:
Karlheinz
Hubertus
Manfred
Erich
Jörg
Achim
Dieter
Dietmar
Eberhardt
Friedel
Helmut
Rolf
Waldemar
Volker
Xaver
In case it is a girl:
Käthe
Elfride
Engelbert
Schwarzenegger
Butch the Bean Machine
Definitely a boy roaster I reckon. A big big grin and pointy nose like that could only be a boy.
Another submission:
Budwell
Oscar!
Spencer?
Percy or Baldrick.
I think it looks like it should have a two syllable name. For a girl: Daisey, or Poppy
I mean Daisy
How about Basil or “The Major” (Don’t mention the war!!)
or Bobby or Robson for obvious reasons.
Twinkle, Tubor, Nanny Og, Thelma, Mildred, Theodore T Widerbeast, Big Ernie, San Stevo,
