Name my Roaster Competition

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

Ambex YM 2kg

then we had Amy my 5kg Ambex

Ambex YM 5kg

Then we had our 15kg Ambex Bertha

Ambex YM 15kg

Then we have Gunther our 25kg Probat

Probat 25kg

And the new addition with no name is our 12kg Probat

Probat 12kg

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.

  1. Otto, Leo

  2. 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.

  3. 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)

  4. I think she looks pretty. How about Nani(nah-nee)=Hawaiian for pretty.

  5. Alex R …

    How come the wow names ?
    I think because it is so sleek that it should be called Mr Darcy πŸ™‚
    Mmm Mr Darcy πŸ™‚

    What is wrong with Samson or Delilah ?

  6. Red
    Big Ron
    Max
    Kofi Anan

  7. Sarah-lou…. If surnames are acceptable such as Mr. Darcy then I would suggest…..

    Mr. Bean

  8. 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” πŸ™‚

  9. I think he looks like a Chorlton as in Chorlton and the Wheelies

  10. Lucile,
    Nancy,
    Mimsy,
    Rockafellar,
    Bubba,
    Santa Claus,
    Fredrik,
    Handsome,
    Monkey.

  11. Roastius Maximus.

  12. Rufus the Roaster. Rufus is the coolio-est name ever.

  13. Or, Agamemnon.
    :o)

  14. 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?

  15. Lawrence of Aroma

  16. christine mcintyre 1 August, 2009 at 10:50 pm

  17. Roasting Roger πŸ˜‰

  18. Lord Bean

  19. Sir Raymond Roast-a-lot

  20. Monty πŸ™‚

  21. Fluffy

  22. Bruiser

  23. Batty πŸ™‚

  24. Arnold or Basil (i.e. Basil Fawlty OR German Basle?)

  25. Percy Probat

  26. Yanus Probat sounds very risque if you think about it long enough

  27. Rolly the roaster

  28. Not much debate for me. This is either a
    Winston
    or possibly a
    Wilhelm

  29. Ling-Ling

  30. And I could possibly consider
    Ferdinand
    for it πŸ™‚

  31. Poldi the probat
    Petro the probat
    Baldwin the ‘bat
    Bertram the ‘bat
    Reinhart the roaster

    My name for the roaster is Heinz “Because beans means Heinz”

  33. Andrew Hindley 3 August, 2009 at 4:41 pm

    Warmas Roast

  34. Somehow I think it is a boy:
    Karlheinz
    Hubertus
    Manfred
    Erich
    JΓΆrg
    Achim
    Dieter
    Dietmar
    Eberhardt
    Friedel
    Helmut
    Rolf

    In case it is a girl:
    KΓ€the
    Elfride

  35. Engelbert

  36. Schwarzenegger

  37. Butch the Bean Machine

  38. Definitely a boy roaster I reckon. A big big grin and pointy nose like that could only be a boy.

    Another submission:
    Budwell

  39. Percy or Baldrick.

  40. I think it looks like it should have a two syllable name. For a girl: Daisey, or Poppy πŸ™‚

  41. I mean Daisy πŸ™‚

  42. How about Basil or “The Major” (Don’t mention the war!!)

    or Bobby or Robson for obvious reasons.

  43. Twinkle, Tubor, Nanny Og, Thelma, Mildred, Theodore T Widerbeast, Big Ernie, San Stevo,

    ‘The Roaster’

    Lay’ton

    Soapy
