Yeah Rob,

I have been through 4 roasts and had a few challenges, but seem to be getting the hang of it.

The other night, I had an error come up and roaster stop. The cause was the drum not being squarely in the peg hole. The squeeking sound alerted me and it shut off. I tried to restart the machine and guess the temp requires it to cool down before restarting, so i lost a small batch.

I've been doing 10 oz batches with pretty good results and am documenting each roast with 1c times and other notes and rating the results in a log.

I have, so far, found that 10 oz batches on 1 pound, p2, c, settings are working best.

All in all, a longer learning curve than the freshroast, but having some experience helped a lot as the smells are more familiar to me and I know what is going on.

All the reviews I read about limited visiblity are not an issue with mine as it has the lower chaff collector and with the light on, it is a clear view of the process.

With the Freshroast, doing a few batches in a day to get my tin filled resulted in different roast results and with the Behmor, it is much more uniform and the longer roast profiles are a little better.

I'm glad my journey is relieving some stress for you and would like to invite you over for an espresso some time.
