Looks like I am in the market for a new one.. soon!

Ideas? Recommendations?

I liked the Nesco but my biggest complaint was I wish I could roast more at one time.

I like my Gene Cafe, but I'm not convinced it's worth twice the cost of the Behmor. It's very simple to operate and it roasts well, but lacks in proper cooling. I've had to learn how to force it into emergency shut down so I can get the beans out and cooling right away. If mine dies, I'll probably get a Behmor next.

The Gene Cafe is what we have as well, so far we love the coffee we've roasted in it however it is our first roaster so we have nothing to compare it to. I would recommend it to a novice roaster like myself though since the coffee we've produced so far is great.
