I like it dark. I want to try more and different levels, but am scared. I have never been a fan of light coffee, So I do not want to waste it.

The image I showed above is about as light as I like it, I was very good in fact. The next roast I did was a different bean and seemed to get a little darker.

Thanks, I think I have finally got the hang of it.

The only draw backs to this roaster so far are:

Cons:
A) takes longer to roast than most roasters
B) takes 5 minutes to cool
C) low capacity
D) doesn't seperate chaff well

Pros:
A) easy to clean
B) easy to opperate
C) remembers the last roast time setting
D) has a good aggitator that helps even roast
E) inexpensive

You're right!

Looking really, really good, very even roast. Most of the chaff is roasted off--maybe (like you said later) a longer roasting time will cause those beans to open up a little more.

Yep sounds like it. I like my roaster it has a fan knob that I can slow down the fan, or speed it up if I want to speed up the roasting process. Also has a very good chaff collection process.

But I have forever ruined you for 7-11, AM-PM mini mart, etc. coffee. Once you've had the best, can't handle the rest.

I just had my first cup of home roasted sweet marias espresso blend Gneiss (#20) and WOW, what a good cup of coffee!

I made a keurig drip with it first followed by an aeropress americano at work and dang, it's really good. It's especially good from the aeropress.

Anyone want to buy a used Keurig?

Looks WAY too dark! I believe recommended roast is to City - FC and I found it more true to description at City+ Dang, that's gotta be close to French roast, all you are gonna taste is the roast when it's that dark.
