I gathered that most people are able-bodied and not encumbered by disabilities, old age or plain clumsiness. Perhaps a less intrusive way of implementing the button lock is through an option in the custom profile.

Thanks for the logs. It turns out the issue is caused by turning the roaster off while you are emptying it, which does affect the ambient temperature measurement. Changing your emptying technique should enable you to leave it turned on. See https://kaffelogic.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2...

If you are able to send me some logs, especially sets of same beans, same day, where FC has been logged showing the difference that you are experiencing, that will give me data to work on faster than I can generate it myself. I'm hoping I can provide a solution quite quickly. I have sent you 5 back...

I take it you are using the latest firmware? The cooldown takes the roaster to thermal equilibrium, the catch being that with the motor running the transformer pumps out enough power to lift that equilibrium point 8 deg C above ambient. The warm up cycle would have to warm the whole unit by that 8 ...

The Kaffelogic is a very flexible piece of kit, and it makes experimental work very doable, especially when results are based on cupping and not modelling or chemical analysis. I invite other community members to let us know your experiences of how weather affects your roasting in the cup. Hi Chris...

Wayne,

The document Map of coffee growing countries of the world is a wonderful reference.

If you add Cuba, Australia, Venezuela, Vietnam, the Philippines, Dominican Republic, Bolivia and Timor to the list, it will be even better.

@lancruiser. Just wondering whether you inspect and reject some beans post roast? In your picture, above, I notice a couple of f'uglies (around 5 past 12 top mid pic) and a blondie about third way up. Not these ones. They may look like quakers in the photo but they are viable beans. I sample them b...

The Yirg is a bit of a mess, and a roaster said it didn’t look very even, and questioned if I had adequate bean circulation, which was interesting. Is the Yirgacheffe washed or natural processed? Natural processed coffee can look splotchy. This is a recent roast of Ethiopian Harrar. 20200808_145655...

To be honest I didn’t know much about tipping till I took my roast to a roaster and asked if they could tell me what was wrong, as I wasn’t having much luck. Geronimo, I had the same issue with another Brazil bean. https://kaffelogic.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=171 I have never found a pr...

Thanks, Steve. Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I left the beans unattended and it got attacked by birds

I will keep this in mind if electricity falls me again.
