Perhaps, it's a "nice to have" feature rather than "must to have". You can roast multiple batches today with very consistent results: it just takes around 10mins to roast a batch so going 200g is not a huge time saving feature. I rather get more bean specific roast profiles and m...

Hi @nrdlnd D-roast didn't work for me because of 240v requirement and I couldn't reduce fan speed to compensate on it. The beans I had were between 1.5g and 2g each - large and heavy, so reduced weight and increased fan speed worked quite well.

its been pretty hot and humid in Sydney recently and Ive seen some variances in my standard roasts from a taste perspective. perhaps related? It's a pity that you couldn't measure the moisture of the beans or maybe it's just the higher humidity of the air that affects the result? A more humid air i...

Interesting. I don't have a meter but had similar suspicions - thank you for confirming it!

At the end, I've reduced batch size to 80g and increased fan speed profile in individual roasting profiles.

@nrdlnd Agree, roast levels is another debateable topic however what I was suggesting is to set an approximate level relative to DTR so at least the bulk part will be right instead of, for example, having 20% DTR at level 1 when you can't go any lower if you wish to. We always can perfect and compli...

@nrdlnd Hi, it should be relatively easy to set the levels: you can set Level 3 @ 30% DTR temperature and then extrapulate rest of the values. (tip: when you're changing target level at the front page, it is adjusting DTR % and temperature on the right and allows you to correlate final roast level, ...

Hi @nrdlnd, you can adjust "roast level" at the Profile Settings - it's at the very bottom. KL suggests to maintain the logic behind these levels so you always know that 3 is a medium roast, etc. It also avoids confusion between roast profiles and need to remember what level means in each ...

Instead of increasing the fan speed, I reduce beans from 100g to 80g and it does the job.

I tested rehydrated roasted beans on day 5 and the flavour developed into more sour-winy notes, quite different from non-rehydrated beans.

I don't have a moisture meter so had to try "blind" by adding 4g of water to 96g of beans and keeping them in closed glass jar for 9 hours. Roasted them on the same profile as non rehydrated beans. Today I tasted the beans: it had some minor change in flavour but not huge. Perhaps these be...
