New to the forum so sorry if I've missed any previous posts on this topic.
I just spent the $175 on the Boost upgrade and was really bummed to see how many beans wound up in the chaff collector, almost 15% of roasted bean weight, and that was with 160g. With 180 I assume it would be a lot more. This seems like a pretty bad design flaw, but maybe I'm doing something wrong- certainly wouldn't be the first time

Would having the Chaff collector body taller eliminate this problem? If so, wouldn't it be pretty easy to design an extender for this purpose? And for $175, wouldn't it be nice to get what would probably be a $5, at cost, solution to a very obvious and hopefully easily fixable problem?
And it really is a bummer as the beans in the collector have not been cooled evenly, it's a total hassle to separate them out if you do chose to use them and if you throw them out that's between 10 and 20% of your coffee in the compost. If I go through 15k of coffee a year, that will be around 2.25k wasted and/or improperly roasted coffee, and to me that's way too much.
Is the tube extension a possible fix?
Thanks
