Roasting with the Itop Skywalker roaster. This is a level of control I'm not used to lol.
The auto charge didnt work so accidentally hit the button too late.
Also I have no idea how to get rid of the notes.
How's it look?

Ooh nice. I still use a popcorn popper, and no bean probe or nothin', but I like my results well enough. But I see something like this in my future because I like nerding on this stuff. I agree with almar, how's it taste? Have you been having good results with the Skywalker?

Yup! Loving the skywalker so far, the built in roast profiles are solid.

If i really had to nitpick a complaint I wish the bean cooler was a bit better. Its no where near as poweful as the one attached to my bocaboca. Oh well.

Very cool! Glad to hear it. I've always imagined I'd move on to a FreshRoast after my popper kicks the bucket (or when I get tired of it), but, I'll do a little more research on this one too. Looks relatively affordable for the feature set.

I started with the fresh roast, good starter roaster but once you go over 250g, even with an extension tube its rough.
I really liked the bocaboca but for the price the Skywalker kinda blows it out of the water
