Oh thanks, I'll check it out.
WFH
I tried running the tgz a few months ago. It needed a shitload of deprecated python dependancies, I'm not well versed in python so after the 10th pip install I gave up.
Version 4 is unfortunately closed source and paid.
Yeah I've heard you can't go wrong with either option. I think I went for the Gene because it's much easier to find in Europe.
Lightning is not perfect but it's more yellow and fuchsia. Still looks amazing :D
Truth is, I went straight for the Gene. The Behmor is also a popular option in entry-level coffee roasters.
Most places seem to recommend to start with a cheap popcorn machine or a heat gun and a dog bowl as a low-cost way to get you feet wet.
They're loud as fuck. But they feel amazing. It's like a jolt every time you hit the contact point. Closest modern switches to the legendary buckling springs I've ever tried.
My "baseline" nowadays is:
- 180 for 3 minutes
- 235 to 245 until the beginning of first crack
- 220 until drop.
As a rule of thumb, I found that fruitier coffees benefit from a higher temp and therefore a quicker roast.
I drop anywhere from 30s to 1 min after the beginning of 1C.
You DO love coffee. You're just not as far down the rabbit hole as I am :D
The smell is heavenly and lingers for days ❤️
Compared to supermarket and most small scale roasters I've tried, orders of magnitude better. At least I can roast everything in my preferred light-to-medium range instead of finding that those "filter roast" beans are acrid charcoal. Nowadays I can even pull off a fruity acidic citrusy bean most of the time.
However I'm lucky to know a great, if slightly expensive and sometimes inconsistent, roaster a few towns over. So better... Maybe not. Cheaper, hell yes.
The Dark Side of Wine leads to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

Didn't keep it long tho, there were many issues and I didn't fully trust a cracked version of Photoshop on my main computer. It didn't survive reinstall when I upgraded my SSD.
Could you please share a recipe?
