Coffee

Oh no. Oh, nonono.

I'm using a (nearly) 20 year old Behmor. There's so much guesswork involved, especially if you're someone like me and rarely buy the same beans. I roast my own coffee, but after 20 years I still barely know what I'm doing. I like what I get, but still; it's a lot of trial and error, and guesswork.

The SkyWalker looks fantastic. It has all the features I wish I had on the Behmor: the sample tray thingy; temperature control; multiple gauges - there's not even a thermometer in the Behmor; an automatic mode? I mean, I'd like to have either a sampler or an auto mode on the Behmor, but this has both?? A proper chaff tray, to get the chaff out of the oven so it doesn't burn‽ A smoke filter or proper chimney to direct the exhaust‽‽

<groan> I don't need to spend any more money on this hobby.

What's that software (and device) you're using to get the results profile?

How’s it taste? That’s the most important question! Did you cup the roast at all? I don’t remember where the settings for those notes are but I can look at mine and see if I can find them.

How do you like the Skywalker roaster?

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?
