Title: Programming took some tweaking; machine lasted exactly 1 year
Review: One year warranty, and the machine quite literally quit working on the 366th day. While it worked, it produced some good roasts. However, the programming took some getting used to, and constant tweaking and adjusting. Roasting was never very consistent, with a roasting profile producing a good 'city roast' on a particular varietal one time, and barely browning the same beans the next.For the money, I've decided to stick to hot-air popcorn poppers, which last anywhere from 6 months to over a year, at about 5% of the cost of this machine.While generally I would say that a machine that you can program, fill, start and walk away from is a real plus, this one was never consistent enough for this; you still have to keep an eye on it or risk underdone or scorched beans.
