Thanks Philip, this is the first very detailed video about the Kaffelogic I found. We are 6 months later, do you still enjoy this roaster or are you considering a drum roaster ?
I got about 20 roasts out of my first Nano 7 (US Version) and then the thermostat broke. They quickly sent me a replacement and it broke on the first roast. I'm hoping third times a charm. The 220 versions have been out for awhile but it may be too soon to know if the 120v version is reliable.
How does it determine when the roast is done? Does the profile have a particular development % it needs to hit? Can different profiles have different parameters that need to be hit for it to stop? Seems like a really cool machine!
It determines a roast is done by a set bean temperature, either preset in the profile or user adjusted in the profile software. The roast level setting adjusts this end temperature. You can manually set what end temps correspond with the roast levels.
Like any “cooking” the darker you go the more smoke you get. I’m in the light to medium camp - so don’t really see much smoke - especially as they’re 100g batches. However I’d always advocate ventilation of some sort. I use mine under the cooker hood works fine.
With the greatest respect Sid - this is a light filter roast of a natural process - Ugandan. I don’t expect the colour to be uniform with this bean. People who judge roasts by sight, have no clue. This roast had nearly 2 minutes post 1st crack development, with an end temp of 215c and an overall roast time of 9.30 minutes - plenty. Had I roasted this for Espresso/Mokka Pot - I would have developed it further.
Thanks for the video Philip. Very informative!
Excellent video and very detailed. I’m told the new versions can connect directly to a laptop.

Exactly what I want to know. Have you made a purchase?
Wow. you could almost get a professional roaster with that price tag.

I am curious if you have an update on the experience after 1 year of use.
Does it make lots of smoke that you have roast outdoors ?
Nice, but a real pity you can't view/control the roaster from your laptop while you are roasting... cannot see the graph monitoring the roast...

how much is the price and where to order?
Is it producing smoke, when roasting darker? Cheers!

It’s currently on Kickstarter as they are relaunching with a new chaff collector- go check it out!
Will you post an update on the roaster? How it goes at different roast levels, new pros and cons etc? :-)
Very less usefull it looks to Me.
How so?
@@beanobsessedroasters9073 cz in 1st batch you shown coffee beans are not roasted completly .
