I had one for approx. 1.5 years a few years ago and I couldn’t get on with it. The wiser (read: older) me have made peace with it again, and I’m giving roasting another go. Still, miles worse compared to what you get from the pros, sometimes I just can’t stand my own roasts, but I hope to learn again. The Sandbox, in my experience, despite its fundamental flaw as discussed above, is a lot better than the Gene. The newer Behmor is the dark horse. Mine had an issue so it went back to HasBean for a full refund. I never managed to roast with it.</p>"
