And that is both an advantahge and disadvantage. The more I investigate, the more I feel the need to learn about roasting, and THEN doing small batches and being able to keep almost all parameters fixed and consistent (via profile) makes it much easier to learn the effects of changing just one parameter. Also, the bigger the batch, the more expensive any batch-ruining cockups will be.</p></div></blockquote>\n\n<p>My two cents: I wouldn’t get something with a very small capacity. You can always do a small batch on a machine with larger capacity, but not the other way around. Remember that you lose weight in the roasting process. From 100 grams - what will you have left? How much do you use in a shot? How many shots will you get our of it? You want to be able to dial in, then have some left to enjoy. And you need to rest the beans, so might be a week or two before they peak and you find out what you have. Or you might want to taste the coffee in intervals to find the optimal resting time… For me 100 gram batches seem impractical, and I think I would get tired of that quite quickly.</p>\n\n<p>I am using the Gene, by the way, which can do ~250 grams batches. Don’t have experience with many other roasters, as I got mine in 2009 and it’s still going strong. I read some people think the Behmor is an upgrade over the Gene, while others think the Gene is an upgrade from the Behmor. With the current offer prices, if I were in the market for a roaster, I would be quick to snatch either the Behmor or the Gene before they go up in price again (but of course it could be that they are reduced because a new model is on the way, if that’s a concern).</p>"
