Commercial roasters.

Did the rounds of a number of coffee specialists in Adelaide last Friday, one of the better known had just finished a batch and had it cooling in the tray, I could not believe just how uneven the roast was, beans varied from approx CS6 through to about 10.
I wondered if it could have been that varieties had been blended before roasting.
Didnt ask the question as felt it may have been a little confrontational.
Any thoughts?

Would guess that they have issues with how their roaster is set up I wouldnt have thought that there should be that much of an issue.

Re: Commercial roasters.

Some older type roasters have issues with hot spots and dead spots in regards to chamber temps but i wouldnt have though that there would have been as big of a difference as you described. Not even with beans that roast unevenly?
