    even though Id think 200g vs 300g shouldnt be that big a difference
    I havent experienced exactly what you have but for me the difference between a 600g and 700g batch was enough to make a routine roast difficult to control.

      Ditto for me TG but different size batches with my particular Corretto. I think you reach a point where you just cant inject enough heat at the "ideal" rate to allow you to have complete control over the roast. Same for the other direction too with small batches.... Too much thermal energy available for the size of the batch. With the Breville Big Loaf BM and my trusty Hi-Lo version of the Ryobi HG, 750-800g batches seems to be the sweet spot with the smaller sized batches for mainly SHB and other tough/dense beans.

      When my original Aldi HG died, it took me quite a while to establish a new sweet spot with my setup, so as always, pays to experiment a bit... 8-)

        This afternoon I must have accidentally measured out 500g instead of my usual 600g.
        The batch suffered some tipping and the odd burnt bean.

        As Im currently using a bowl and spoon again without any temperature readout on the bean mass, a variation of 100g does not help.
