    However, I have had good results with Preset 1 for 6.30 to 7.30 minutes. And the good thing about the presets is that you can set the roast time and go away.
    Never leave ANY coffee roasting device unattended. Anything that is capable of the temperatures it takes to roast coffee CAN ignite.

      Hey Hazbean, hey just trying to find part 2 of the thread....civilising the Iroast2. Would you mind sending me a link to it.
      cheers

      p.s. I am about to change the resitor in my Iroast2. Am going to give it to my electrician to do it for me. So from my interpretation of what you recommend, I should be "swapping the installed 1000 ohm resistor for an 1800 ohm resistor".
      Is this the same as a 1k8 resistor?
      Just want to know what to ask him to get?
      thanks heaps, in advance

        Sorry, there wasnt a part 2. Cant quite remember why though.

        Yes, 1k8 is 1800 ohm. That is what worked best in mine, but other people had better
        results with other values such as 2100 or even 2700. However 1800 is pretty sure to
        give improved behaviour.

        You will find that the resistor is crimped into one half of a PC-type connector (unfortunately
        a not particularly common one) -- if your electrician happens to have them, you can mount
        different values into another connector and try them.

        Post some results when you get it done ...

          Well, I had the resistor changed and am FINALLY up and running and happily roasting.
          In fact, changing the resistor was the BEST MOVE I MADE AND IS THE ONLY REASON I AM NOW GETTING GREAT RESULTS.
          A BIG THANK YOU TO HAZBEAN!!! COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP AND GUIDANCE!!
          The Ethiopian Sun dried Gambella is my favourite bean to date and surprisingly turns out great coffee just roasted on the preset 1!!
          Anyone tried the PNG Kone Estate Peaberry on the modified Iroast 2.... if so, any profile tips??
          jo
          p.s. even a busy mum of two can roast great coffee!!!

            No problem, glad I could help!

            Pleased to see that its working.

            I had wondered a couple of times what was happening -- its been a while since the last post in this thread

              theosmum, what is the maximum time you get for a roast, just thinking that if its longer than Ive seen so far I could let you know what I have done with the Kenya Peaberry I have.
