      Cant help you out there with the Genecafe. Im using a Breadmaker with a heatgun (Corretto) and Im able to control the roast very well.
      My green beans are not very uniform either so dont despair. Some are twisted and tiny, others are more "normal".

      I did a second batch last Saturday and same results. Another very even roast, a 10 on the CS membership card (I have mine now, thanks Andy :-) ). So its been 7 days post roast and Ive got a damn cold and blocked nose! So, Im not enjoying it as much (can taste the choc though). I took this batch 30 secs into Rolling SC and its a bit too dark for my liking compared to the first batch. Lost the spice, choc is there, but a little bitter.

      Hope other CSers can help you out there Poddy.

      Cheers
      Javabeen.

        Hi Poddy66
        I think if you speak to or pm Serge (Go Barista) or 2mcm (Talk Coffee) they would give you the best advice re the gene. From what youve said though, I would suggest that your changes are too drastic - 232 then 220 is a pretty big variation. You dont mention weight of your roasts which also have an impact.

        I havent tried mine as yet, though unless I hear otherwise, would probably try no more than 250gm at 228* for 20 minutes. Having said that, I tend to watch and listen to the roast like a hawk for the first few times, and if I dont like what I see or hear, I will alter the setting during the roast eg. extending time or increasing temp.

        Hope that helps!

          this came out as a very uneven roast, both in expansion of the beans as well as colour....i did this one in a quick ramp-up (about 6min) to FC , then a slow down to SC (at about 11 min) as that was the way it was suggested in one of the earlier threads about he ismalii... and i havent been  disappointed.
          the cup is even now, about 5 days post roast, full, complex, yet very gentle.
          absolutely one of the nicest extractions i have had the pleasure to cup.

          i would be in line for some more of this sort of bean, Andy....
