Hey Guys and Gals,
Ive been using my Gene Cafe successfully for about 6 to 12 months now. Ive always been pleased with how nice and even the roasts in this machine are.
However, all of a sudden Ive started having problems. In the past 3 weeks, I havent been able to produce one successful roast. Ive tried different beans, different days and no luck. Instead of the beautiful, smooth and consistent roasts I was getting, the beens are coming out all mottled - some with chaff still on. Some beans are burnt/scorched in places and under roasted in other. Overall the beans look very dry and unappealing!
As far as I can see, Im not doing anything significantly different with regard to roasting profile. Perhaps theres something wrong with the machine?
Have attached some pics of:
(1) Brazllian Yellow Burbon... 19 mins at 222 deg
(2) My own home blend... 19 Mins at 225 deg
