I made my first BeanBay purchase recently, the BGA. The first small batch I roasted to around CS7-8, most recently I blended 2 roasts - CS10 and 8 50/50. I just can't seem to get it to taste good. There are many possible variables of course - new espresso machine, new grinder, dodgy backyard barista skills, but by both mine and my wife's admission the Aldi coffee we had before I got the BGA was better. Same machine, grinder & barista. Thoughts?

I use a Coretto with the ozito heat adjustable gun but it's early days. I haven't been taking notes on roast profiles but it's usually around 10-12 mins to FC (gradually ramping up the heat) then another 5-10 mins to finish with the heat around 50%. To judge the finish I go by colour, switching off the gun a little before I get what I'm after.

Roasted some Sulawesi Blue and India Malabar Gold yesterday. Just out of interest, I chucked some in the grinder this morning, 50/50 blend. It tasted better than the matured Bali beans. Maybe it's that my roasting skill has improved, or maybe it's just a personal taste thing. Probably both actually.
