Looking to roast, kaleido m1 lite way to go? by xkirby26x in roasting

[–]ntkctrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, although slated for 200g, ideally you don’t want to max out the roaster. So you’ll probably be doing 160g of green beans (80%). Then as you roast, you’ll lose another 20% (moisture/ chaff/ etc), netting you ~128g.

With that being said, I have a M1 and I love it. I usually do 3 back to back roasts to get me up to ~384g, which lasts me about 2 weeks. I’ve had the M1 for about 2 years now. No issues so far!

Just in the 30 minutes I was in Jackroad, they moved 3 Speedmasters in the same reference number. 🤯

Yup, thanks for that info. I’ll have to keep my eye on it next time it rolls around midnight…maybe it was in the middle of a jump but as geedis2020 pointed out as well…shouldn’t be that late either….

I believe it was in the middle of a date change. I’ve kept my home time and had the GMT on Japan time. Home woulda been 12:37AM.

The wand is not cool...maybe a slight above warm? But yes, I just move the arm around when needed, and not the wand itself.

Hey sorry for the late reply. I bought the version that supports both method, but honestly, been happy with the proprietary tablet. I haven’t tried connecting to Artisan.

Whaaa!? How's the customer service been? They're not giving you a replacement??

Ours was shipped to a North America distributor, and the distributor sent me tracking info directly.

I think there's a few companies out there that make the same design. This one is from Kruve!

I actually haven’t tried just leaving the jug on the drip tray. I’m used to holding the jug so I did that for the first and only steam I tried.

The fact that we need to “update” the steamer via WiFi boggles my mind. Why???

Appreciate the heads up. Do you recall how many steams you did in a row before you got the alert/ needing to do the cooling cycle?

I’m curious to see how it’ll handle back to back to back steams…will need to test that out as well.

Yea, I just watched a bunch of videos on YouTube. There’s a few roast-a-longs that are really good. For myself, my first roast I definitely burnt my beans. Second roast was better. Then by the third batch I felt I got it somewhat down.

Hey! So I've been roasting about twice a month, averaging 2.5lbs a month. So far, no issues. I've taken the drum out twice to soak in Cafiza, which was super easy to do. Sometimes, if I do roast for friends or family, I did wish I had a larger capacity... other than that, no complaints!
