Definitely confused on the vortex direction. Can switch if I need.

Was wondering about the IR as well, this units screen is very open.

How does the coffee taste?

Aroma: Sweet Brown sugar with a pleasant Floral note.
Taste: Light acidity, sweet floral note with a rich full body, cannot pick out the fruit but as it cools I get a slight fermented stone fruit, the aftertaste has a little off tasting bitterness and this I believe is from the burnt chaff.

This is a better cup then I expected, can see why the youtubers say it's better then store bought and I like how contained the acidity is, it allows the coffee to shine through.

Can it be better, yes.

1. Remove moisture and chaff.
Filter and re-cycle the air using a fan and extension ring like on a TO?
2. Add a better paddle system to move the beans.
3. Vary the temp a bit like a normal roast, this is a maybe.

I have already put a ring on it to add a TO and tested my first paddle that works good both ways but slightly better going in CW direction, better movement then the original. Going to try a flatter paddle for next version.

Well first TO-CafeMasy roast.
Guatemalan 15% roast level just under Full-City+
Fairly quick at 6:45 total roast time.

I have been sick so taste and smell is a bit off but today is my roast window to beat about 7 days of poor weather.

I think the aroma is great already, the halogen must add a bit to the Caramelization stage?

The chew test was good almost no bitterness detected.

Vortex direction? Now I moved the ring to ccw position and it looks like the chaff is still going in CW direction, most came out as the fan does act like a blower and drives most of the chaff out anyway. Will change the ring for the next roast.

Taste test on Wednesday.

Discussed here two roast scenarios, with and without lamp screen plate:

... so, yes, IR addition add... more than a bit, imo...
