Hi everyone.
I want to start roasting my own bean at home.
Any recommendations for a good but easy to use roaster would be appreciated.

Skywalker V1... cheapest, probably the only in its own class "$1 per gram of load", the rest of the commercial built roasters are starting from $2-3 per gram.
Good, easy to use... but not so reliable, so you should be ready to tinker, if needed.

Nope, Asia import only.
There were offers on Amazon.co.uk, but as gray market, with a third party warranty, because these machines are not certified, i.e. not showing a FCC or CE badge.
In US fortunately they are backed by a solid coffee machine builders, https://www.coffe...achine.com, and sold under label Precision... but nobody took this risk so far in EU/UK.
