Bingo. Success. Roasted 1 lb of Costa Rican from PeechDogg. Used 1#/Program D/Profile 1. Gorgeous, even full city roast.
1C @ 15:25. Initiated cool at 19:00 (added 1 min) and got a couple of snaps of 2C during cooling. (guidance in the manual suggests 3:20 elapse from start of 1C to 2C with 1 1b. Very close).
Observations: ^ Again, quiet. Remarkably quiet.
^ Excellent cooling agitation of the beans. Wherein on the Gene, that tumbler is hot, on the Behmor, it is different. I had the door open at 15 seconds into the cool. The thermals dissipate very quickly and the rolling, tumbling of the beans in the hopper resemble the professional cooling trays of a large drum roaster. There just isn't any built up heat like there is in the Gene.
^ Extremely uniform roast.
Question: I just don't get the function of the "program" buttons. What function do they serve. I have read it 3 times and don't understand their purpose. Does A always go with P1, B always go with P2, C always go with P3...or can they be varied?
Answer: I did some reading on CoffeeProject this morning and Programs (a, b, c, d) refer to the length. Makes me think I did (Program A) since the readout counted back from 18:00. Time for some more work on it:
