if you are going to get interested in roasing
Id seriously consider this :
https://www.roastmasters.com/behmor.html
I had this roaster in the earli9er version , and used it for ' Drip " that I roasted , Vac'd
and sent to my sister.
I have a larger roaster for espresso , but that's a different story.
the above place give you 8 lba green coffee sample and has free shipping
Im very loyal to SweetMaria , the the obove is a better deal.
you can do a fine job on 1/3 d of a lbs w this drum roaster
and the initial investment will pay off in no time , and you will have better fresher coffee
that you can taylor to your own taste-profile.
an issue for the espresso ' single shot ' is that its a single shot
and you can't make any adjustments. if carefully designed you might not need to.
having several shots at the same time ?
might be an issue , cool down etc.
but its impressive for sure
Id wait until someone at HomeBarista.com puts it through its paces if I were you.
did I mention how important a very good grinder is for Espresso ?
looking forward to HB.com 's reviews
I have a Cafe Gene and like it. Had previously been roasting with a turbo oven and stir crazy popcorn base with the heater disconnected to allow the stir crazy to just keep the beans moving under the turbo oven. The Gene is still hot air roasting but it allows you to set temp and roasting time and has a chaff collector as well. Very even roasts
