Roasting with the Itop Skywalker roaster. This is a level of control I’m not used to lol.
The auto charge didnt work so accidentally hit the button too late.
Also I have no idea how to get rid of the notes.
How’s it look?
How’s it taste? That’s the most important question! Did you cup the roast at all? I don’t remember where the settings for those notes are but I can look at mine and see if I can find them.
How do you like the Skywalker roaster?
Gonna wait a few days to degas before tasting!
I really like the roster so far. Done about 20 roasts so far with their built in profile tools. Getting to to connect to artisan is pretty easy but it does talk either soldering or cable crimping knowledge. You’ll be soldering a usb cable to an arduino so no chance of bricking the roaster
Ooh nice. I still use a popcorn popper, and no bean probe or nothin’, but I like my results well enough. But I see something like this in my future because I like nerding on this stuff. I agree with almar, how’s it taste? Have you been having good results with the Skywalker?
Yup! Loving the skywalker so far, the built in roast profiles are solid.
If i really had to nitpick a complaint I wish the bean cooler was a bit better. Its no where near as poweful as the one attached to my bocaboca. Oh well.
Very cool! Glad to hear it. I’ve always imagined I’d move on to a FreshRoast after my popper kicks the bucket (or when I get tired of it), but, I’ll do a little more research on this one too. Looks relatively affordable for the feature set.
I started with the fresh roast, good starter roaster but once you go over 250g, even with an extension tube its rough.
I really liked the bocaboca but for the price the Skywalker kinda blows it out of the water
