@phil28 I’ve lost track of how long I’ve had the Mini but must be 18 months or more.
Still an absolute pleasure, zero problems since I bought it. I’m not sure there’s a machine I’d rather have.
I bought an Ikawa about three months ago and it’s great. I’ve not bought roasted coffee since. Currently roasting about 600g a week, half espresso and half filter.
I’m not using the Ikawa greens anymore though as they’re incredibly expensive comparatively and I just create my own roast profiles.
Roasted some absolute crackers recently and at £7-10 a kilo for single origin, it’s pretty inexpensive to try various beans/roasts.
