Full-featured espresso machine with dynamic fan speed, drum velocity, and high-precision temperature controller capable of 500g batches for under $2,000? Insane deal! It's also about the same footprint (or smaller) than my previous roaster which only did 250g batches. My only significant complaint is about the bean tray. I had to assemble that myself, and it has several pieces of metal that are secured together via these press-fit plastic tabs rather than screws and washers, and when I dump my beans, sometimes the plastic tab detaches and I have to go hunting for a tiny piece of plastic among my coffee beans, and then take the tray apart and re-assemble it.
