Kaleido M1 LITE 200g Coffee Roaster (Artisan System) - Black

I’m brand new to roasting (about a week in) and already my roasts are becoming noticeably more flavorful and consistent. The Kaleido M1 Lite makes learning easy with its solid build and the intuitive controls in Artisan. It’s a fantastic machine for anyone starting out and wanting professional‑level results almost right from the beginning, and I’m positive any experienced roaster can make this little powerhouse sing and dance. Definitely a strong buy in my book.

So I've only done 5 roasts on this and overall I'm really enjoying the experience. Like many others I've had connectivity issues using it with my MacBook Pro and Artisan, but I've since switched over to HiBean and it's been much smoother (I actually appreciate HiBean's user friendly interface). The roaster works great, but the rubber connectors that hold the black shell of the machine have all popped out, and they are difficult to reinsert- I'm going to replace them with some other type of connector soon. Shipping from Kaleido roasters USA was supper fast, and everything came in great shape. I got this roaster to replace my old Gene Cafe tank (15 years of roasting), and the control and roast quality on the Kaleido are so much better when compared to the gene. My coffee has already shown improvement, making me think I should have done this switch sooner.

It is a big step up from SR800!!
