Agreed from an upgrade hungry Freshroast owner, but it really does a great job.

100 bucks gets you the machine and 4 pounds of green bean samples with instructions how to roast them.

I'll keep my opinions reserved about the grinder as I made plenty of mistakes along the way.
(hint; save up 500 beans and get a Macap M4 stepless and never look back)

I have a smug feeling of satisfaction as I am reading this and enjoying a very nice latte made with Brasil Santos roasted full city.
