CoffeeGeek - Francis! Francis! X3 First Look

  „I gave the machine a once over. I liked the fit and finish - with one exception: taking the water reservoir out and putting it back is a bit of a pain, but I'll get to that later on in this first look. Everything else was golden with this machine. It's relatively heavy (remember - in espresso machines, heavy = good), the metal is worked exceedingly well, the six hex nuts on each side of the machine (only two are actually used to secure the top to the sides) are nice and flush with the body, and the buttons look excellent and feel good with a positive tactile feedback click when pressed/ The indicator lights are small, orange, and slightly hard to see under florescent lighting, but complement the look of the machine well.“

SwissMar Alpenrost Roasting Tip Sheet from Sweet Maria's

  „Nonetheless, I would suggest roasting your first batch at “8”, but this may be too light for most people. The Alpenrost results do vary based on the input voltage and ambient temperature, so an “8” on my unit at the shop can be different from yours. But in general this should produce a lighter City roast. Also, never lift the hood of the roaster during the roast cycle .“
