Here is our chance to provide constructive feedback from his experience and comments… it appears that you should provide batch size selection for the ‘auto’ roast function perhaps by offering batch settings of 100 → 150 → 200 → 250 → 300 → 100 on each press of the ‘auto’ button before the roast begins. In other words if you want the auto roast of say 200 grams you just hit the auto button 3 times and the display shows 200 and then you hit start. It should remember and return to the last used batch size so the next time you want to auto roast you just hit auto once and it shows 200 and start.
Hi, I'm new to roasting and the Maga is my first roasting machine. If I like a light roast coffee do you recommend roasting 200 grams first in auto light mode ? Or should I go to the darker roast like medium even with 200 grams to see what the color should look like? I wouldn't know when to hit the cool down button by color yet.
Mine arrived today. I wanted to test it out and start at auto mode setting 2 with a 150g of beans but the temp was stuck at 38c for 9min. So I pressed cool and unplug and plugged it but it as the same. I guess I need to do some reading to figure this roaster out 😅
This happened to me at one point but it was actually part of the design. Did you see the snowflake emblem on the display? If you open the exit chute door and the small lock is NOT clicked over to the left, the machine will not activate the heating mechanism. It acts like it is working but there won’t be any heat. Make sure to click that piece into place and it should function normally again. You’ll see the fire emblem during the roast once the lock is engaged. I hope this is the simple fix you need!!
@@JohnDennery Thank you for your help! Yes the snow flake emblem appears on the display so I’m sure it’s like you say that the chute needs to be clicked over to the left. I’ll try that and hopefully it’ll work. Thanks again!
I found your review helpful. On the indegogo, it says shipping may, but it is may, and there is no other information or updates. Do you think it is worth the risk of the product being rushed and late, or should I wait to see what happens? It looks like there are 3 special , super early bird and early bird and a normal special, yet they are all different prices for the same thing. What is the best option? I need one by the next 3 months, but there have been no updates.
I don’t have any insider information about product shipping or production timelines but I will say that the current pre-launch price is a really good value!! I have recommended to my personal friends as well. I think you can probably ask the company questions on their site to get the answers you need. Happy roasting!
@@JohnDennery You will just get the generic "We are working hard to get it in production thanks for your patience" message like we are all getting, backing a new product on crowdfunding is always a risk to get a good price on a potentially groundbreaking product so its a waiting game until at least June for an update I think
Would be very interesting to see a roast from start to end with this machine

I also agree they need to fix the exit chute and limit the number of beeps at the end of the roast or even mute it

You should wait until the original backers confirm they have received the roaster. This is a huge risk and reviewers are helping to fuel it.
My roaster arrived but the buttons are unresponsive.... doesn't work.
