However the roast I think demonstrated the beans had absorbed a fair amount of water. I noticed some 'odd' things going on too. For starters the beans turned very dark quite early on, then went pale/mottled orange, then mottled dark colours. It was at this point I realised it was all going horribly wrong.
To acheieve something resembling a decent roast colour took some doing, then some beans showed oils and others didn't.
Tasting - well I have just had a shot and it wasn't good. I'll wait until a bit later to try again; it doesn't look great.
As in all things, experimentation is fun; however I do not think home equipment can really acheive anything decent with this scenario. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
