I had some fun with this experiment in the desert, and I'm grateful to Bellwether for the support to make it happen. If you want to win some of the coffee, the link is here: bellwethercoffee.com/the-future-is-electric

One more thing - a full roast cycle worked out at around 0.6kwh/kg (this is both the preheat energy and the roasting energy). It took a while to work out the usage and then double check against Bellwether’s own calculations.
