Kaleido M10 First Batch Struggles Signal a Thermal Quirk
⏱ 1 min read The Short Version The Kaleido M10’s first batch takes 15–20% longer to roast due to thermal lag, revealing a design quirk that challenges preheating assumptions and highlights the necessity of thermal mass for consistent results. The initial roast presents unique challenges that extend beyond routine variability. Roasters recognize this intuitively, yet the Kaleido M10’s first batch reveals a more technical limitation. Users report that the first roast takes 15–20% longer to reach dry end and first crack, even after preheating to 440°F for 30 minutes. This delay suggests an inherent thermal lag in the machine’s design,…
