And @Fyoosh yeah that’s why I’m suspicious about the usability of the product itself. As a repurposed tea roaster it’s not ideal for the amounts of coffee that most people people would require.

Didn't even know tea roasters were a thing! Went for the Nuvo as an impulse buy. Looks to only be around 10 mins per batch so should be decent enough to experiment with. Doubt it'll lead to me switching entirely over to green beans! More just a part of the process that I've never had any hands on experience with.

Is that from the manufacturer? Can't see that being the case, as far as I'm aware a roast tends hit it's peak within the first week before going off and I'd set a rough limit of around a month as a 'use by' date.
Can't see anything specific to stovetop roasting that would cause the quality to drop off quicker than a conventional roaster.
Edit: Spotted that it's from the ZenRoast site, yeah I don't buy that for a minute, especially when accompanied by the "coffee is only fresh 3 minutes after brewing". Guess my siphon that takes about 10 minutes to cool can go in the bin I guess!
