How Does Batch Size Affect Coffee Roasting Profiles?

How does batch size affect coffee roasting profiles? That is the question I try and answer in this video. The answer is dependent on what type of coffee roasting machine we are using. In my example today, I use a FreshRoast air roaster compared to a Kaleido drum roaster. The results for each of these roaster types were the opposite. The take away is an easy way for a home coffee roaster to change the profile without having to change any settings like drum speed, airflow, or power. Let me know how changing batch size might help you roast great coffee.
