Customers are mixed about the size of the roasting pan. Some mention it's great for roasting small amounts of coffee at one time, while others say the handle is too small and they need to wear oven mitts.

Customers are mixed about the temperature of the roasting pan.

The heat distribution is even and consistent throughout the base which allows for even roasting. However, others say that the handle does get pretty hot and they wear heat resistant gloves when they do the roast. The resistance isn't great and the metal eyes the lacing is thru gets very hot, making it a burn hazard.
"...Also, during the 1st crack, coffee becomes exothermic, producing its own heat. As temperature increases, there's a "second crack" that sounds deeper...." Read more

"...The smell is also great.* The temperature matters a lot...." Read more
"...Find a way to roast outside if possible. This roaster creates a lot of smoke...." Read more
"...using the Nuvo is that it's clean (very little chafe escapes), smell is minimal (I have a hood but rarely use it unless producing a dark roast),..." Read more
"...After first crack (maybe 10 minutes in) wisps of smoke come off, but the stove hood does fine...." Read more

This is definitely not a fire-and-forget kind of contraption. It takes some trial and error to develop the skills to use it, but that's part of what makes it fun.
Having fresh coffee is amazing and I can't imagine going back to the stale old beans from the store. It's easy to find good, inexpensive green beans, with a variety of flavors and that can be stored for a long time before roasting.
I've used this roaster almost every day for the last few months with a gas stove.
The process takes 15 minutes.
This is what I do:
* Use about 3 scoops of beans exactly.
* After turning on the heat, swish the beans around in circle-like patterns over the flame and do not stop moving, not even for a second, or else they will burn. I'll turn the temperature down a little after I hear a first crack.
* The roaster body stays hot even after the stove is off and it'll keep roasting the beans for a minute or two after, so even after the stove is off, keep the circular motions going and plan the roasting cycle with that in mind
* I find it easy to watch the beans change color in this roaster, despite what some other reviews say. The smell is also great.
* The temperature matters a lot. It's possible to adjust the stove temperature or to move the roaster different distances from the flame also.
* After roasting I dump them into a glass jar and rotate the jar around a bit to keep them moving. A lot of chaff sticks to the glass of the jar, which is good.
* After they cool off a bit I put them into a colander and dump them back and forth into another colander. Blowing on them lightly also easily blows away some of the light chaff.
One time I accidentally left the roaster on the stove while cooking something else and accidentally burned away the leather handle cover thing. Even without the leather handle it doesn't get very hot to touch, even over a gas flame, and I now prefer it without the leather.
I also added a small folded metal screen piece that I cut for this purpose, that i put inside the tube part of the handle (a "Hard and Heat Resisting Screen Mesh" on amazon). Before adding this screen, sometimes a few hot beans would blast out through the tubular handle. With this screen, now they don't fly out, and the hot air can still vent out through the handle.
As far as roasting goes, I'm not sure there is any superior method of home roasting. Indeed there are automatic machine roasters capable of doing roasting profiles but these are typically expensive commercial machines and completely automate the process. For me, I got into roasting for the craft aspect of it, using my senses to roast my batches to my preferred roast levels. For $30, you are able to achieve some excellent and replicable results, which you have a very direct hand in controlling. In this way, this product can produce similar results to roasting machines costing several times the price.
It should be noted that the batch sizes are fairly small; one can roast between 30-60 grams per batch. This could be considered either a pro or a con, depending on how much coffee one drinks per day. I've found that I get my best results roasting smaller batches, between 30-40 grams, but i can roast several batches back to back. This gives me great control over roasting profiles and allows me to create blends on the fly. However, i could see some taking this as a limitation if they wish to roast more. I have found that exceeding 60 grams in a single batch can lead to uneven roasts.
Overall, I think this is an excellent roaster that is probably the best for home roasting so long as one invests the time to get good with it. I had the opportunity to use some mechanical roasters and I couldn't imagine those being used practically in a home setup.
