Is this the end of the line for my Breville Dual Boiler 920xl?

My, Oh My-Which Roaster should I buy?

Roaster is supposed to arrive on Friday so my weekend is planned Question: Does any of you have a recommendation on how to store multiple freshly roasted batches? Is a vacuum box really necessary? How long do you let your espresso roasts rest and how long is it enjoyable after the roast?
