Hello everyone, I am new to this forum.

I wanted to ask a question about which option for the Kaldi Mini I should pick. I live in Korea, so the price isn't too bad for both - coming in at around 150 USD for the Hand Cranked version and around 200 USD for the Motor version. I will be using the roaster maybe every two to three weeks for around a 150~200g batch. It would take around 10 minutes. I will be using this roaster for the next few years, so I want the best option. Also, I will be moving this overseas in a couple of years, so I might need a power converter for the motor version. I have heard that the hand-cranked is better for the longevity of the device, but the motor for convenience.

Hand Cranked


Motor



I could definitely use some help with deciding between the two. Thank you guys so much!
