New roaster is packed back in its case and in the original shipping box to go back for warranty repair (since it arrived in a non-functional state).
It looks like the motor only has two modes: full blast (meaning any coffee put into the machine is immediately expelled and it's moving more air than the heating element can heat so it never comes up to its pre-heat) and off. Also, once the machine notices a problem and puts on the purple light it takes 6-7 hours rest to do even that again.
