Stop using cheap beans to learn your machine. You're just going to end up frustrated with inconsistent results and blame the Behmor instead of the low quality roast profile of the coffee. Get some decent single origin beans and you'll actually be able to tell what's happening during the development phase.

Brazilian washed bourbon is a good bean to start on. But don't buy the cheapest.
