This is a great review. On my second Behmor-the first one lasted 15 years and I was game for an upgrade but here's why I stuck with it and got another. It's amazingly practical. First the larger batch size. I roast 1.2 kilos at a time, three roasts, sometimes four, using the 400g setting. This takes a long time with smaller roast capacities of other home machine. Second the smoke suppression. I roast in the kitchen always. Who wants to be out in the cold? Thirdly, however, and most importantly, once you get a routine, it's actually blissfully simple. Warm the chamber. Measure out 380g. Press the 400g button, press P1 and wait until you hear first crack (the machine now beeps a couple of minutes before this happens to get your attention), when you hear first crack, press the C button, which resets the timer, then press the P3 button for a longer development profile and hit the Cool button when things look about right. You can crack the door open for a few seconds to speed up cooling or even open it and make a mess, but cracking it is usually enough. Three buttons and a bit of observation. Ask your self how much of a perfectionist you really are before buying something else. You can't go very dark, it's true, and it might not win you the WBC championship, though I bet you could get into the heats, but light roasts aren't hard. Get used the three button-press method before you start experimenting (you'll end up going back to it). We drink a lot of coffee and the Behmor roasts a lot of coffee with very little fuss.\ Random tip. Put the chaff (and used pucks) on your garden. Slugs hate it.

I have a cafe, can I use the Behmor to roast 3kg in a day. Not all at once, but throughout the day

I’ve roasted at home for over ten years and two Behmor’s. About to use a third Behmor and not going to let her talk me out of it! Always green coffees from Sweet Maria’s, the best.

This is why I buy my coffee from you. An honest, no holds barred review of a great machine that is NOT the "be all to end all" of roasters. Sweet Maria's will help you find the right tools to achieve your roasting goals!

Almost got a Behmor, but heard of the difficulty in reaching a dark roast so I opted for the Gene Cafe. Within a few months I discovered I liked medium to lite roasts better. Oh well, I really do love my Gene Cafe.

Interesting, I actually feel like the Gene Cafe does great with light roasts

I have roasted plenty of dark roast’s with my Behmor and yielded good results

Yes, especially if you do half pound go manual and select the one pound timing. Plenty of headroom for getting well into second crack.

Hello, hope you are fine! First of all, congratulations for the content that you share with us, really helpful and nice! I am a coffee lover and enthusiast from Brazil, and I am looking for my first home roast machine. I appreciate your help, I will be visiting the USA on the first week of February, and would like to buy a roaster from you - Currently I buy roasted beans from different suppliers (not always fresh as I would like to) - Most used brew method is the Aeropress and the Clever - Medium roast is my preference - Drink coffee mug twice a day - I am looking to learn "roasting science", but now also looking for simplicity.... I have a 4yr old kid, so I always look for energy/time saving in everything in my life... I am a computer engineer and like understanding details, reading manuals, etc... watch and read a lot about coffee science in general - Live in a house with plenty of space and good outlets (voltage/current/power fine) I researched a lot, and considering my needs and budget, I am about to decide between the Behmor 2000 and the SR800..... I know that there is the difference from drum/air, and something I don't like in the SR800 is the high risk of the glass breaking, especially with the extension tube...and considering that I live in Brazil, spare parts are not easy to find.... regarding the Behmor, I researched and it seems it is easy and at the same time, I still have the possibility to "dial" my roasting profiles..... and about the Genie vs the Behmor? Thanks in advance, Denis

The main difference between the Gene and Behmor is the batch size with the Gene only roasting 8oz but if you are interested in roasting darker batches, the Gene has an advantage.

I just got my Behmor and it is fantastic. I have done 10 roasts this week and it is not hard to understand or see and smell. 1st crack to 2nd is the sweet spot. "C" button will help anyone roast great coffee.

Agreed! The C button is a life saver.

Any recommendations for a light roast roaster? I have a nesco but it’s not consistent for light roast and I also want to increase throughput

The Behmor is great for light roasts and it will roast a lot more than a Nesco. Sorry for the late reply. KZbin hid your question from us.

한국에도 정식 수입되면 대박날거에요 한국에 있는 로스터기 가격이 많이 비쌉니다 정가에 수입이 되면 홈로스팅 및 작은 개인카페에서 엄청 살거에요 저 또한 구입할꺼구요

This or Gene Cafe?
@SweetMariasCoffee3 жыл бұрын
Both are great machines. The Behmor roasts more and produces very little smoke. The Gene Cafe has better visibility and easier to use controls. Take a look at our website for info so you can get the right one. Sorry for the late reply. KZbin hid your question from us.
