Home roasting with a Behmor drum roaster

What the Behmor 1600 Plus is

The 1600 Plus is a compact drum roaster that handles batches from a quarter of a pound up to one pound of green coffee. It has a smoke suppression system and preset roast profiles, and it is designed for light through to medium-dark roasts rather than very dark Vienna, French or Italian styles.

Who it suits

It suits home enthusiasts who want to roast several cups worth of coffee at once rather than a small sample, and who are happy to learn by roasting often. Larger batches mean you can roast a week's coffee in one session.

What to think about when choosing

Smoke suppression reduces smoke but does not eliminate it, so plan to roast in a well-ventilated space or under a range hood, especially for darker roasts. Think about where you will place it, how much hands-on control you want, and whether you prefer logging and tweaking profiles on a computer.
