About The Behmor 1600 Plus:
The Behmor 1600 Plus is the world’s first and only one-pound* capacity home coffee roaster, taking up to a pound of green coffee to second crack without emitting visible smoke through the use of patent pending smoke suppression technology. It is the only home roaster in the world manufactured with a variable speed motor to properly agitate beans, allowing for more efficient cooling and chaff removal.
The 1 pound capacity is based upon an actual input voltage of 120v. The actual capacity and results may vary according to your power company’s supply into your home. For Full City+ roasts, we recommend you reduce the quantity of the roast to ½ pound.
The Behmor 1600 is not intended to roast coffee to levels known as Vienna, French, or Italian.
The Behmor 1600 Plus is designed to provide user options of adjustable roast times, roast profiles, and cooling times, all at your fingertips, on the easy-to-use control panel. The system will roast according to the roast Profile you have chosen, taking into account how much you are roasting and any additional time you’ve have added. The roast times can be adjusted by using the + / - buttons or using the “C” button- details later in the manual. To provide further options, the system has been designed to allow the user to choose various roast profiles that can alter the nuances of each coffee.
Cooling is an equally important aspect of insuring the finest end results when roasting. The Behmor 1600 is pre-programmed to immediately go into a cooling cycle once the roast cycle has been completed. It can also be controlled manually. Both cooling features utilize a uniquely designed multi-speed motor, and a fan that cools the beans while separating the chaff by pushing it into the chaff tray for easy disposal.
