Echo

Review by Richard H on 8/4/2011

I can only echo what David G. has said. Great roaster at a reasonable price with superb customer support. And yes, you can reach a dark roast by using less beans but, then you may lose the finer qualities of the coffee to the "starbucks syndrome".

Best for the home roaster

Review by David G. on 8/3/2011

I've owned one of these for several years and had another brand prior. Nothing compares to the Behmor. You might find a good home roaster but it wouldn't do the quantity that this does. Behmor has corrected its statement about dark roasts, and suggests (as I do) that you roast less beans but set the machine at 1 lb. I most commonly do 14 oz. of green beans, set at one pound and get dark roasted results. The beans I'm currently using require that I do only 12 oz. at one pound. So don't be fooled by the statement that it won't produce a dark roast. Also, Behmor is a great company for support. Whenever I've had questions, or (very few) problems, they've responded very quickly, even on a weekend.
