Behmor 1600 coffee roaster - group taste test
Depending on which bean, of course, but I usually get the 1st snap of 1st crack at about 12 minutes into the roast, sometimes as much as 13 minutes. When I compare a roast done similarly with the Gene to the Behmor w/P4, the differences are slight but noticeable. The Behmor being a bit richer at the...

Behmor 1600 coffee roaster - group taste test
I tend to use either P1 or P4, depending on speed of roast. Here's what I've been doing with P4 for my Bolivian, Colombians and Timor Maubesse 8 oz load P4, 1#, D, then use - key to take time down to 15 minutes Hit start After start, I add 6 +'s Sometimes I have to add

Izzo Alex or La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II?
To use quote, just click the 'quote' button, then you can delete the parts inside of the quoted text. Just don't delete the part that say Plumb in limits your model selections, and for some of the pourovers that have a plumb in kit, well the price then becomes equal to or greater than the Alex... As...

Izzo Alex or La Spaziale Mini Vivaldi II?
Glad you like the Ascaso. Mine gets used every day for about 4-6 grinds and has held up as well as I expected. Kind of pooh-poohs the 'oh it is not as sturdy as the Mazzer and Macaps' stuff I heard when I went looking. Yep, it isn't as sturdy as them, but it is much more

Behmor 1600 coffee roaster - group taste test
I've never intentionally not taken a roast to at least the first snaps of 2nd crack. Well, not exactly true.

Behmor 1600 coffee roaster - group taste test

Behmor 1600 coffee roaster - group taste test
