In need of a new Roaster

DaveWalker

Yep Paul has helped me out a tonne and have bought my grinder from him but unfortunately I didn't scroll down far enough on his link to see he sold the Behmor's as well and have ordered one from BeenGreen instead. But my wife wants a new espresso machine so that will definately head your way Paul once I get my roasting under control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, I'm looking at up grading from my Whirly Pop and after a lot of research I think I've come up with the best choices of Roasters. I'm hoping I can get some advice to help choose.

Hey! are you still looking to upgrade? I have a 500gm North roaster for sale. Less than 1.5years old. Around 100 roasts on it in Sydney area. It is great option and if you want experience with a commercial drum roaster this is it. although what everyone says is true i feel once you learn this kind of machine you can apply principles you learn to other machines, still have to learn there nuances from scratch but definitely helps with how probes work and using program and controls etc - what they do. Anyway if you are still in the market for something let me know. FYI - I want to upgrade myself thats why I am selling.

Right no worries. I have a few photos. I am trying now to upload. FYI I will be out of the country for 10 days from Sunday for any serious interest will have to wait until then.

Wow!! Lovely looking unit. Hope it roasts as good as it looks 😉

what would the price on this roaster be and does it need to be flued in? p

I did a review on a Hottop back in 2005 and they forgot to charge me for the roaster...well not forgetting but the review got a lot of coverage for them and they were delighted. I did keep waiting for the invoice but it never arrived. 12 years on it is still working. It is dead simple to use and always gives a good result, it is hard to fault, except for the price which is rather high but it is a great product. I've never had a single problem in that time, just replaced filters thats all.

They're a rather small volume roaster for the price are they not? At 400g the new Behmor is really quite amazing. KBean had it delivered to my door within the week (Melbourne to Brisbane) which is remarkable service! I've only done a couple of roasts but this little roaster is a category killer 😃

The Behmoor is 1/4 the price of a Hottop but they aren't as user friendly. A hottop is dead simple. The downside is the price. I can view the beans as they roast. 250g is what I do in the hottop. I have never used the Behmoor but from memory 250 grams is what my brother does in one. Price is an important consideration and the Behmoor does the job.

Spot on IG. Having had the old Behmor and now the new one, I use to do 500g well in the old Behmor when it was new. As it aged I dropped it to 400g and interestingly the new one recommends 400g also.
