Selling a Behmor 1600 roaster in good working condition - £140
[If there's a better place on reddit to post this, please do comment!]
Selling a very well-maintained Behmor 1600. As others on this sub have said, if you're looking to get into home roasting this is a great roaster to start with. Only passing this on as I'm upgrading, and throwing in 400g green beans from some producers in Lâm Đồng, Vietnam (82+ blend of Catimor/Bourbon/others, have a range of washed and natural, msg if you have a preference).
* Condition: Used, excellently-maintained and now recently cleaned.
* Maintenance: The interior has been cleaned of chaff, oil and scuff marks.
* Performance: Works well. It heats consistently and the drum rotates smoothly. The cooling cycle functions as it. I roasted batches from 150-400g with good results, but times will vary widely. It's fairly quiet so no issues hearing cracks. Needs ~5 minutes between batches.
Note on Condition:
One of the original rivets at the bottom of the door was lost. Previous owner replaced this with a secure wire fix (pictured) and I had no issues with it. It's a cosmetic repair and does not affect the seal of the door or the function of the roaster. Door opens and closes without any issues—I forgot about it until now.
As others have said here, Behmor makes some of the most user-friendly and durable home roasters on the market, with plenty of tips and tutorials online (Sweet Maria's, etc). They have a relatively large capacity (up to 1lb—more than anything else worthwhile in this price range) and emit very little smoke (so long as you clean the chaff tray under the drum!).
Can ship to UK if buyer covers shipping. Comment or msg and I'm happy to send the link to the Vinted or Gumtree listing as well.
Includes: Roaster, roasting drum, chaff tray and power cable (UK).
