Well, I'd doubt that Behmor will re-brand it to meet NZ demands, so people might to (all) grey import it. -
They won’t be able to sell it as the AB in New Zealand without raising the ire of NZ Rugby. They’re rightfully quite protective of the moniker.Leave a comment:

I did wonder if we needed a ™ or ® or © when we use the AB name and knowing Mr Behm I expect he has already registered the mark somehow (but maybe not in NZ).
Maybe we'll have a Bledisloe special edition to send over the ditch?Leave a comment:

With a name like that and as a kiwi rugby fanatic vaguely thinking about a roaster, this looks like a must
Thanks Andy, will watch with interest

Behmor AB Coffee Roaster (also known as AB 1600 Plus and 1600 AB plus)
The Behmor AB is making a bit of noise via here, email, social media etc and I thought it was time to post a new thread.
Firstly and importantly, it does not exist yet!
Secondly, it's a minor upgrade to meet new EU rules.
Hand made prototypes of the 220v/230v/240v model are currently going through the certification process in Europe to meet their new electrical noise and safety standards. This roaster has some added insulation, different electrical components and double pane glass in the door to meet those standards.
This is the vaporware picture currently in BeanBay.
* The most obvious change is the colour, yes, it's "All Black" (AB).
* It has a different front handle from both the original USA and AU models.
* The side circuit board and the front panel use different electronics
* Roaster usage is the same.
The current schedule looks like the EU model will get certification about July and the AU electrical standards shortly after.
We will then build a container load of roasters and have them shipped here.
...so September is the best guess at the moment.
Per the BeanBay listing, please use the [Contact Us] to get added to the Behmor AB notification list. We'll email updates when we have them.
