Bar Well coffee roaster

[Roastmaster]

Hello

True, the phone couldn't capture the colour.

Just brought a Behmor and it's fantastic. Best thing ever :-)

I thought the picture looked like green beans but yeah slightly tanned not really attractive probably acidic as ever, I'm still on a modified popcorn maker but quite happy with the results compared my roasts to some local roasters and mine tastes better, probably helped by the large green beans Andy sells.

Good advice

My Behmor is in the mail and I was wondering if anyone has some hot tips to roasting with it.

I have been watching YouTube and everyone has different techniques.

It's a long way from 'drinkable coffee' to the great coffee that 99% of all CSers are used to...

Here's a better method. Get rid of the Bar Well and put together a Corretto Roaster.

Hello

The best I can get out of the Bar well is 5min warm up at 200 then add 400g for 10min then reduce temp to 180 for 20min

Bingo drinkable coffee

Please let me know if anyone has a better method :-)

Alarm bells

does anyone have experience with this roaster?

See:

and
https://coffeesnobs.com.au/home-roas...e-roaster.html

...and prob other threads here.

We would have 100's of CoffeeSnobs using it if it wasn't junk and could roast.

As suggested, lots of better home built options or invent your own.
Dog bowl, wooden-spoon and a heatgun works fine, add a windscreen wiper motor to save manual stirring or use a breadmaker to stir it.
In no time you'll be looking at stainless rubbish bins and blow-torches totally differently.

There are plenty of people who started out on popcorn poppers for coffee roasting. Plenty of threads on here if you are interested and don't mind the small batch size of 70-80 grams.

Steel wool would do the trick rather nicely I would think.

Thanks java

yes I’ve seen the corretto roaster, didn’t actually realise it was invented by a user? So I could get a bread maker and a heat gun but what do u do with the Teflon coated container? Do u find a bread maker that doesn’t have Teflon or remove the Teflon somehow ?

[Javaphile]

It's worthless, use a Corretto roaster instead.
