Beans are not uniformly roasted. Why?

Seriously, you saved my morning..... Thank you!

🙏🏾

This was great!

Very interesting video. I am about to roast and will be eating some Quakers and well-roasted beans to discern the qualities they bring to my cup...thanks!

Still doesn’t work. Half circles are garbage.

Cool.

Rad!

I may be going way to long it appears in my popper the chaff starts coming off during a very audible cracking stage! After all the chaff has completed about a minute goes by maybe 3 minutes in and a light cracking sound starts after the cracking sound completes I been timing 30 seconds before shutting off My beans are quite a bit darker than you show in the video If I let the beans continue another audible cracking sound starts and I have gone 10 seconds into that crack before shutting off! Usually my total time in the popper is between 3:44 and 4:00 Also I noticed after what I call first crack the temp will be at about 436 and drop rapidly to 360? I drilled a hole in the side to place a thermometer

Absolutely awesome video, you are so generous with sharing your knowledge. I've seasoned my drum and about to do my first roast, but thanks to you, will spend more time getting intimate with the green beans before dumping them in the roaster. Thank you.

Thanks Tom. Appreciate you doing this. Learned a lot as always. Enjoyed meeting, talking to you and Julia at expo last month.

Amazing video! Thanks!

Thank you for such a thorough and honest breakdown of the pros and cons of this roaster.

Thank you for this video! Every time when I purchase from a new roaster I wonder in my amateur pourover minds if the beans are unevenly roasted or if it’s the bean itself.

I have made a from panel support available for use when cleaning the Aillio Bullet. It includes a place to store the front panel screws.

I was believing that it was processed by the persone I called honey all the time!!!

If the drum is making a grinding/scraping noise while roasting, how can I try to fix that?

Geeking out and gaulk session priceless information, with eye candy description, my display box will be does and don't from inexperience home roasting to (better home roaster) more experienced my passion is trying to bring out the best flavors thanks for the vine😉

I'm sorry your dogs weren't very enthusiastic about those, I think they're nice

Thank you for doing this. It is really interesting and i loved the history stories

Newbie: I have roasted using a 500° oven, air popper, cast iron, manual churn popper on electric stove. I have tried stopping after 1st Crack, between 1and2, 2, till I see oil. Nothing impressed me. B4 I buy more greens I am buy8ng whole bean roasted. I have tried brazil,honduras,columbia,guatemala I assume it's my error Or can you recommend a bean that you have got expected results.

All these videos of yours I’ve watched I had no idea that you started sweet Maria’s. I’ve always just enjoyed your content and thought that you were really knowledgeable about coffee and roasting.

Anyone know where to find a voltage regulator like what is used here? Internet search got me know where. Thanks

Every behmor video I watch keeps me further away from buying one. What a disaster of engineering. Ford must have sent their team over to behmor. The worst possible design with zero intuitive controls.

when is the best part you can do it outside 👍🏼

I'm roasting on a Kaldi Fortis. I have not quite mastered 10 Speed blend. Appreciate the roasting notes.

The motor on my Popper conked out at around 80 roasts. Luckily had ordered a motor just in case. Replacement went fine and the new motor seems much more powerful. I get plenty of bean movement on 100gs with the fan on low. Just now finished the video and saw that you have same thought that replacement motor is more powerful. Good idea to try bigger batch. I have some SM coffee due to arrive tomorrow, I’ll give a slightly bigger batch a go. Thanks for all y’all do to help educate us on our coffee journeys!

Hi, Why did you give up trying to use the drum... thx

Link for “here’s the popper we recommend” in description is broken.

Love the video!!

great video! there must be a cooling cycle in there somewhere 🙂

I just bought a Behmor 1600+ second-hand from FB marketplace place, and the original owner had all the original manuals along with Sweet Maria’s postcard guide and instructions sheet. Just watched this video and roasted my first batch in this roaster. I just upgraded from a heat gun and bread maker. Still very green in the roasting game! Thanks for the knowledge 🧠

Mine still going strong too. They’re built like tanks. Minus the roasting drum, on my third one and I’m having to use various hacks to keep the top from opening mid-roast.

If I leave my Behmor 1600+ on P5 for the whole roast, it will race through first crack and into second crack very quickly. I drop it to P3 at the start of first crack for 30 sec to slow it down a bit and then back to P4 to finish.

Guys, I love Sweet Maria's and it was a great discussion, BUT, twice you brought up the heat gun and then never got around to spending ANY TIME on it. Not one second. I use a heat gun, a dog bowl and a wooden spoon. I feel it is absolutely the best and cheapest way for someone to give coffee roasting a try. I started that way 7 years ago and never did 'upgrade'. I regularly come within a point or two of the highest scores in home roasting competitions. And the total cost is under $50 with almost nothing to break. My usual batch is 10 ounces and first crack hits at about 8-9 minutes. And after 2 more minutes to cool back to room temp, the whole process is under 15 minutes from green to the finished container. I have done two very good videos and have studied this method for years. Let me know if you would like the link to the videos.

I know this may upset coffee purists, but if you enjoy the fruitiness of honeyed coffees, adding a bit of Cascara to the brew can have some interesting results.

Question: Is it really necessary to replace the drum into the roaster before restarting the cooling cycle? Extra time for the roaster to spray hot and more chance of skin burns.

Ooo... update us on the refurbish, keep the original color and finish make it work like new but still look used😉

Actually, amazingly enough, horsefeed bags (50 pound) are stitched the exact same way. Small world.

There is also the "Moving a Probat Roaster" video from Sweet Maria's five years ago that I referred to with my roaster ruclips.net/video/d18d_fvdnaQ/видео.html

Now I just need a small coffee roaster...

Más facil imposible. Thanks.

How much does each one of those coffee bags weight?

Awesome! I knew there was an easy way but I could never figure out on my own what the actually important part is!

did you get this coffee from a AAA farm?

Just completed the motor replacement. New motor seems much more powerful. I increased my batch size by 10g and got more bean movement than ever. So much so in fact, first crack was much later with similar wattage output. I decreased fan speed to precipitate first crack. Overall quite the improvement!

Can roasting be done in silence, with beans on racks in enclosed oven?

You probably can't help it but your voice is horrible for this type of work.

This was so helpful. I went from a Bambino Plus that had an autofrother function to the Silvia Pro X and was having trouble getting it right. My first try after watching this was SO much better.

From all of the roasting machines I have put together from scratch, I think a wok has been my favorite of far. As you here are flipping the beans to keep the roast even, a wok is much easier than the heavy cast iron pan. A wok also keep the heat in one area and does a great job of even heat. In may wok I believer a 14 inch one, I can roast 1/2 pound with no problem.
