Behmor 2000AB Plus Home Coffee Roaster

Description

I recently got a new Hottop roaster and don't need this unit anymore. This unit has served me pretty well for the last 9 month. It is easy to use. All you need is to choose the weight of the bean and push the pre-programmed button. It also has some manual capability to test your own roasting style. I have roasted the beans about 30 times with this and it works great. It operates on 120V power. I don't have the original boxes and other stuffs came with this unit. You will get machine with original operation manual. What you see is what you get.
Product Detail
This is the latest Behmor 2000AB Plus model. The "Plus" was added in the summer of 2020 and added the features shown below. Owners of the prior Behmor 2000AB can purchase an upgrade kit should they wish to convert to this latest build. There are no outward appearance differences between the Behmor 2000AB Plus and Behmor 2000AB. All of the differences relate to functionality and preparation for future features. The new and/or improved features are as follows:
New higher multi-speed motor for better roast control, 16 and 32 RPM
New 2x powerful micro controller (MCU) increases speed between program changes by 50%
New On Board Audible Beep Advisory, the unattended safety shutoff with 15 seconds remaining warning
New Universal Power Board and Control Board which adds future flexibility
New Reprogrammed Firmware Feature (requires a wired connection) allows for future upgrades
The Behmor 2000AB roasts 1/4, 1/2 or 1 pound of coffee with a choice of five profile programs. You cannot save program changes, but some modifications can be made during a roast cycle to alter results. A terrific roasting feature is the Behmor's smoke suppression system, which is very effective at nearly eliminating roasting smoke and much of the associated aroma. This roaster, as the instructions will tell you, is not for doing dark roasts. The maximum roast darkness is about 10 seconds beyond the second crack, which presents as a lightly spotted roast, a little beyond Full City, or what you might describe as a light Viennese Roast. If you wish to roast coffee darker than this you should look at our other choices in home roasters. However, if your needs are in the realm of lighter roasts, which are best for coffee's flavor nuances, the Behmor is a real contender.
The Behmor 2000AB offers a lot of surprises and in many ways it is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Upon opening the shipping box the first impression was that the box itself was substantial. When we took the roaster out of the inner product packaging a few things stood out. Firstly, and everyone will say this,the roaster looks like a toaster oven or perhaps a microwave. We have to admit it's nicely made and it's obvious from the outset that a lot of detail and thought has gone into its finishes. The exterior, pull down door has a matte black finish facing out, with a knife shaped window a couple of inches tall and nearly the full width of the door. To the right of the door is the control panel and display.
