Default Re: Roaster review: Behmor 1600

I was really cautious when I first started using the Behmor because of all the warnings, but I think they're overstating the fire danger to cover themselves. It's not an idiot proof machine -- loading a pound of dry processed beans and setting it for a Vienna roast would probably not be such a great idea, but I think the smoke pouring out of the machine would give you a good indication that something bad was about to happen anyway. So far I've managed to avoid any untoward combustion issues by just paying attention to the roast.

And a shop vac is not really necessary. A small paint brush (supplied) does the job just as well, though there is always a little bit of chaff that gets away and ends up on the floor.

Mis dos centavos.
