Bottom Line: GREAT roaster -looks like a toaster. Compact. Well Built. Lots of roasting options or you can set the poundage and push start. Will satisfy all but most discriminating roasters.

Jerry Kalpin (quality: 8.5) 02.08.2011 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: It fits my needs completely: roast sizes, time invested, odor control, easy cleanup and minor intrusion on kitchen space.
Karl Denninger (quality: 8.5) 02.27.2011 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Roasts coffee like what I pay $15 a pound for but priced like an old VW Beetle. HIghly recommended.
John Walker (quality: 8.3) 11.17.2011 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Get the Behmor!
Ken Graham (quality: 8.0) 11.26.2011 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Great for ligher and medium roasts. You will earn your money back on this machine within 6 months of roasting.
Paul Wood (quality: 5.0) 01.30.2009 Rating: 9.2

Dwight Karlsen (quality: 7.5) 03.08.2012 Rating: 9.2

Jim Lane (quality: 5.6) 10.15.2008 Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Behmore 1600 - so good, it does not need an infomercial.
Ash Furrow 10.29.2010 Rating: 9.0

Dustin Renner (quality: 6.0) 04.12.2009 Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: $300 for this machine is crazy. I do not see any alternative at all. BUY IT and be happy
Al Smith (quality: 8.8) 07.28.2008 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: After playing with all the rest (or not), try a Behmor 1600, see and taste the difference a real roaster makes.
Joseph Levitt (quality: 8.6) 04.15.2012 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: Turns out I LOVE roasting my own beans. I can now enjoy the top quality of beans (Jamaican, Kona, etc.) for about half of the cost of retail roasted beans---and roasted my way!
Prav Moodley (quality: 4.0) 02.08.2009 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: FANTASTIC BEGINNER DRUM ROAST MACHINE
Scot Murray (quality: 7.2) 09.05.2011 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: An excellent upgrade from hot-air popping. Well made, well supported, well documented.
Norm Hardy (quality: 7.7) 10.23.2010 Rating: 8.6
Bottom Line: A great easy-to-use roaster that will more than satisfy 95% of home roasters.
Endo Smith (quality: 8.5) 11.15.2008 Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: The best roaster value available today. Standard profiles result in under-roasted beans (can be overcome by cheating).
John Bellinger (quality: 5.0) 04.27.2010 Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: I love this roaster, great product- buy it!!
Colin 2 (quality: 5.8) 10.03.2010 Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: For home-use batches, a bargain.
Peter Bigone (quality: 7.3) 01.23.2013 Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Given the competition, this is the nachine to have unless you've lots of money to spend.
Dennis Sesplankis (quality: 2.8) 10.27.2008 Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: Look elsewere if you want greater control and darker roasts
