  • Behmor Coffee Roaster UK version bought January 2022 - £199

Oh, this is so tempting. Do you mind me asking why you’ve decided to sell? What is your experience of roasting with this machine? Is it doable inside or is it still quite smoky?

If I were to buy this, I have relatives near Marlborough, so would you be willing to hold on to this until I next visit? Would definitely like a walk through of the process. I would obviously transfer the money through if sale is agreed.

I can see this has got some traction… 😉

Elcarajillo - I’m happy to hold until whenever. As you can see, I’m not in a hurry at all. I don’t live too far from Marlborough, so if Newbury/Thatcham is on your way, then that’s even easier. Personally, I would not roast indoors - maybe under a good extractor fan yes, but not without it. Although it doesn’t smoke like the Gene, it has an afterburner. So you still get smoke, but you can’t see it. But the smell is there, and it will linger for a few days.

prezes - Meet up in Northampton…. That’s a little bit out of my way, but I do work in Oxford. Where do you live? What’s halfway for you?

As for reasons why I’m selling. I’m just not the guy who enjoys roasting. I tried a few times (Gene Cafe, Something I made myself and later the Behmor). With the Behmor, you can hear first crack loud and clear. With the Gene, it was hard, for me at least.

I don’t think I have the aptitude for roasting. In a way, I’m too mechanical and technical, so the intuition is what I lack - Same for cooking. I suck. So I decided to let the pros do it. For £180… it’s a steal if you want to get into roasting.

        MediumRoastSteam 180… it’s a steal if you want to get into roasting.

        If I were one of the people considering it, I would not wait another second and risk someone else taking it. It’s an incredible price for a near new machine from an A* reliable seller (from experience). I would buy it myself if I didn’t have a backup roaster already. ;-)

        MediumRoastSteam - I hope you won’t regret selling it. Personally I would much prefer to have a roaster than that money.

            I’ll take it at asking price if you’re in no rush for pick up. How do you want to be paid?

            prezes I’m Corby so Northampton was around half way looking at the map.

            Thanks. I’ll consider, but not on top of my list I’m afraid. It’s 1h30m drive from my home.

                Annoyingly, I’ve just been to in-laws last week so may be a few months before another visit. Am in Cheltenham mid- Feb for a weekend, so may be able to come down then.

                  thewelshvet - sure thing. That should be absolutely fine - at least I don’t have any plans at the moment.

                  I’ll make a disposable email address tomorrow and we can exchange further details. 👍

                  Cheltenham is about 60 mins away.

                    Have replied to your email but did not deliver.

                    Great to have met you too. Thanks for taking the time to show me the roaster in action too!! 

                    Haven’t had chance to try a roast yet. The weather today would be perfect but it’s my daughter’s birthday this weekend so we’re busy. As you found, time is probably going to be a major factor in using the roaster!!

                    I’ve almost finished a bag of dark peak, so the beans we roasted will be started in the next day or so. Looking forward to trying them. I’ll let you know.

                    Cheers,

                    Lee
