Behmor Coffee Roasting Recipe

In today's video I show you how to make a Behmor Coffee Roasting Recipe. The concepts and tips I share can be applied to just about every coffee roasting device. I talk about the important decisions you will make before the beans go into the roaster and then we will watch and talk about the entire roast from Charge to Drop as we create a delicious Behmor coffee roasting recipe.

One of the best video for Behmor, I watched it 3 times, and went roasting. The first batch was 225 grams, charge temp 240f I ended up with 56, 29, 15, so I did 2 things on the next one, charged at 277 loaded 200 grams and got 50, 34, 15, 4, could not resist tasting, Yirgacheffe natural, came out sweet and fruity, raspberry taste, can’t wait to let it evolve. Thank you so much for this video!👍👍👍

I can tell you have a wealth of knowledge to share but you might want to consider your video editing process. 8 minutes before the action begins and an ad break on top of it is just too long, in my opinion, to ask a viewer to wait. I really do appreciate you sharing your experience with us. I just got an older ( 1600 ) Behmor and the upgrade kit just arrived yesterday. Thanks again.

I just want to take few minutes to thank you for your quality content ! I bought a behmor 1600+ few months ago because my coffee bean budget was out of control, i figured i could roast myself and save at least 50% so I found a used and very cheap behmor and bought it . At first i was victim of my beginers success because my few first roast were really nice so i thought it wasnt rocket science after all ! But the more the time and roast batch passed i notice that for some reasons some of my batch were good and some were strange, i could tell by looking at the beans mainly but of course the taste and extraction was weird also . I figured it might have to do with the green bean themself and brush it off, but my last batch i decided to strech the drying and browning phase and oh boy the result was very very good, i could see a difference looking at how it pour out of my naked portafilter . So today i kept digging and found this video from you and this is so helpfull ! I didnt even know that i could read my roaster temp using B .... 😅 you also answer my question about why my roaster fall in error ( over heat security ) and your videos are always very easy to understand, keep your good work 👍👍👍

Just starting to roast and have a used Nesco coffee roaster and getting decent roasts from it but Im wanting more control of my roast. This gives me more confidence to step up to a better roaster. Thank you for your videos!

[normanlist]

My Behmore at7min has the exhauste fan comes my exhauste temp A STARTS TO RISE WHILE MYDRUM TEMP OR B STARTS DROPPINGFROM AROUND 305 to 185 and then stars to rise again I feel this distorts my final results Thanks

You have greatly increased my knowledge of coffee roasting and the ins and outs of the Behmor. At present all our house contents are in storage as we relocate to Australia.
So I am looking forward to continuing my long time hobby now that i have a good basis to go forward with. Thank you for your hugely informative and practical videos. Very very much appreciated.

I think I'm confusing 1st and 2nd crack in my behmor is the first crack very quite? I must be not even hearing it. Is it possible to get audio of the 1st crack?

[neuroflare]

I replaced the light in my Behmor 2000ab with a white led microwave oven light. I like it so far, though it reflects a little harshly on the drum, I'm sure the drum will patina further with more use and reduce that glare. Removing the factory light was a pain in the rear, it was threaded with loctite.

[warababeser]

Can the Behmor be used for use at a cafe. And roast 3kg a day

[davidbate]

Hi, Ive had a Behmor 1600 plus for about 6-7 years and its finally carked itself, so Im looking at your video as Im thinking of buying the new Bm 2020 SR Plus.
AS a side note, what I did with my BM 1600+ was when Id finished roasting and hit cool, I'd rush it outside, opened the door completely and used my Makita 18V blower to speed up the cooling to preserve the yummy flavours. Your thoughts? DB from NZ

[MudMatters]

I use a bread machine. 680g approx 18min.

[randyjohnson]

Thanks for the tip. My thought was more volume would hold more uniform heat. I’ll try a pound. How long you think that should take from start to finish.

[TerryManitoba]

Another great video - I will be able to use the info on my Behmor & Hive.

Future videos on a Hive Roasting Recipe would be nice as well. I pulled the trigger on the "plugged data" model after your Hive video.
Next year I am driving to South America (2 years plus trip) From what I hear it will likely be easier to find green beans enroot than trying to find roasted beans. The Hive is compact and durable and now I know it produces great roasts.

[KpomoBespoke]

I do not own any roaster. I basically throw coffee into a sauspan or pot and constantly stir with a wooden spatula. Is there a way I can improve my results with this crude set up?

[chrishoy]

Thank you so much for the detailed video. This was really helpful in understanding the reasons behind the decisions. This narration of a roast after the fact is really effective in helping us understand your thinking. Rather than do this, do that (which is important in the beginning), this type of video helps develop knowledge at a much deeper level. Thank you!

[moryalex]

I'm using behmor 2000ab roaster, unfortunately there is no enough experimental videos for that model yet!

[franktaccetta]

Great video! Very helpful. I wonder about your non use of the “A” button. That temp of the afterburner is what I use to determine if I am getting close to auto shut off. I found that if I go higher the 415 my roast will shut off and my roast is ruined. I just wonder why you never mention it regarding your BehMor roasts? Thanks so much for what you do! Frank T

[jerryhubbard]

I finally got my SR800 5.17.2024 and the first roast was a little over done. But still able to drink the coffee. I love that machine and plan to get good with it.

I actually think you could reduce the dry time by reducing charge temp. That way you don’t have to drop to p4 for as long or at all.

[GNSmiley]

Ok, perhaps a silly question, but you said after the dry phase, “we want a descending rate of rise”. Is that meaning not a rise at all, but the temperature going down. Seems oxymoronic “descending rate of rise”.
