Rob takes us on a tour of this higher end home roaster, introducing us to its features and options, roasting up a batch and then tasting it a few days later.

    @tinbiscuite Yes, you can roast these beans for your espresso machine; the duration and temp would depend on the roast you wanted. – Kat

  5. This is a much sexier roaster but I’m gonna take you guys word that you may get a better roast out of the Behmor.

    @romancewriter I don’t know if that’s totally true — this was one time roast, we roasted on the Behmor 3 times before we got the right roast. Definitely think this one could get there without issue … but it is pricier :) – Kat

  7. That thing is purrdy!! Kinda sad we didn’t see the beans eject tho ;) should get velton in now to have him test the beans off all three roasters against his roast XD

  8. Hey guys, great video series!
    I was wondering how much the mass of the beans changed during roasting? How many ounces did you get out of 9oz of green beans? I’m just trying to work out how long it would take for a home roaster to pay for itself ;)
