AB

Thank you, Joe Behm - Behmor Inventor 

 

About the Behmor: 
 

The Behmor is the world’s first and only one-pound / 454 gram* capacity coffee roasters with built in smoke 
suppression  technology,  taking  up  to  a  454*  grams  of  green  coffee  to  second  crack  without  emitting  visible 
smoke through the use of patent pending smoke suppression technology. It is the only small capacity roaster in 
the  world  manufactured  with  a  variable  speed  motor  to  properly  agitate  beans,  allowing  for  more  efficient 
cooling and chaff removal. 
 

*The 454 grams capacity is based upon an actual input voltage of 120v.  The actual capacity and results 
may vary according to your power company’s supply. For Full City+ roasts, we recommend you reduce 
the quantity of the roast to 200 grams. 

 

The Behmor Roaster is not intended to roast coffee to levels known as  

Vienna, French, or Italian. 

 
The Behmor is designed to provide user options of adjustable roast times, roast profiles, and cooling times, all 
at  your  fingertips,  on  the  easy-to-use  control  panel

The  system  will  roast  according  to  the  Profile  you  have 

chosen, taking into account how much you are roasting and any additional time you’ve have added. The roast 
times  can  be  adjusted  by  using  the  +  /  -  buttons  or  using  the  “C”  button-  details  pages  9,  10,  12,  and  13.  To 
provide further options, the system has been designed to allow the user to choose various roast profiles that can 
alter the nuances of each coffee  
 
Cooling  is  an  equally  important  aspect  of  insuring  the  finest  end  results  when  roasting.  The  Behmor  2000

AB

 

Plus is pre-programmed to immediately go into a cooling cycle once the roast cycle has been completed.  It can 
also be controlled manually.  Both cooling features utilize a uniquely designed multi-speed motor, and a fan that 
cools the beans while separating the chaff by pushing it into the chaff tray for easy disposal.   
 

Important Safeguards

 

 
The Behmor 2000AB Plus is not a set and walk away device, always stay by the roaster when it is in use. 

 

Never  leave  the  roaster  unattended  when  it  is  in  use.  User  supervision  is  required  to  control  the  roast. 
Preset times and programs are merely estimates and a manual cooling button is provided so the user can 
cease the roast at any time. It is the user’s responsibility to act and use the Behmor in a safe manner as 
described  in  all  sections  of  the  manual  including  “Safeguards”  and  “Warranty.”  Like  all  foods  placed 
close to high heat, coffee beans can ignite.
