Title: I just bought an Aillio Bullet R1
Post by: edgarallanpoe on June 07, 2018, 12:29:57 AM: I was on the list from SM to get one and just pulled the trigger. I'll let you guys know how it works out.

Personally I keep looking at it and not pulling the trigger because I can't decide if I want to go with a bullet, or something like a used 1K mill city roaster. I definitely want to upgrade from my whirly pop just can't decide.......

Keep us posted on how it's doing!

Good luck!

It does take a little mechanical maintenance, now and then, so you cannot be afraid of opening it up every now and then. I suggest getting a nice set of metric straight allen wrenches. You will use them.

Because the amount of torque is low, don't forget Harbor Freight, if it is convenient.
