...The thing I like about Joe is his commitment to improve his roaster an not gouge folks as well as work with all older roasters...

I like it when people include Peter.

He also said he had something else in the works that will be released next year that will also be offered as an upgrade to all Behmors.


A 2x4 to put under the front of the roaster?

This is really nice, I think it boosts the Behmor a lot. The biggest thing it doesn't fix, which would make it cost a ton more is it being so voltage dependent. However, the idea of this really kills most of my lust for any other consumer machine. Salivating atm for the new board to be released.

Behmor 1600 Plus?
« Reply #21 on: May 04, 2014, 07:16:49 AM »
Just saw this at SM's Behmor 1600 Forum:

"For those not following the just-ended SCAA show, one of the 'new' products is the Behmor 1600 Plus. Our friends here at Sweet Maria's mentioned it, but more details can be found at: http://coffeegeek.com/forums/coffee/homeroast/666600.

I am very happy to see that existing models can be easily retrofitted (I already have a spare control panel as it is and it's a pretty easy job). The temp readouts are not new, though maybe they are recalibrated into meaningful numbers? But the additionof the manual mode, even though it is limited, should be a huge boost to functionality. Now to find out when the upgrade is available..."

Just FYI.

The manual mode with 4 power levels and off will definitely improve things for me. I have to admit that I don't really know at what stage of the roast I should change drum speed and what I can expect from it. I can get readings from the sensors by pressing P1 and P2 during the roast cycle with my 220-240v model.

Interesting but won't it stall the roast if the heat is turned off and the drum rotation is doubled? This is going to be a new learning curve when the upgrade is retrofitted.

The temp readouts don't function on my 2007 Behmor, must have been introduced after the first runs.

What temperature readouts?

I wonder if the new board will give temp readouts on my early Behmor, don't know if the sensors are in place.  Of course, I already have two thermocouples installed in my Behmor connected to RoasterThing for real-time temp monitoring so even if the sensors aren't there in my roaster the power and drum speed control will definitely be appreciated.

Doesn't on mine either! I would read about it and wonder wtf!

Looks like I'll be getting another Behmor. Based on the reported "under $400" for the new + model, it doesn't make sense to spend $75 on my '08 ish model.

Just bought the Grounds for Health auction Plus. Good price and great cause.

I am looking forward to the new Behmor. I will convert my 07 ish model eventually also.

I still have my 2010 Behmor, and will upgrade it to the plus as well. I hope to pass it on to a family member to start roasting!
