Thinking about getting a Behmor 1600

[jgbutler]

I'm thinking seriously about buying a Behmor to do my roasting with and wanted to check and see if anyone here has one or has first hand knowledge of how good of a roaster it is by knowing someone that does have one.

I have been using a Poppery since I started roasting my own beans and really I'm quite content with roasting with it. I usually roast about a 1/2 pound at a time which will last me about a week. The problem is for the last several months I just don't have the time to roast....cool down period....roast...and so on until I have my 1/2 pound. Plus I'm going to start roasting decaf for my wife as well (she needs to go decaf and has not embraced the fresh roast yet, but that is soon to change). On top of that one of her co-workers and husband like fresh roasted but usually buy it already roasted and I have roasted them a few batches and turned them on to some origins they hadn't experienced yet and will probably continue to do so. I will have them roasting sometime soon.

Anyway from what I have read on the Behmor it seems to have some pretty good reviews. Just curious to see what anyone has to say about this roaster....good or bad!
