The Behmor roaster now ships with the Small Grid Drum. So this is only for folks who want to upgrade their older roaster.

This drum for the Behmor 1600 roaster is made with just a slightly smaller grid size to make it easier to roast small bean coffees and blends with small beans. With the older drum, these beans can fall through the grid.

The smaller grid does mean that there will be more chaff caught in the drum with the roasted beans. Chaff is essentially flavor-neutral, so it is not a problem to grind a little chaff with your coffee - or you can blow off the chaff.  We recommend this drum for coffees such as Yemen, and even longberry Harar types that tend to get stuck in the wire grid of the older Behmor drum.

Unlike the old model, this one has hingeless clasp and a diagonal grid pattern.
