About The Behmor 2020SR Plus:
The Behmor 2020SR Plus 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 220-240v. 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 2020SR is not intended to roast coffee to levels known as
Vienna, French, or Italian.
The Behmor 2020SR Plus 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 10, 13
and 14. 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 2020SR 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.
The Behmor 2020SR 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 2020SR Plus 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.
