Outgrowing the Bullet?

Coffee Talk

If my Bullet R1 could do 3kg at a time, I would be running it that way pretty often. I guess success is a mixed bag and 1kg at a time is consuming long days for me.

Has anyone moved up from the Bullet to a floor standing roaster? Alibaba sells 5kg roasters for about 1.5x what the Bullet V2 Pro costs. I guess I could add a second Bullet to my shop and on a good mental day keep both of them going without burning beans, but I’m curious to hear about anyone’s experiences moving up to bigger equipment and especially from a seller like Alibaba.

For our church roasting projects, the R2 Pro is more than enough for now, but when we were shopping, the Valenta fluid bed roasters from Coffee Crafters were highly recommended. One of their models can do 8 lbs. at a time and about 45 lbs. per hour.
