- OBSOLETE INFORMATION BELOW -
I roasted coffee beans with the Behmor for three years. I no longer believe it is useful to search for the "perfect profile".

There is too much variation in how the Behmor roasts from one location to another in my own house, much less allowing for differences in altitude, or state by state. It appears that the Behmor roasts differently based on the amount of voltage available. It tends to roast slower in the summer in Atlanta, due to the power consumed by all the air conditioners in the neighborhood. As each year goes by, the Behmor seems to roast a bit slower - probably due to aging of the quartz heating elements.

I started roasting my own coffee beans in 2010 using a Behmor 1600. I got frustrated searching through the 20+ pages of discussion on Coffeegeek.com and GreenCoffeebuyingclub.com about which profiles people have successfully used for certain green coffee beans.

I captured the individual pages to Acrobat PDF files and put them all together into a single file (for each web site). This makes finding the Behmor profile for a particular coffee MUCH easier.
