When the current USA supply of Behmor 1600 roasters are exhausted they will be replaced with the Behmor 1600 Plus, expected late summer.\u00a0 The only changes to the roaster will be a new Control Board (aka PCB) that will provide additional roasting controls and information, and, a new price.\u00a0 The PCB will allow home roasters to switch between the original automatic profiles and new manual settings.\u00a0 Users will be able to read thermistor and exhaust temperatures and also switch between two drum speeds.\u00a0 New MSRP is $399 and we will offer the Plus at the minimum selling price of $369.\u00a0 It should be noted that Behmor has not had a price increase since the roaster was first introduced 7 years ago.<\/p>\n

Do you need to upgrade?<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>If you have an existing Behmor 1600, you are happy with it and see no need to have manual overrides, than there is no need to upgrade by purchasing the upgrade kit or even a new roaster.\u00a0 When the time comes to purchase your next Behmor this is what you will get – exactly the same roaster that works as before when you want it to, but, has added features if and when you want them.\u00a0 You can continue to use the 1600 Plus just as did the 1600 when in its automatic (standard) mode.<\/p>\n

Control Panel Upgrade only<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Prior to the release of the Behmor Plus you will be able to purchase an upgrade kit consisting of the control panel and instructions for conversion. The selling price of this kit is $49.99.\u00a0 We expect to have upgrade kits in early to mid July.\u00a0 By upgrading your existing Behmor 1600 with this kit you will end up with a Behmor Plus – there are no other differences.<\/p>\n
