I want to share my Aillio Bullet Coffee Roaster First Impressions & Roast with you. I've roasted coffee on quite a few drum and air roasters in my time but have never had the opportunity to experience the very popular home coffee roaster made by Aillio. In my video I highlight the roasters unique features and roast some coffee. I talk about the things I like and don't like about the Bullet coffee roaster. I use "Roastime", Aillio's logging software to control the Bullet and roast a nice Guatemala Huehuetenango Waykan coffee to a medium roast.
If you are a bullet owner, share your experiences and what you thought of my "first impressions" video. This was not an exhaustive review and there are features I didn't cover including the "Autoplay" feature.
