Roasting profiles for Aillio Bullet R1 V2
Below you will find some profiles that our friends, die Kaffeemacher from Basel, have developed specifically for the Aillio Bullet R1 V2. You can start with these profiles and then develop them further according to your taste and for your coffee.
Aillio Bullet R1 V2 is a state-of-the-art 1kg drum roaster. The machine is powerful yet very compact. The induction heating allows for very fine adjustments, making very precise roasting profiles possible. In the Aillio Bullet, the temperature is measured by the innovative IBTS (Infrared Bean Temperature Sensor) as well as by a classic bean temperature probe. The two temperatures differ significantly, so you should always pay attention to which of the two temperatures you are looking at. The drum speed, fan and heating element can be adjusted separately in 10 steps each.
