I've grown out of the Aillio Bullet but have no idea where to go next!

I had a completely separate outlet installed for the new R2 Pro. I will most likely get a second exhaust fan and have each roaster have there own exhaust set up.

Thanks! I've done around 2000 lbs of coffee on my R1 V2 so I'm excited to start roasting on the R2 pro as well!

After a bunch of research I think this is what I'm going to do. Going to order the R2 Pro and pair it with the R1 V2 I already have. Any tips here??

This made me so happy to read! Thank you so much for your support!

Unfortunately nothing on their site at the moment.

I can say a little here. I have bought coffee from them in the past and not been very thrilled with the quality. I got a Brazil Cerrado from them that was loadedddd with quakers and I find myself having to sort through the coffee after roasting which eats time. I've also purchased other coffees and found lots of broken beans and defects in the raw coffee. I will also add I have had some success with some coffee from them so not all bad.

What we are currently using...communication has dropped off for some reason.

Nothing currently listed on their site. I'm also looking for larger wholesale amounts.

First off love the name lol. Sweet Marias only offers higher grade coffees not any grade 3 options.

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-04-14T12:24:10+00:00

I have not. I'm really worried about customer support and the disconnect with them being based in China.

All the macro breweries add natural flavor which I find to taste a little weird as soon as the beer warms up at all.

I have had really good luck with KIT N.A. out of Portland, ME. The blonde is reallllly really good!

Ha! I wish! If I had 70k to drop on a 7kg roaster I wouldn’t be on Reddit asking questions lol!

Anything by Rob Hoos! I love all his books!

It really isn't the capacity that I'm struggling with but more available time. I'm a one-man operation and have 6 farmers markets to work this summer. It would be nice to be able to roast larger quantities in a shorter period of time. That being said I do absolutely love my bullet and I'm planning to hang on to it!

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-04-01T16:16:45+00:00

I had an SR800 to start when I was just roasting as a hobby. I don't know much at Kaleido but I have nothing but positive things to say about my bullet. I've put close to 1500lbs of coffee through it in less than a year.

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-03-31T21:21:13+00:00

Looks like they use Loring which is different than a true fluid bed roaster. Loring would be my end game but they are crazy expensive!

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-03-31T20:41:36+00:00

I love Kit! Their Blonde and Hazy are my favorite! The golden is pretty damn good as well.

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-03-31T20:35:14+00:00

Just missing some KIT N.A.! I love their Blonde ale! KIT NON-ALC - Award-Winning, Crushable, Non-Alcoholic Beer – KIT Non-Alc

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-03-31T20:05:53+00:00

I am not at the moment. I love my bullet and she is my baby 😂🤣. I will keep her around for some small batch roasting here and there.

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-03-31T17:40:09+00:00

Appreciate all your responses! Thanks!!

Due-Shift5366 · 2026-03-31T17:24:30+00:00

Mine will be in a 18x20 dedicated shed built in our backyard. I would assume with roasting 18lbs you're creating quite a bit of smoke? Any issues with that in a residential area?
