    A large viewing window lets you visually track your roast, while the sample extractor provides an easy way to check the beans’ progress. Built-in protections, like overheating safeguards and fan blockage detection, enhance safety and reliability. The efficient cooling tray and replaceable radial fan make post-roast handling and maintenance straightforward.

    Frequent Questions

    Does the Bullet R1 produce smoke?

    Yes, it does. The amount of smoke depends on two key factors: the quantity of coffee you’re roasting and how dark you’re roasting it. For example, a 500g batch of lightly roasted coffee will produce significantly less smoke than a 1kg batch taken past the second crack. If you’re planning on darker roasts or larger batches, it’s essential to have proper ventilation to direct the smoke outside or consider using an air cleaner to keep your space smoke-free.

    How long does the Bullet R1 need to cool between roasts?

    The Bullet R1 doesn’t need to cool down between roasts. In fact, it’s designed for back-to-back roasting, allowing you to start a new batch while the previous one is cooling. This feature makes it perfect for efficient, continuous roasting sessions. For detailed guidance, be sure to check out the user manual.

    What software does the R1 use?

    The Bullet R1 uses RoasTime, Allio's custom software designed to enhance your roasting experience. It provides data-driven insights to help you understand and improve your roasts, unlocks automated “Recipe” modes, and lets you share and explore roast profiles with other users.

    RoasTime also keeps your firmware updated and uploads debugging data to our servers. This ensures quick troubleshooting and helps our support team resolve issues efficiently, making it an invaluable tool for perfecting your coffee roasting.

    What is the difference between V1 and V2?

    The main differences between the v1 and v2 Bullet R1 models are the upgrades in technology. Version 2 features an improved induction board for enhanced performance and includes the innovative infrared bean temperature sensor (IBTS), which provides greater accuracy and consistency during roasting.

    Are there any additional fees?

    No, there are no extra fees. We ship Aillio roasters directly from the UK, so there are no customs, duty, or handling charges. Shipping and VAT are included in the price you see – no hidden costs or surprises.

    Who is the Aillio Bullet R1 for?

    The Bullet R1 is designed for professional roasters starting out, small businesses, training labs, and those who need an affordable, compact, and highly controllable drum roaster. It’s perfect for small-batch production, profile development, and learning the craft before scaling up.

    What is the ideal batch size for the Aillio Bullet R1?

    “Ideal” batch size depends on your needs. The Bullet’s Infrared Bean Temperature Sensor (IBTS) provides reliable data for batches between 200g and 1kg, and it can easily handle 1kg while reaching first crack in a reasonable time. The right size for you depends on how much coffee you need and how much control you want over your roast. While you can push a 1kg batch through in under 10 minutes at full power, this may limit your creativity—one reason why some users prefer 800g batches.

    Where to find Aillio Bullet roast profiles?

    Roast profiles are available on the Aillio forum at RoastWorks - for example the forum chain 'Can you suggest roast profiles to get the perfect light/medium roast?'. For tips and insights, check out our blog, ‘How to Master Roasting on an Aillio Bullet’, where we cover the basics to help you get started.

    How long should a Bullet R1 cool between each roast?

    The Bullet doesn’t need to cool between roasts, so you can roast back-to-back. This gives you the ability to start a new batch while the previous one cools, keeping your workflow smooth and efficient.

    Can I use the Bullet R1 with Cropster or Artisan?

    No, the Bullet R1 is designed to work exclusively with RoasTime and Roast.World. These platforms provide detailed roast tracking and analysis, helping you refine and improve your roasting.

    The RoasTime software automatically records your roasts, allowing you to track, refine, and replicate your profiles. You also get access to Roast.World, a global community where roasters share profiles, recipes, and best practices.
