Aillio Bullet R1

A genuine drum roaster with app-based logging, programmable profiles, and enough repeatability that many small commercial roasters started on exactly this machine before scaling up. The most expensive item in this tier by a wide margin, and worth it if you're roasting weekly.

Buy This If

You’re roasting weekly and want genuine drum-roaster repeatability
You want app-based logging and programmable profiles at the top of the home tier
You might scale toward small commercial roasting eventually, this is a common first machine for that path

Consider Something Else If

You roast occasionally, this is the most expensive item in its tier by a wide margin and that cost is hard to justify below weekly use
You want hot-air character instead of drum, see the Kaleido Sniper M2/M6 instead
