Kaleido Sniper M2 / M6

A touchscreen-controlled fluid-bed roaster line that brings drum-roaster-level profiling and data logging (Artisan-compatible) to hot-air roasting. Sits in the same price and seriousness tier as the Bullet above, the real decision between them is drum vs. air character, not build quality. The line also includes a smaller M1 (50–200g, roughly $1,400–$1,600) and a larger M10 (up to 1.2kg, roughly $2,700–$3,200) for different batch needs.

Buy This If

You want drum-roaster-level profiling and data logging, but prefer hot-air roast character over drum
You want Artisan-compatible logging in a touchscreen-controlled package
The 400g–700g range across M2/M6 fits your batch needs, or you need a smaller M1 or larger M10 from the same line

Consider Something Else If

You specifically want drum roast character, that’s a real flavor difference, not just a spec, see the Aillio Bullet R1 instead
You want the most established brand in this tier, Kaleido is newer to the market than Aillio
