- This is a video for those who own a Bullet and are wondering about maintenance etc ...It's a look at some of the Bullet R1's internals, how to remove the rear panels, adjust the belt tension, and what tools to have on hand. There were minor differences between the roasters that we received in the past two shipments from Aillio. He opened up two roasters to show these differences.
If you have comments on the video, please let us know if you have first-hand experience with the Bullet or not.
The Bullet in this video is version 1/1.5. There are minor differences between this and the current model. Please refer to our website for up-to-date info on the Aillio Bullet.

Honestly, Thank you for the various videos guiding folks with the R1. I have mechanical knowledge, but with a new tool altogether - like the roaster - it's nice to be able to watch a video of taking apart, identifying pieces, and explaining various things. And, I love the roaster, thanks for selling me one!
Thanks for this video I was interested to see the innards and now I have a better understanding. So it’s quite simple. Cool. Not too many moving parts
It's great that you guys carry this roaster. It is even better that you are teaching owners how to properly troubleshoot and take care of the roaster. It is a great roaster, but not without it's quarks. I just hope that owners don't run at the first sight of a issue, which is likely just a very small fix. Or more likely something that would not have even come up with traditional routine maintenance. Any possibly that they will come out with an aftermarket bean deflector?
I think they were having a bit of a contest on the Aillio site to design one, something 3D printable like the exhaust port downloads they have on their site now. But I don't see anything was published on that.
@@SweetMariasCoffee With all of the improvements: ie . the air duct adapter to flex hose, the bean chute deflector, the IR sensors, the Roast software beta roll outs and pushes, the squirrel cage fan retrofits, the PCM control board versions, tool kit with torx, allen hex drivers, etcetera These additions are part of the cooks essential tool kit. I affectionately as others Aillio files refer to our R1 Bullet as a pet PIG! The Bullet gets their seasoned flavor over time. Like any food smoking process involving the caramelization and the Maillard reaction this oxidization produces Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide and Hydro Carbon exhaust. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction . The cook cannot and should not ignore the need for appropriate roaster monitoring and vigilant parchment and chaff disposal after each and every roast!!
The back to back roasting is a great production. The PCM should have a fail safe lockout that mandates the chaffe box is dumped between reheats.
All in all another amazing Danish marvel. This is why roasting coffee in not a simple art. Roasting coffee is a way of life.
One further thought. After reading and recalling sales people's advice. I want to stress the kitchen roasting process requires a high CFM (cubic feet per minute) high volume exhaust fan to vent out the smoke and waste heat. The Bullet roaster produces hot and high amounts of exhaust. The R1 has is no: exhaust scrubber, filter, or catalytic converter in the R1 Bullet system.
The Behmor 1600 has a catalytic converter.
Safety is paramount so the machine needs warning labels as well ! Hot! Do not use indoors without proper ventilation, Unplug before disassembly. Operator should keep children a safe distance away, and disassembly is required to properly clean. My favorite is : Warranty is never voided if owner disassembles. Lifetime warranty!
Thanks for reviewing and demonstrating... I've had the same issue... at minute 4:30 when you try to take that part out, the screw dropped inside and you couldn't get it out but you said don't worry you can get it when you take it apart.. but imagine putting that part back and the screw falls off... Especially if you've done all the screws and the last one dropped... This machine is not for everyone it is a high maintenance.. I really don't recommend it unless if someone likes challenges. So the belt getting loose is a common issue my machine was not a defect one... A common issue and they made just taking the cover off, putin it back is so difficult you need to play a game with the screws to put them back.... Just not a smart thinking.
Great Video!
Totally see it like you.
It needs some basic Mechanic-Skills
If the drum is making a grinding/scraping noise while roasting, how can I try to fix that?
Hey there, please reach out to bulletsupport [at] sweetmarias [dot] com with more details. We'll try to help you out!
Thank yu for the video its a great help. Beloow the driven pulley there is a fan. What is the use of that fan. How to replace it
Great question. That fan is part of the cooling for the induction electronics. It sucks air from under the roaster.
