If you can sit still for 25 minutes during each roast, using a Behmor is mostly about paying a bit of attention during the roast, taking notes so you know what you did last time and paying attention to flavors so you learn how far and which button makes better tasting coffee. While I had nothing to do with the Behmor, from all appearances it was designed to be used like: Weigh out some beans and put them in the drum. Assemble the drum and chaff tray into the roaster, press the appropriate buttons and read a book while it roasts the coffee for you. Read because it's quiet and you're more likely to be aware of the noises it's making in case you need to press Cool before the end of the roast. In reality you probably shouldn't use it like that and you'll never see that written down, but it just seems that that was the thought in the back of the designers mind. If you don't have the self control to stay near the roaster for the 20 minutes till the roast finishes, it's not for you, but if you can do that, it's easy to get started.
