The Bullet R2 Pro is Aillio's most powerful roaster and the point where roasting stops being a hobby and starts being a small production run. It takes 1.2kg a batch on 2300W of induction heat, reaches first crack in under seven minutes at full capacity, and holds power delivery to within half a percent, so the roast you dialled in last week is the roast you get today.

Induction heats the drum itself rather than the air around it, which is why the R2 Pro runs batch after batch without the drift you get from gas or element roasters. The IBTS infrared sensor reads the bean surface directly while a separate probe reads the bean mass, so you are working from what the coffee is actually doing rather than what the drum wall suggests. FlowSense monitors airflow and adjusts the exhaust fan to hold it steady as the chaff builds.

Every roast is recorded in RoasTime 4 and can be replayed automatically, shared to Roast.World, or handed to someone else to run. For a cafe bringing roasting in house, that repeatability is the difference between a house blend and a lottery. The Pro sits above the standard R2, which runs 1700W, ten power stages and a 1kg drum. If you are roasting to sell, the Pro is the one worth having.

Power and installation, worth reading before you order

Aillio specifies 12A at 230V. A standard Australian power point is rated to 10A, so the R2 Pro should be run from a 15A outlet on a dedicated circuit. This is the single thing people most often miss when they buy a roaster this size online, and it is far cheaper to sort out before the machine arrives than after. Call us on 1300 660 118 and we will work out what you need.
