Fresh Roasted Coffee
Why roast your own gourmet coffee at home? Roasted coffee has a freshness, the fascination of the process, and saves money. Roasted coffee starts to lose its volatile aromatic oils 3 days after roasting. Even when packed in barrier packaging, fresh roasted coffee is a perishable product, and you never know how old roasted coffee is when you buy it in a store. Besides freshness, roasting your own specialty coffee saves money. Quality green beans sell for about half the price of specialty roasted coffee. Home roasting is easy, fun, and involving. It takes about 10 minutes from start to finish.
The Fresh Roast SR800 is an 8 ounce version of the Fresh Roast SR540, so you can roast enough coffee for 40 cups in one batch with wet processed beans. With dry processed beans, which produce more chaff, it can roast 6 ounces per run. The roast time can be extended by pressing the up buttons, shortened by pressing the down buttons, and ended by pressing the cool button, which starts a 4 minute cooling cycle. In addition, a fan speed control knob and 9 heat level adjustments are also available, valuable tools for the advanced roaster who wants to tailor their roast to perfection. It is 15" tall, and 8" wide.
Voltage: You must have 15 amps available at the plug where you plug in your Fresh roast SR800 for it to do a good job. It burns 1600 watts when running, and if you have an older house with only a 15 am circuit, you need to make sure nothing else is on the circuit when the Fresh Roast is running. If you plug it into a 15 amp circuit that also has other appliances drawing from it, you coffee will not roast. Of course, this is less of a problem in newer houses with 20amp circuits, as even if a small appliance is plugged in and running, you still will probably have 15 amps to draw from and run the roaster. You will know if you do not have 15 amps available if the roaster runs but does not get the beans very dark. Try switching to another outlet (on another circuit) to test this.
This machine is simple and works well. A one year manufacturers warranty is included.

Q: Are any of the green coffee beans you provide organic?
A: Yes some are, but when we package them in 2 lb bags, we do not label them as organic, as we do not have the needed permits.

Q: Can you roast French Roast in the SR800? I read the unit for $479 does not do French Roast.
A: If by French roast you mean a dark roast the answer is yes. The SR800 is fully adjustable for time, heat and fan speed. I have one and that is the way I like mine roasted.

SR800 Roaster
For a home roaster it doesn't get any better than the Fresh Roast SR800
As advertised
This roaster is exactly as advertised and provides a means of roasting beans to our personal preferences. I would recommended this product if someone would like to venture into roasting and add a little flare to their coffee experience.
EZ to use
I'd give it a 5 star but this thing definitely needs the addon extension tube. I got mine from another source and it turbo charges the drying process of this unit. It helps to take notes on the level of roast you want to achieve and follow along as the time and process moves along. I moved my roasting to the garage for less mess in the house and setting off smoker detectors. There's no comparison with fresh roasted coffee. I wish I got mine years ago when checking them out here at Williams Brewing.
SR800 works great
This is a great coffee roaster to get started on. I highly suggest buying the extension tube to get started on as well if available. Easy enough to use and experiment with. There are a LOT of videos on youtube for advice and roasting tips. We've been enjoying the roaster and the coffee samples that came with it. Highly recommend this product and home roasting of coffee! Be careful as it can lead up to an obsessive new hobby!
SR800
I don't know why I waited so long to buy this roaster. It is a fantastic product! Roasting fresh coffee in the house is an aroma experience each time. An 8oz batch holds me over for about 4 days. Always looking forward to the next roasting session. I did purchase the Extension Tube which makes the roaster even more efficient. I doubt you can find a better roaster for the price. Coffee is my other beer!
