SR800 Automatic Coffee Bean Roaster – Roast Coffee At Home

A very fun, quick and easy to use air (fluid bed) coffee roaster!

The Fresh Roast SR800 is the larger brother to the SR540 home coffee roaster. Following the new generation of Fresh Roast home coffee roasters, it is similar in operation and looks to the 540, but with a higher capacity (6-8 ounce), a stronger fan, and a taller roast chamber.

Roast capacity is 6-8 ounces, nearly double the SR540.  Please Note: for high chaff or natural coffees, batch size MUST be reduced to 6 ounces or less.

This new Fresh Roast model has an improved control panel. There are now nine levels of heat adjustment compared to the previously limited Low, Medium, and High settings.  The fan also has nine levels of adjustment.  All adjustments are made by pressing the knob and turning to change heat, fan, and time settings.  It also features a new real-time air temperature measurement.  A quick turn of the knob to the right will display current temperature.

PLEASE NOTE: Chaff basket and top lid from earlier SR models will not fit on the new SR800.  The roasting chamber is a much larger diameter.
