Home roasting tips?
I’ve been thinking about getting into home roasting, anyone got any tips of first roasters and places to check out for green beans? I was thinking a SR800 with extension tube from sweet Maria’s and the green coffee there as well but love to hear other thoughts!
You're viewing a single thread.
I have the SR-500 with the extension tube, and I wouldn't even consider a Fresh Roast roaster without it. I got my extension tube 2 years after I bought it, and the uniformity of roasts has improved dramatically.
As for beans, I've used Coffee Bean Corral, Blue Mackaw Coffee Roasters (they sell on eBay), Home Roast Coffee, Sweet Maria's and Amazon.
How much do you roast with the 500 reasonably?
Without the extension tube, I could roast 4 oz at a time. With the extension tube, I can do up to 8 oz at a time. However, I've found 7 oz or less leads to a more uniform roast.
Will definitely checkout the 540 with extension tube then!
