We just got the official extension tubes for the SR 540 and SR 800. They make a huge difference, turn these little machines into awesome sample roasters. Really unlock your roasting on the newer FreshRoast SR line of machines.
What a difference..using that extension tube!! Nice!
I have never seen the temperature indicator on mine and do not know how to get access to it. Also I have to turn the time knob down to go to cool mode. My machine is only 9 months old. Bought August 2023. Your right about it being tippy. The chaff catcher is overly heavy and with the extension tube will be especially tippy. The unit has potential with some redesign ideas I am working on. My old "Poppery II" has worked for many years but wish it could roast more than 4 oz at a time and had a timer.
Thanks! great video. i just got the SR800, without the extension tube. Just watching your vid, I see how to operate the controls.
Very good job of explaining the process.
I love mine. But I do decaf and the profile is quite different, it will bolt from too much heat. No chaff so I can do 3/4 of a pound easy
Yessssss! that's my setup as well. Love it so much
Does it improve consistency?
So it’s okay to keep it on high heat and you can get a decent fully city plus or medium to high roast? I always go over like 16-17% loss.
Just ordered Fresh Roast SR 800 wondering if I should have ordered the extension tube with it! I haven’t received the SR 800 yet guess I’ll have to check it out and see ?
turns out the tube is a big deal, hope you got one or a Razzo
What was you temperature near the end of the roast? I see that it was headed in the low 500°F, but if you want to get to second crack, what temperature should you be looking for if you are roasting natural beans?
When will the extension tubes be available? Thanks!
Is there a easy to follow roast profile for darker roast by heat / fan and time..
How much can you roast back-to-back in one day w/o damaging the unit?
Why not just keep the fan on high? Wouldn’t that be ok for the roast?
Since the total amount of beans loaded is much more than usual, does it has any impact on the reliability of the heating systems?
No. FreshRoast says the issue is chaff and clogging and fire, not the amount of beans. I do decaf which has no chaff so I can do 3/4 lb at a time, could probably do more but don't need to
Where can I buy the roaster with the extension tube?
how much smoke does it generate? could it be used indoors under a fume hood collector?
not too much smoke, but by the end, it would make the whole room smell very coffee-ish. perhaps with a hood, it will mitigate this. of course, you can just roast outside and avoid the coffee smell inside.
The areas still smells like a roastery even with a half-decent fan.
Thanks, I can't roast outside in winter, so I ended up with the gene roaster which can be hooked up to a 3" duct.
Doesn’t work to good even under a hood, i roast with mine outdoors all winter long with no issues. Just adjust your heat as needed. It’s definitely operates diff with the cooler temps.
Time to first crack at 6 minutes is not long enough unless you are going to roast to second crack.
Can I use this machines near a window in my apartment?
I wouldn't without a fan to blow the smoke out.
great video
I looked at a bunch of videos of this machine. I don't think it's well designed. The beans jumping up, that's the beans not being circulated evenly. A proper fluidized bed circulation would involve some constant even motion churning over the beans. I've seen several videos of diy/high end fluidized bed roasters doing exactly that. None of them aims for the jumping beans effect...
Well you would be wrong. For the cost and where it is in the market, it is well worth it. There are almost no decent roasters in this price range and for home roasting it works great. Those are hopping because he has the fan cranked, you can adjust to get movement without it hopping so much. Either way the evenness of the roast tells you what you need to know. But doesn't meet your standards so up your budget and have fun!
The machine works very well you, just need to adjust the settings based on your own observations and roast preference. I get easy light roasts with this machine that I can't get with my drum roaster. So for this machine I roast light to medium and the drum roaster is good for medium to dark. For less than $300 not sure you can find a better roaster.
The fan seems to be too strong, the chaff collector could have collected many beans I supposed
You could be correct. Obviously,n lowering the fin speed after first crack will help speed the roast towards 2nd crack..if you're going that far.
I did not get beans in the chaff collector until I ran a second cool cycle--it does not cool as fast with the tube.
@@CarolBLow try using external table fan or any fan to quickly cool down the beans. The fluid bed roaster typically not design for cooling the beans fast enough
@@CarolBLow take the chaff collector off the last minute before you cool to ramp down. I roast just a hair under so it finishes as it cools
Pengen banget punyanya kayak gt
