The SR800 is the newest addition to the SR Series of green Coffee Roasters from Home Roasting Supplies. Must register your machine on https://homeroastingsupplies.com/sr800. Our customers wanted an affordable 1/2 pound roaster and the new SR800 is the answer.
With a roast capacity of 8oz./ 226 Grams of wet-processed beans. For best results with dry processed beans reduce the roasting amount to 6oz/ 170 Grams. Dry processed beans create more chaff than wet-processed. The roaster features a new heavy-duty high capacity fan and heater. It has an improved control board. All adjustments are made with pushing the knob and turning to adjust the heat, fan, and time.
It also features a real-time temperature readout. A quick turn of the knob to the right will display the current temperature. There are now 9 levels of heat adjustment compared to having a Low, Medium, and High adjustment. The fan also has a wider range of adjustment.
The chaff basket and top lid from earlier SR roasters will not fit on the new SR800 or SR540. The roasting chamber is a much larger diameter. Users are also able to change the default start settings. This roaster is not computer controlled. The Fresh Roast SR800 can roast a minimum of 4oz of beans. It is a manually controlled machine.
The SR800 is not certified to be sold or shipped into Canada at this time.
All roasters are 120V.

I meant to do 5 stars and clicked 4...oops! We love this roaster SO much! Also the Coffee Bean Corral folk are fantastic and will answer any questions you may have. I only wish the roaster was bigger but honestly, I think we drink an absurd amount of coffee anyway so it’s still perfect :)
We are roasting so many beans with this bad boy, it’s great! Coffee Bean Corral is the best, before shipping this they called me to talk about the different options and make sure I was familiar with roasting. It was SO nice!

Still getting the hang of it but seems to work great. Fast, compact, fairly easy to use. Great starter roaster for sure.

Just moved up from popcorn popper to the SR800! Very easy to setup and learn, first batch was a perfect roast, good for anyone looking to roast 1/2 pound batch size.

I finally stepped up from a modified popper to the SR800 and am elated to be able to finely tune my roasts with the variable heat and fan speeds. It’s fast and accurate but still affords needs the pleasure of being interestingly involved in roasting process. I’m getting some better coffee in the cup than buying from commercial roasters. I joined a Face Book group that allows Fresh Roast users to compare notes, experiences, and suggestions. Very helpful! Thanks CBC, for the good machine at a good price, speedy delivery, and gift certificate.

Needed a machine to replace my old (12yr old) one that could give me a good dark roast. This one does a good job, plus handles a larger load.

Operates much easier than the 500. Still run a temperature probe through a hole in middle that I drilled out to monitor the temperature but I do like the machine

Just over two weeks in with this one and I'm loving it! I started roasting coffee when I worked at a small local coffee shop that got a 1lb fluid air bed roaster. After I moved on to other jobs with more regular schedules I started using a bread machine/heat gun to roast for a little while but it was hard to achieve consistency and it was annoying having to roast outside, especially during Southern summers! Finally decided to try a Fresh Roast, and settled on the SR800 without much trouble. Ordered it on Monday and Thursday it arrived around 7pm. 7:30pm I was wrapping up my first roast! I'd watched a couple of videos to learn how to use it, but so much of what I learned all those years ago came right back and I've been able to achieve the roast levels I'm looking for every time. Did set off the smoke detectors one time so... If you're going for Full City roasts make sure to keep that stove hood on high or roast someplace more open-air than your kitchen! Also can't complain one bit about the 5 half pound samples of beans and the $15 gift certificate they include with this machine. I mean, that's like getting a $30 discount over the list price of the roaster. Best deal I've seen around! Is the roaster perfect? No, of course not. I'd love if it had a dedicated temperature display so you don't have to swap back and forth between the fan/power setting an the temperature view. Also don't get a whole lot of bean movement with larger roasts if you drop the fan speed down any. There is a third party making aftermarket roast chambers for this which are tall and narrow--allowing for larger batches and reportedly giving better bean movement with the airflow this unit puts out. Do you need it to make some great roasts? Nope. I'm quite happy with what I've achieved so far with this.

Very capable roaster. The capacity is very nice. There are some very useful modifications that can be purchased or made to make it even better.
