FreshRoast SR500 (4.6oz) Home Coffee Roaster + 1-lb Free Green Coffee

Description

This is the new, improved model of our favorite little workhorse, the FreshRoast 8, the most popular home coffee roaster with over 60,000 units sold worldwide. It is sturdier and has twice the capacity of its predecessor. This roaster will generate about 4oz of roasted coffee, which using our recommended coffee to water ratio comes out to 72oz of coffee (or 12 6-oz cups). It is more versatile that its little brother the SR300, but not as sophisticated as the I-Roast2, which, alas, has been discontinued. With the SR500 you can vary the length of the roast time, the temperature of the roast (low, middle, high) and the fan speed (a turning knob). We recommend 7 minutes to get a medium roast. Make sure you understand the impact of changing fan speed and temperature before you find your "comfort zone". Because of the ability to control fan speed (i.e. bean agitation) and roast temperature you will be able to roast smaller batches, and get darker roasts. Most of the times, more capabilities is a good thing. We tried smaller batches (less than two scoops), but found the best results with 120 grams of green coffee (about two scoops), as recommended by the manufacturer. Warranty and Repair Info: This roaster is covered with a one-year limited warranty by the manufacturer, This unit will make a great gift, at a very reasonable price, for the coffee aficionado or for that special person that "has everything". Free Coffee Samples: Along with your roaster, we will include two complimentary samples (half pound each, one pound total) of excellent, farm-direct, 100% Arabica Bolivian and Colombian green coffee beans to let you start roasting as soon as you open the box! You will receive samples of our (A) and (AA) grade coffee beans. If you prefer (custom regulations, lower shipment costs, etc.), we can also ship the roaster without any coffee beans. Just let us know.
