Great Roaster if You Watch a YouTube Video!
The instructions that come with this as well as the manufacturer's website TRULY lack. That being said, it is a breeze to use after watching a simple 7 minute youtube video. If you've roasted before, you don't need to read or view any instructions. Be carful with the black plastic parts of the canister lid. With the temp and age, they are prone to chip around the edges. Won't effect use, but will look a little aged. Measure out the right amount. Set for high fan and low heat. Max minutes. For the first 2 minutes of roasting, take the canister off the roaster and shake every 30 seconds to avoid scorching the beans. Stop doing this once you hear first crack as it will no longer be needed. Turn the air down to medium and temp to medium. From there it depends on the roast you are going for and the beans you purchased. I like a City+ roast (roughly just before bold) so my total time is about 12 minutes. Good rule of thumb is "if it looks like good coffee, it is good coffee." In other words, if it looks like the beans you buy and love, well then.... there you go! If you are wanting a less-than-bold roast, as soon as you hear the second crack (will sound like rice crispies and beans turning the dark brown), turn the temp immeidately to cool. The machine will shut itself off when done. Black plastic will still be a little hot, so don't drop it when you pick it up. It will shatter and explode if you do. As far as cleaning the chaff inside the top lid, do so gently. Discoloration won't hurt anything, so no need to scrub. All you are looking for in cleaning is that none of the breather holes in the lid are blocked, and there is no residue buildup. So you can just blow the chaff out and if cool, use a dry dish brush gently. I've never wet-washed my lid just to avoid wearing out anything faster than normal use will. As for the roaster, it is perfect in roasting capacity for about 6 cus a day if you roast a single batch every other day (or just roast several back to back in same day). A couple other suggestions. Let your beans sit out for 24 hours on a tray or bowl for them to degas. Then put them in a bag with a output valve like you see on store-bought coffee. This allows further degassing without air getting in. No need really to go out and buy a container or bags. Just use one of your empty ones till it is clearly worn out. My final suggestion is to let your beans sit in the bag for 4 days before drinking for maximum characteristics. If you have it the same or next day, it will be fine and not harm you. You just get the best of the bean after 4 days (and usually before 30 days). After you've roasted twice, you'll laugh at how easy it is. I had a couple espresso carts in Seattle but always purchased roasted beans. If you want some suggestions on easy and fantastic cold brew, the best frother, and the best espresso/coffee machine for home use, drop me a note. i've been through several of each, and while there is always better, I have finally ended up with equipment I will re-purchase when any of these die. If you are going to Seattle, drop me a mesage and I'll point you to my list of reviews of all the non-chain coffee shops on Yelp. That and buffets and cigar shops in Vegas.

Roast your own?
It's not all that difficult and results in coffee taste that is rarely equaled. If you experiment with the temperature and fan speeds you can achieve a signature taste. This is the tool to achieve that and doesn't cost the price of a really nice engagement ring and says 'love' everyday. With 12+ years experience and 4 different kinds of roasters, the foregoing are words of experience. Thanks for reading and Happy Roasting!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Almost too fast roaster
This is a pretty simply but versitile roaster. You roast very quickly if you like, but if you prefer your roasts to be 15 min. it takes a little work. My biggest complaint is that the fan isn't strong enough to circulate the beans for the first minute or so. You can fix this by using a spoon of turning it from heat to cool to keep from scorching any beans.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Best money ever spent!
I love this roaster. Easy to use, easy to clean. I use it right by my range hood and turn on the exhaust and it doesn't set off my fire alarms. I really love home roasted coffee. You get to drink the best coffees in the world and save money doing it. And I think it's fun. Really I love it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This is a nice, simple, easy to use machine that toasts great coffee
I am now enjoying freshly roasted, locally grown, coffee. A huge improvement over the last bag of coffee I bought at the supermarket. Golforca has been very patient with some errors I made in ordering and I would recommend this seller. I am experimenting with times and temperatures to get the roast how I like, a fuller roast getting into the second crack. I fully recommend that people try varying the roast to find out their favourite roast. Try with different fan speeds and heat settings. A couple of tips. Always check through your beans before roasting, there may be small stones lurking that can hurt your grinder and there may be some rubbish in there. After the cooling cycle ends the top can still be very hot, I have measured 100C+ in places, so please use oven gloves or dry cloth to remove it. When grinding coffee add 1 cm or so of Cinnamon or some seeds, out of the pods, of Cardamom to give delicious flavours to your brew.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Almost new
The unit functions great. Add stated unit is new. Unit has been used or tested previously, as it is impossible to get dust from coffee roasting completely cleaned. As stated, unit looks and functions great but I would have have definitely negotiated for a lower price if I had known.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

User-friendly roaster!
I bought this roaster to replace an older model that had recently failed. With this updated model, the roasting time, fan speed and heat settings are user-controllable to dial in the perfect roast level. While the default settings will roast a batch (4 scoops - coffee scoop included) well, I prefer a somewhat darker roast, so using the up and down arrow buttons, I can increase the roasting time slightly for my taste. The chaff basket is easy to clean; simply remove the lid, dump the chaff and use a brush to remove any remaining debris, no water needed. I comparison-shopped and found this to be the best price for this model. User-friendly, great value for the money, highly recommended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Small batch roasting
Excellent for small batch roasting. Allows control of heat, airflow and timeing. Requires some skill and attendence, not designed to push button and forget operation. I found starting roast at low heat, raising temp through the middle and finishing at lower temp yields even roasting and better controll of roast...read and follow instructions! Very easy and fun to useVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great product! Roast really fast too.
I recently purchased the Fresh Roast SR 500 because my other roaster stopped working on me after a few months of having it. So far I love this roaster way better than my other one. It’s super fast and I love that you can hear the coffee beans crack while roasting.

I am new to roasting
Looked at all the different kinds of bean roaster. And decided to go with the sr800. I am not disappointed at all. Plenty of how to videos. First roast I did, did not go good. But since then, we got the concept down and its happy roasting. I like it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
