SR800 Coffee Roaster

The object

SR800 gives home roasting a visible chamber and manual control over heat, fan, and time. The maker specifies nine heat levels and a live temperature display accessed through the control knob. Its US 120 V format suits someone who wants to observe and adjust a small roast directly.

Batch limits depend on the coffee: the manufacturer specifies up to 8 oz of wet-processed coffee or 6 oz of dry-processed coffee because of the greater chaff load, with a 4 oz minimum. Choose it for a modest-batch routine rather than computer-controlled profiling, and use the manufacturer’s capacity and cleaning instructions.
