BestBunsInTown_Home roasting tips?
phrogpilot73I have the SR-500 with the extension tube, and I wouldn’t even consider a Fresh Roast roaster without it. I got my extension tube 2 years after I bought it, and the uniformity of roasts has improved dramatically.
As for beans, I’ve used Coffee Bean Corral, Blue Mackaw Coffee Roasters (they sell on eBay), Home Roast Coffee, Sweet Maria’s and Amazon.
How much do you roast with the 500 reasonably?
Without the extension tube, I could roast 4 oz at a time. With the extension tube, I can do up to 8 oz at a time. However, I’ve found 7 oz or less leads to a more uniform roast.
Will definitely checkout the 540 with extension tube then!
