Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am really impressed with this green coffee bean roaster.I've used a FreshRoast Plus 8 roaster for several years, and it's given excellent service.In fact, my Plus 8 still works, but after hundreds of batches of roasted beans, the base has cracked from the heat, I've broken part of the handle on the top chamber by dropping it, and the carafe tends to get stuck in the base.I can tell, one of these days, my Plus 8, warhorse that it's been, is going to give up the ghost and leave me stranded.So I decided to relegate the Plus 8 to backup status and try the new entry-level model from FreshRoast, the SR-300.
Great decision!The SR-300 fixes everybody's two main annoyances with the Plus 8. The Plus 8 could only roast two large scoops of green beans about once every 45 minutes or so (when you include the time the roaster needs to cool down between batches, recommended for long life of the roaster). The roasting capacity of the SR-300 is double that, four large scoops at a time. And where the old model had a very imprecise dial timer switch that could easily be off by a critical minute or two in length of successive batches, the SR-300 uses a digital timer and gives much more consistent roasting results.The SR-300 maintains the advantages of the Plus 8, including effective chaff removal, couldn't-be-easier cleanup after use, and the ability to hear first crack and second crack as the beans roast, which permits operator fine tuning.
The only thing I don't like is that the SR-300 is even "tippier" (less stable) than the Plus 8 when being carried assembled.It would be very easy to tilt it a bit to one side, lose control of it, and drop and break the carafe.
Get this and a coffee bean grinder, an inexpensive French press coffee pot, a good source of green beans (easy to find on the web if you have no local sources), and you will blow away, like so much chaff, those months-old cans of supermarket coffee in quality and those overpriced coffee chains in value (and maybe quality as well).

Product Description:
The long awaited new model coffee roaster from Freshbeans has arrived in our warehouse. There are actually 2 models. Both models have double the capacity of the Freshroast Plus 8 model- up to 120 grams or or about a quarter of a pound per roast cycle. Some other design improvements include a digital timer, a better chaff collecting basket, and the roasting jar has an improved base that will not overheat with dark roasts, which caused problems with warping in the previous model. The SR series roasters are quiet so you can hear the crackling of the beans, and the small chamber and fan make this one of the more energy efficient coffee roasters on the market.The SR300 is a basic, no frills roaster which is a great for beginners roaster with a preset temperature setting and an adjustable digital timer. The maximum time to set the timer is 9.9 minutes. At any point during the roast sequence you can add 6 seconds with each tap of the button. Time can be subtracted using the same method. The timer can be overridden by tapping the "Cool" button, causing the roaster to go into the cooling mode for 3 minutes. When you purchase this roaster from us, we include one pound of organic Fair Trade green coffee beans. This is premium grade Arabica coffee. If you would like to choose a specific variety we are happy to include your choice if we have it in stock. Please drop us a note when you order to select a specific coffee.
