What customers say
The Fresh Roast SR700 is highly regarded as an excellent entry roaster, primarily due to its superior control and speed. Users value the digital interface for precise heat and fan adjustments, which ensures repeatable roast quality. The fluid bed process is fast, often finishing a batch in under ten minutes, and bean visibility aids in monitoring roast progress. The main limitations noted are the small four ounce batch size, which requires frequent roasting for heavy users, and some long term durability concerns regarding the heating element under constant operation. Overall, the SR700 delivers exceptional performance and control for its price, making it ideal for beginners focused on experimentation.
Know before you buy
No, the SR700 can operate independently using its manual controls. However, connecting it to a Windows PC via USB is required if you want to program, save, and replicate specific roast profiles.
The SR700 has a roasting capacity of 4.5 ounces, or approximately 130 grams, of green coffee beans per batch.
No, the SR700 does not have a built-in smoke suppression system. Because roasting coffee naturally produces smoke, especially during darker roasts, we recommend using the device in a well-ventilated area or under a kitchen hood.
The provided software is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 8. If you are using a newer version of Windows or a Mac, you may need to utilize a virtual machine or compatibility mode to run the software.
Yes, you have full control over the process. Whether using the manual interface or the computer software, you can adjust the time, temperature, and fan speed in real-time to fine-tune your roast.
The unit comes with the roaster itself and an integrated chaff collector, which helps catch the loose skin from the beans during the roasting process for easier cleanup.
