I am doing the Fresh Roast SR540 review and roast with this popular home coffee roaster. This hot air coffee roaster is a popular choice for the beginner and seasoned home coffee roaster. In this video I discuss the features of the SR540, how to control the roaster and even do my very first roast as I discuss basic roasting concepts. If you have never roasted coffee before, this video will give you enough information where you can buy this roaster and have a successful roast.
This roaster is available from several coffee roasting retailers or you can find it here using this affiliate Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3FYUA1Q

I roast coffee on my Mill City 500 gram commercial coffee roaster every week. I also use a Behmor , Hive, Fresh Roast, The Popper and a hot air popcorn popper to roast some great coffee. Join me as we roast, brew and cup coffee at home.
