Description
This is a great new product for FreshRoast SR 540. It is a glass insert for the existing roast chamber that provides a greater batch size and better bean rotation allowing for more versatile roasting.
This insert will only work with the new FreshRoast SR 540.
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE A ROAST CHAMBER – it is just the new insert for your existing roast chamber. If you need a new roast chamber, they can be found here.

Excellent accessory. More capacity, and more even roast. Worth every cent.
A MUST HAVE!!!!

Does this increase the capacity?
What is the new capacity.
Carter Foulke –
Yes but it is variable, most can go to between 6-8 ounces with the extension tube. High chaff coffees are 6 ounces or less.

I find the roasting is faster than without the extension. I have done 2 batches so far and noticed when I switched to the cooling cycle my color was perfect but as the beans cooled they got darker. Possibly because of the larger volume of beans. On my second batch I cut the roasting off just short of the perfect color and hit cool. I was much happier with the second roast aiming for a true medium roast. The first batch resulted in a full city color.
