FAQs
How much can I roast per batch?
Most users roast 6–8 oz. For naturals/high-chaff coffees, start at ≤6 oz.
Do I need ventilation?
Yes — especially for medium-dark roasts. Use a range hood or an open window.
What’s the difference vs SR540?
SR800 nearly doubles capacity and uses a taller, wider chamber while keeping 9/9 controls.
Will older SR lids/chaff baskets fit?
No. The SR800 chamber is wider; earlier SR accessories do not fit.
