Home coffee roasting is one of the big trends for home coffee consumers. There is no fresher way to make your coffee. New Plus 8 model with improvements! The Fresh Roast Plus 8 is designed to roast approximately 3 ounces of coffee beans at one time. 3 ounces of roasted beans will yield 12-16 cups of drip coffee. Roast times average about 6 minutes with a 2 minute "cool down" period. The Fresh Roast Plus is the easiest to use roaster available today. It is also the simplest, and the most durable. We recommend it as a starter roaster because of its ease of use, but many long-time home roasters still use it regularly. [+]

The Freshroast Plus 8 features a glass chamber for a 3. 5 oz. roast batch and a fast roast cycle. Ideal for a household of 1 to 2 coffee drinkers, it takes just 5-7 minutes to roast the green coffee beans with a 2 minute cool-down cycle. The Freshroast Plus has a mechanical timer and the chaff collector is simple yet effective. Because the roast chamber is smaller and the roast cycle is shorter than other home coffee roasting machines, it uses less energy to roast a batch of beans. Because of its basic design, this is the roaster that will outlast all the fancy, computer chip controlled machines out there. If you are a serious home coffee roaster, it is worth having one of these just in case your other roaster fails. Because of the mechanical timer and the fast roast time, this unit requires a little more attention to achieve your favorite roast. This is a simple matter of monitoring the bean color and aroma, then manually turning the machine to cool when the beans are perfect. [+]

The Ultimate Experience for Coffee Lovers! By roasting your own beans, you control the freshness of the coffee, rather than purchasing beans that might be weeks, or even months old. Independent experts agree, this is the best personal roaster available. Beans sold separately (not included).

The Fresh Roast Plus 8 home coffee roaster is the latest version of this popular model, with a new timer that goes to 8 minutes and a slightly slower roast profile for more body. The Fresh Roast series has been the starter roaster for many because of its entry level price tag, but dont let the price fool you - this machine can perform, producing a quality roast. The roast capacity is approximately 3 oz of green coffee beans, yielding enough to brew 12-14 cups of coffee. As a fluid bed (hot air) roaster, the roast cycle is fairly short, yielding a brighter flavor than a drum roaster. This is great for accentuating the differences between different coffee varietals. The machine operates relatively quietly for a hot air roaster and is very simple to use. Fill the beans and turn the dial and in about 6 minutes for an average roast, the beans will start cooling. There are no difficult setting to program. There are two variables you can vary when experimenting with your roasts if you are so inclined: the amount of green beans you put in the roaster and the amount of time you set the roaster for. While we do recommend playing with these variables some, keep in mind, even a less than ideal roast will typically produce coffee that is far superior to any coffee commonly available on the market today.
