New York Fresh Roast SR500 Coffee Roaster - Canandaigua, NY $110

[pshankstar]

I’m selling my Fresh Roast SR500 fluid bed air coffee roaster. I purchased it new in December 2017 and used it till December 2018. Since then I have upgraded to a larger roaster and this one has been sitting on the shelf. Instead of collecting dust I figured I should try to sell it so someone else can enjoy the hobby of roasting their own coffee.
I have the original box and manual with the roaster. It’s been well taken care of and works without any issues. There is one small chip on the lid but it doesn’t affect the roasters performance.
I’m asking $110 for the roaster which includes shipping. I’ll be happy to include a pound of green coffee beans with the roaster too. It depends on what beans I have on hand at the time of the sale.
If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks!

Ooo man. I am a little over an hour away and would love to start roasting my own coffee! I will really have to think about it.

Sounds good! This roasted set me down another rabbit hole of hobbies. [emoji6]
If you ever come for one of the Other Half releases up here again I’m only 7 minutes away.

THAT is exactly why I'm trying really hard not to want this

HAHA An old coworker of mine roasted his own beans and I was so interested in learning to roast but I was going back to school at night, working full time and had a new born. Fast forward 8 years later, I'm in a different job, working from home when I don't travel, kids are older, done with school and kind of forgot about roasting. Then at a home brew club event @Ruint brought some home roasted coffee for the early morning brew day. I forgot how good it was and I was hooked. Months later I bought this Fresh Roast roaster and never looked back!
So I blame Bill (old coworker) to getting coffee roasting on my radar years ago. I also blame @Ruint for pushing me over the edge to start roasting! HAHA Anyhow, I really enjoy it, my wife loves it too but not the smell just like brewing. I will tell you though, you will never look at coffee the same way once you go down this path.
Now that I have said that, someone here will want to venture down that road too! I'm just here to help them start that journey.

LMAO [emoji23] !!! You are welcome PSHANKSTAR

Unfortunately, I'm really the only one that likes coffee. The wife and daughter like heavily sweetened, flavored creamer with a splash of coffee (basically.)

I’m in the same boat I like my coffee black. My wife was the same as your wife and daughter but now she’s cut back on how much milk & sweeter she uses. I even gave her a travel mug of coffee black, she drank it and loved it without knowing. So there’s always hope, especially if you go down this road. [emoji6]

Let's see...
I love baking, make rum, homemade cheese, cure and shred tobacco and just getting into brewing...
Coffee seems a likely progression

Yes it does! Although I haven't gotten into rum, cheese or tobacco. But the cheese intrigues me, I'm not going to lie. But I hardly fish, so I need to stop picking up more hobbies and do more fishing when the weather's nice.

Cheesemaking is pretty easy... tricky bit is making it GOOD cheese.
You just reminded me I have to run out to farm and pull a flat off of my boat trailer.

Figure it's the only way to get better beans, cheaper. Am I right, or is this equivalent to the cost saving of homebrewing?
Regardless, salivating.

Much easier to save money on home roasting coffee than home brewing beer. Just don't get into espresso.

Responded to your PM.

Cheers!
See you all on the roasting thread. Thanks for the wisdom

Thanks for buying this! I was so tempted and happy that I won’t be starting another passion.

I started with an air popcorn popper that was already sitting in a kitchen cabinet.

The first hit, err roaster, was free!
