We just got the new Fresh Roast SR300 and Fresh Roast SR500 delivered to us Friday afternoon! I will be working on a description and a video of each today and tomorrow. They should be available for checkout by Tuesday around Noon or so.
Fresh Roast SR300
The Fresh Roast SR300 is a larger version of the Plus 8. It will roast twice the capacity of the Plus 8 with a digital time display. The maximum time to set the control is 9.9 minutes. At any point during the roast sequence you can add 6 seconds every time you tap the button. Time can be subtracted using the same method. The timer can be overridden by tapping the “Cool” button, the roaster will go into the “Cool” mode for 3 minutes. The SR300 will sell for $109.
Fresh Roast SR500
The Fresh Roast SR500 has the same capacity ( 4 scoops , 120 gm) and features of the SR300 —plus three temperature settings that can be adjusted any time during the roasting process. High temp. = 490 degrees Medium temp. = 455 degrees Low temp. = 390 degrees A Fan Speed Control has been added that allows the finest tuning of the roast. The Fan Speed Control allows adjustments of + or – 10%. Starting the roast, the beans are at their heaviest, the fan speed can be turned up to keep the beans fluid and give an even roast. As the beans become lighter, the fan speed can be turned down and keep the beans from chipping. The SR500 will sell for $159.
I did a couple of movies this morning of me roasting coffee. I am using our USRC 12 kilo roaster that I have connected to a laptop. They are not the greatest videos out there but I am a coffee roaster, not a cameraman! Visit our YouTube Channel http://www.youtube.com/ourcoffeebarn I will also embed at least one video on this post too.
Want to save some money and still enjoy great coffee?
A little like the “Day Old” section in a Bakery. But not even close to the bargain bin of, beyond the “sell by date” in the grocery store.
We will take coffees off the Pre Roasted Coffee listings if they are still there after 30 days. Coffee is still considered fresh longer than this by many of the bigger roasters. Any coffee we take off the Pre Roasted Section because it is over 30 days since roasted will be donated to a local food shelf.
I have read that the “mermaid logo” (Starbucks) coffee company let’s ALL of their coffee “rest” and “de-gass” for 2 weeks before it is loaded onto the trucks for delivery to another regional warehouse, before it is trucked again to a retail store and ends up on a shelf for sale. How fresh can that be? Consider this when you purchase coffee from this section!
The prices will be unbeatable!
The free 1/2 pound with each 2 pounds purchased DOES NOT apply to this section!
If you check this section on a regular basis you should be able to find some incredible deals!
I am starting my roasting schedule right now. I will be busy roasting and I won’t be able to answer the phone, calls may go to voice mail. I will check my voicemail and email throughout the day and reply when I can.

Simplicity for the Novice
Total Control for the Advanced User
Gene Café Home Coffee Roaster
With a Gene Café coffee bean roaster, producing a fresh, great-tasting cup of coffee at home has never been easier.
The ability to control the variables is key to producing the perfect roast, and the Gene Café has been engineered to give complete control over time and temperature– two important factors for achieving perfectly roasted beans. The Gene Café’s control panel is equipped with temperature and time controls capable of producing a full range of coffee styles, from a light American roast to a dark Italian roast that is ideal for espresso. The system’s large Pyrex® roasting chamber and clear safety cover allow users to check the progress of the entire half-pound batch– an advantage over many other roasters.
Gene Café’s Total Control system allows the user to make time and temperature adjustments on the fly without having to interrupt or re-start the roasting process. LED displays provide time and dynamic temperature information while audible tones alert the user to cycle changes. Newbies can follow the instruction manual’s simple time and temperature chart while experienced roasters will be pleased by how easy it is to fine-tune the process to personal tastes. Gene Café’s unique, patented off-axis roasting chamber and hot air convection system ensure even roasting regardless of the batch size. And because the flow-through convection system does not recirculate the hot air, Gene Café is exceptionally efficient at removing chaff, even from dry processed beans.

Paul from US Roaster Corp sent me a software update to fix some minor flaws in the program of my profiler. I got it installed OK and the roaster is up and running just fine!
