Customers are mixed about the adjustability of the coffee maker. Some mention it has adjustable settings, multiple options for the perfect roast, and allows you to dial in precise settings. However, others say that they lost the ability to adjust fan speed. The power of heating and speed of fan are tricky, and the adjustments are not always moving one number at a time when they turn the knob. That makes it impossible to control the roast profile.

"...The SR540 makes it easy to fine tune your roasts to get exactly what you want, introducing an entirely new flavor profile to your brews...." Read more

"...My roaster came with the adjust knob out of place and loose in the box. When I put it in place it did not stay placed because it did not fit tightly...." Read more

"Replaced identical, which lasted over 10 years. Lost ability to adjust fan speed. This replacement runs cooler. Just have to roast longer...." Read more

20 customers mention13 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the coffee maker. Some mention it packs a lot of bang for the buck, is wonderful inexpensive roaster, and saves a great deal of money for a premium brew. Others say it's not cheap, an expensive experiment, and has minor quality control issues.

"...Trashed a new GE microwave/exhaust fan unit. Expensive experiment..." Read more

"...to pay $600 or more for something like Gene Cafe, this is a good roaster for the price." Read more

Customers are mixed about the size of the coffee maker. Some mention that it's small and convenient, while others say that the parts fit very loosly together and require a little adjusting during the roasting process.

Customers are dissatisfied with the temperature control of the coffee maker. They mention that the unit doesn't get hot enough to do a darker roast, the temperature can't rise enough, and the heating elements are just too underpowered. They also say that the temperature is difficult to control and the knob to adjust fan speed would not constantly adjust properly. Some say that heat from the unit literally crumbles the lid assembly.

"...(does not show the actual bean temperature though - use an infra-red thermometer for that)...." Read more

"...roaster works just fine, However lower wall voltages result in lower temperatures for the same settings on the control panel, and this leads to..." Read more

I've gone down the rabbit hole...
Love this little machine and I've gone down the rabbit hole of roasting my own coffee beans.I've tried another roaster that I bought off Amazon, that costs much less than this one, and I ended up returning it for this item. Even though this cost about $100 more at the time, I am VERY happy with that decision.It does require a little adjusting during the roasting process, with both the fan speed and heat, but it's become a lot of fun for me. If you're interested in roasting your own coffee beans I'd highly recommend this unit. Just know, this isn't a set it and forget it type of process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roasts so evenly and so easily!
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023

I've never roasted a single coffee bean in my life before I bought and used this machine. I watched one video on Youtube to get an idea of how it worked and gave it a go. It worked great! Very easy to use, got the beans toasty brown in under 12 minutes, and I'm looking forward to giving them a taste in a few days after they've rested a bit. You can't put too many beans in there, basically 4 tablespoons worth or so, but it's enough for several cups of coffee. Definitely worth trying if you're interested in roasting your own beans and not wasting any through burning using less dummy proof contraptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Will never roast from a pot again
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022
Verified Purchase
Although I've been roasting coffee beans for over 10 years now good luck trying to achieve roasts that are consistently light or medium in a pot. The SR540 makes it easy to fine tune your roasts to get exactly what you want, introducing an entirely new flavor profile to your brews.

My only complaints is that I wish the roasting chamber and chaff basket would lock. Also, instructions are lacking even on youtube.

I don't believe cooking (or roasting) is an art. It has more to do with temperature and thankfully this machine has a menu where you can check the temp of your roasting chamber. The numbers you need to remember is 380, 400 and 450 for light, medium and dark. Controlling the fan speed has just as much to do with controlling temp as does the heat setting. That would have been very helpful information to know first time using this machine.

Having the ability to make perfectly light and dark roasts has allowed me to mix both prior to grinding to create a lot of complexity to my every brew. Best enjoyed black. No off burnt flavors. And also no clouds of smoke. This machine will still set off nearby smoke detectors. Not sure if that can ever be avoided regardless of roasting method. I've been roasting outside for years so makes no difference to me but for others you might want to cover or disconnect nearby smoke detectors.

They even thought to include a 3 minute cooling setting to your roasting chamber.

You will get chaff in your beans, but not much. Most will be blown into the chaff basket. I keep a bag next to my roaster and after dumping the chaff basket in there I'll pick up the roasting chamber, stick it and my face partially into the bag and blow the two or three chaff skins in. Really just looking for an excuse to smell freshly roasted beans. Before when I was roasting out of a pot all the chaff went into my grinds.

This roaster doesn't roast a lot at a time and it takes about 30 minutes to roast a weeks worth. I have 2 to 3 cups of expresso a day, each about 6oz. I enjoy roasting with it so not really a con for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it! Beginner friendly! Easy to use!
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2023

I've been roasting coffee for several years now using a variety of methods including a converted hot air popcorn popper motor and HVAC pipe for the chimney. I ordered this because it can roast a higher volume per roast, I also have the ability to control the fan speed, temp, timer and the clear glass let's me watch the roast and it catches the chaff extremely well for disposal or compost.

It recommends using 4 level scoops of beans, but I have done 5 and a bit and turned the fan up a level or two to overcome the extra weight of unroasted beans. If your beans aren't fluffing up and agitating at all, then you either put too much in or need to up the fan speed a level or two. Each batch takes 6-10 minutes including a cooling period as well. I've made 6 batches since I got this and had to adjust the settings a bit after the first two roasts but that is what makes this roaster great is the ability to adjust to your preference. I recommend watching the first couple roasts and adjust as needed.

All in all, I absolutely love it! One thing to mention to anybody new to roasting coffee is that the process creates a fair amount of smoke no matter what method you use, and WILL fill the home with smoke and set off your smoke alarms, so make sure to set this up outside, or next to a window with exhaust fan, or do what I do and set it up in your fireplace and open the flue, this works well for roasting in winter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceeded expectations

I have been using the Nuevo hand held stove top roaster for over 4 years now, ever since I switched to roasting my own coffee. I have been looking at other options (too expensive for my needs) to roast for a while and ended up selecting FreshRoast that Sweet Maria's suggested and based on good reviews. Let me say this, the amount of coffee that I can roast at a time is the same as Nuevo but the output is very consistent compared to the hand roaster. There is also a subtle improvement in the taste, either due to consistency or due to how roasting curve is better managed by the machine versus hand roasting. One of the reviewers mentioned about the need to have proper exhaust to roast inside the house and let me say this as I have hand roasted for many years, the chaffe generated by the stove top roaster without a trap required a lot more cleaning than this. The clean up here is far more simpler. It is fairly easy to setup and use. As other reviewers have indicated be gentle with the glass jar, I do not use its handle. If there is one downside to mention, it is that the equipment gives you the feel of a counter top blender but the glass jar nor the lid lock, they fit loosely. But there is no impact to the end result though. I am very happy with the purchase, not only it is easy to use, the taste of coffee has improved.

I'm loving using this roaster. Still playing around to get perfect flavour I want, but everything that it has done so far has tasted great. Does small batches, but doesn't take up too much counter space. I roast under my range hood vent to keep the smoke detectors from going off. I'd recommend this to a friend who loves good coffee.

I was very excited about this product. I think overall it is designed well and easy to use. I needed to watch a YouTube tutorial because the instructions are terrible. However, my problem with it is that it does not have nigh enough temperature for a dark bold roast. It does a good job for light to medium roast. Even at 16 minutes on high heat and fan, it does not produce the results I desire.

They reply fast, prompt delivery and they're courteous. The product itself is absolutely amazing! It's made by an external supplier, KitchenBoutique is the reseller. The problem I had was with KitchenBoutique.

I had an issue with my product. I believe it was a manufacturing defect. I wrote to KitchenBoutique to get an exchange and they told me they would look into it and contact the supplier. Then it became radio silence, nothing. I contacted the supplier myself and got a response within 24hours and I managed to solve my issue directly with them. What gives!?

TLDR;
The Machine : Absolutely awesome!
The Reseller : Meh
