New here...roaster question

[amcren]

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with a US made San Franciscan roaster. I am looking at their small sf6 roaster. Appreciate any info!

I used one about 12 years ago. I only roasted a couple of batches..it was a buddy of mines roaster. I have to say it was pretty awesome! The only problem I had was the price..it was really expensive. The cooling bin was insane. The coffee cooled almost instantly..hope this helps.

Might want to check the availability of parts in case you need to make repairs as well.

I have several friends who use this roaster... 10k or bigger. They are great roasters and they do great job and like Topher said, their cooling process where you can get advantage on some of other roasters. But yes the price.... That is one thing you have to consider .... Good luck
