Looking for a Sonofresco roaster

[Burner0000]

I am looking for a used Sonofresco to help get me started on a roasting business/cafe. 1 or 2 lb models I am willing to buy. Please PM me. I reside in Ontario Canada but am willing to pay shipping.


Found one!

Can i ask why Sonofresco? Do you have roasting experience? Are you going to open a new shop? Have you ever looked into other machines like sample roasters or other smaller roasters.

There is one on ebay right now

Hi Burner- I have 3 Sonofrescos and am going to sell a 1 pounder. Great condition and new roasting chamber. You can call me, Mark Central Time in Nashville at 615-554-2553 or ask any more questions online.

Yes I have 2 years experience in roasting. I am also going to open a small shop and I will be using several Sonofresco roasters. I have looked into a lot of other roasters and the Sonofresco suits both my needs and my budget right now. (Just bought a house)

I dont consider sonofresco as commercial grade roaster. There are tons of them out there and I do not recommend buying used one Sonofresco because their units are not made to last. Also if you are using them as display, the glass part gets very dirty quickly after few months of light use. I don't know if that is how you want to display if that is your plan.

I have seen few Ambex, Toper and other decent brand used roaster for sale with reasonable price.
I will some search later and post them up.

Good Luck

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I can't contact that seller to see if they ship to Canada.. I've done extensive research on the Sonofresco and yes it isn't built like a typical commercial drum roaster but I am willing to swap out parts from time to time. According to the manufacturer the glass needs to be wiped after each roast as well as the temp sensor. Also Sonofresco is going to be releasing a new board for the machine to allow custom roast profiles next year. The display, small footprint and auto roast is why I wan't to get it. I also want a roaster I can have in house that won't leech roast smell everywhere indoors. This can drive away customers. The Sono also doesn't require much gas or electricity to roast so it helps with the gas and electric bill.

I am looking into the Artisan V from Coffee Crafters...it does 5 pounds and they have another one that does 2 I think. I was looking into the sonofresco too, but the Coffee Crafters seems like a better machine, but I haven't used one yet.

Looks good but not enough control for me. One of the reasons I wanted the Sono was the board upgrade they are coming out with that will allow custom profiles. I ended up buying RockyTOP's Sono roaster.

Got the Sono last week and hope to fire it up this weekend. I didn't realize how sturdy they were built. I can see now why they rate them for 24/7 use. Even the glass roast chamber weights a lot.

We decided not to manufacture the 2 lb. machine. We have 2 prototypes for sale that we can support. It only cost a little more to turn the 2 lb. machine into a 5 lb. machine so it didn't make much sense to build the smaller one. The hopper on the 2 roasters was the same size. Actually the 5 lb. machine will roast 8 lbs but the cooling pot only holds 5.
