Is there a reason to not set the fan speed to 9 right away when cooling?

Thanks for this wonderful video.

Hi David, I recently got a Link roaster and am hoping to start learning how to roast my own coffee. I find the Link software a bit confusing and don't want to tweak too many settings in case I mess things up. For example, I liked one of the built-in profiles on the roaster but wanted to tweak some parts of it, such as increasing the temperature during the drying phase or aiming for a longer development time. For some reason, after I made the adjustments to the curve, the roast would end before reaching the target development time. Would you be up for creating a video explaining the basic functions of the software? Thank you!

Would the process be slightly different with the oem extension?

David, thank you for the excellent video and helpful suggestions!

Queue the dramatical music.

Excellent instruction and historical. I purchased an aero last year. It puts out a great cup of coffee. I did not know about the inverted method. Thanks so much.

This man was not ready for me to have a whole ass arabica tree in my house

Hi, how much was the difference in bean temperature between the fresh roast display and the thermocouple reading?

I don’t even drink coffee and i still watched this

Have you tried on the latest addis 4.0 profiles? It seems like theres a huge changes on every profile and fan settings as well

Agree with this video -- as it happens, I purchased a Gene Cafe a number of years ago and it recently had An Incident which left me not willing to continue using it. So, for budgetary reasons, it was replaced with the SR800. By pure luck, this turns out to have been a good skill-level match. Gene Cafe was great to have fairly easy, little to no interaction roasts for the 6 or 7 years I used it -- but the SR800 is fun to get the most out of the various roasting stages. I can even tell the difference between 1st and 2nd crack easily! My only regret is not finding The Captain's Coffee website and UA-cam channel before making that purchase, but they do sell green coffee....

Finally! A helpful video that explains how to roast decaf beans in a good detail. Switched to decaf and have struggled to get it right. Detailing on why you should introduce the heat slowly was genius. Thank you!

Excellent work! Any idea when you will have the link back in stock? I'd much rather support you!

Thank you very much for this helpful video

Wow $1850, does it come with a lb of beluga caviar? Great video on the roaster

I finally received my 800 5.17.2024. In my carpenter shop I have a dedicated place for my coffee roasting. I set the machine up for roasting and today 5.21.2024 I am going to put the first beans in the machine. I am one that likes dark roast and I am going to follow your profile and see what happens. One thing I found out when I ran the machine last night for ten seconds, it is not so loud. Listening to videos makes it sound very loud. I kinda like the sound of the Fresh Roast sr800.

I’m currently roasting with a SR800 and a extention tube, I recently received some green beans from you that doesn’t want to crack,,,or at least you can’t hear it,,,my green beans usually hit first crack at around 7 min and a little over 400 degrees bean temp The new bean im trying to roast is your Ethiopian mush mush I’ve gone as high as 424 degrees for 11 minutes,,,beans look ok, buy very little if any crack, Is this normal for this natural bean? Thanks Ken

This video is over 3 years old. My comment at the moment is 5.11.2024. Fresh Roast sr 800 just came back on sale and I just ordered one. I need to order the extension tube now. At the same time I am building my own drum roaster in my shop and hope to have it working this week. We will see then which roaster is best for me.

I just tried pan roasting for the first time using aged and dried arabica brought from India by a collegue. I only did 18g for an espresso as a test in a small steel kettle. It turned out really great! The flavour was really complex and interesting. I think the uneven roasting you get by pan roasting may even be a benefit to get all these taste notes in a single cup. I will definitely try this again. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.

thanks for sharing!

What if roast a grinded coffee? 🤔 At least coarse. I guess it might help roast more evenly. Also should reduce a time of roasting. However as a downside there no longer be a crack. But a new time could be figured out by just several tries.

We use a San Franciscan SF-25 (25lb per batch) for our roasting. The smallest batch you can do 6lb, not the ideal for R&D of new roasting profiles. We have been reviewing the Link for a while and the Link in our opinion provides a great way for pioneering new custom profiles.

My Link was just delivered today from The Captains Coffee. Great guide from David. Will follow his suggestions tomorrow. Thanks David

Now sir... While I am crazy, I have actually been running a company that roasts primarily in cast iron pans for the last 6 years. Funny that these two things would pop up in the same video.

I'm here for the content but the "enhance" Super Troopers intro has me rolling 😂. Great stuff!

Excellent video.Very informative. Thank you

Do you still like to empty the chaff collector during cooling?

I would like to purchase this roaster. I am very much a beginner in roasting, having used a hot air popcorn popper. How easy is this for someone like me?

Wow best video on UA-cam. Just purchased this roaster and wished I watched this video before the roast. Thanks

I am waiting on the new stocking of the Fresh Roast sr800. 4.18.24. At the same time I am building a coffee roasting area in my wood shop for the roasting. I can't find the dimensions for the 800, mainly the hight including extending tube. Anyone know?

could an Air Fryer be a good way to roast Coffee beans?

So sweet. Too much money for me.yearb

I just got the Gene Cafe specifically because I am to busy to get super deep into my SR800. I have had the SR700 and modded the crap out of it and then did the same with the SR800. I eventually got burnt out and am to busy to put the time in so it eventually collected dust. I ended up switching to the Gene Cafe and it is so much easier to use. It isn't as complex but in my phase of life that is what I was looking for. So your different type people profiles is 100% accurate.

Thanks a lot!

Other than tube, is the 540 the same basic machine as the 800? There is no place that has an 800. all out of stock.

Super happy with my fresh roast. getting med+ evenly with 275 g per roast. Decaf has almost no chaff which rocks. Knowing the differences for decaf is so helpful, thank you thank you. My hearing isn't great and I can't even hear cracking most times, but I go by look and feel

I do only decaf which has almost no chaff so is quite awesome

I have been interested in the 800 but every place that sells them stays sold out.

First, thanks for the video. It really gave me a head-start on getting Artisan working. A couple of things: it seems that when you change settings and use File->Save that only saves them for that particular roast. When I killed and re-started Artisan all my settings were lost. At least on my version of Artisan, saving the configuration is actually done under (believe it or not) Help -> Save Settings. Also, one thing that I discovered the hard way is that Artisan was deciding to auto-drop for me which was ... wrong! I would be roasting away and suddenly Artisan would place a drop event and stop displaying development percent which was annoying to say the least. I discovered that this can be disabled under Config -> Events. On the main Config tab there is an "Auto DROP" checkbox at the bottom which I un-clicked (hopefully that will do it, I'll know the next time I roast). Lastly, I've got to say how impressed I am with Artisan. Being a total nerdgeek dude I couldn't use somebody else's thermocouple. Of course not! I ordered a type K thermocouple from china, and coupled that with a MAX31855 thermocouple module and a NodeMCU ESP-8266 (OK, just for grins I also added a display, an IR sensor, and designed a 3d printed case for the whole works). It was shockingly easy to integrate my home-brew thermocouple system into Artisan: just use Config -> Device, select "Prog", and point it at a python script that I wrote. And here I thought I was going to have to modify the Artisan code, but nope...they were WAY ahead of me! :) Thanks again for a super-helpful video.

Great video, how well does this roaster do for coffee at full city to full city+?

the easy way i do it out side, i do it by color not by time . i use a pan to water to cool the beans. let dry and de= gas wheelchair larry

Which BRANDS of coffee are made from liberica and excelsia beans?

I bought the machine today. Amazing video.

This comes off as a paid infomercial. I hope no one is failing for this. Stay with Ikwawa at this price point.

You need to preheat for a few minutes, then start at fan 9 temp 8. Leave the temp at 8 the entire roast. Starting at 20 minutes turn the fan speed down by 1 for every minute until you hit first crack. Keep an eye on the temp and start the cooling cycle around 415-425 for a city to city+ roast. I sometimes run 2 cooling cycles as it helps clean additional chaff. You arn't getting enough movement in your beans.

I bought one from Dave and his support has been great but I must say Nucleus support is non existent. I have put in 3 support tickets and have gotten the automatic response that they are looking at it but even after nearly a month no actually response. Goodness knows what will happen if I actually need them to do servicing. Very unhappy with the company, but as I said, Dave has been great.

Your videos have been very helpful as I've roasted with the SR800 now for a couple of years. After some hesitation, I added the extension tube. As you suggested, it is a big help. My current question relates to bean temp. Your recent video suggested a change during development of 10 -15 degrees at most for a light roast. I've ended up with a temp increase of more like 15-20 degrees in a minute of development. What impact would that extra heat have on taste? Also, where did you get the bean probe. I'm having difficulty finding one long enough. Thanks for all you do for us home roasters

Great starter for me, Captain, I just got lucky and was offered a Gene C from a fellow leaving the country and couldn't take the roaster with him. Now I'll need some beans to start doing my own roasting. Good job, Dave, and see you in the next video for roasting. Thanks!

Muchas gracias! Looking for alternatives to electricity!!
