SF6: 6lb/3kg coffee roaster
The SF6 is one of the San Franciscan Roaster Company’s most popular roasters. This is because of its robust platform which roasts from 2.2 pounds (1 kg) to 6.6 pounds (3 kg) of green coffee per batch. The SF6 is perfect for cafes and coffee houses wanting something around the size of a 5lb coffee roaster.
The SF6 makes a perfect centerpiece for any coffee house. A 3kg coffee roaster, it's small enough to take to farmers markets, fairs and festivals. To assist with this, we have developed a specialty farmers market kit. It includes Amish-made hickory cartwheels with sealed bearings, rubber tires, a propane hookup and mount, and handles.
The kit can be adapted to fit any existing SF6 roaster. The SF6 is robust and attractive, with an international reputation as one of the best small batch coffee roasters available. It is the perfect alternative to any 5 pound coffee roaster on the market, with a better build quality and more control for the roastmaster.
Quality Components and Ease of Maintenance
The SF-6 is the best small batch coffee roaster in the world. This is because we hand-build these machines using only the best quality US-made materials available. We also specifically design every roaster to make cleaning and maintenance as simple as possible.
Like all our other roasters, the SF6, is made using the finest motors, bearings, gas and electrical components. This small batch coffee roasting machine comes equipped with self-igniting burners and a pressure gage to monitor BTU output.
Cleaning and maintenance are important for industrial machines, particularly for small batch coffee roasters. For this reason, the motors, pipes, and cooling tray on the SF-6 are removable for easy cleaning. Our roasters are known around the world for their superb roasting characteristics, remarkable reliability, and simplicity of use. Check out our small batch coffee roasters blog for more information.
Combining Traditional Design With Advanced Technology
Not only is the SF6 robust and beautiful, but it’s also highly advanced. Just like our larger commercial coffee roasters, the SF6 includes temperature probes to measure bean mass and the temperature inside the drum. This information is displayed on a dual-digital meter simultaneously during the roast. It provides roastmasters with the exact knowledge they need at every stage of the roast, so they can achieve the results they desire.
Our small batch coffee roasters are compatible with most data-logging software for coffee roasting. The SF6 comes complete with a gas pressure gauge and hot-air control, as well. The roaster is versatile, working on either natural gas or propane.
