The San Franciscan SF75 - Large Coffee Roaster
SF-75: 75lb/34kg large coffee roaster machine with afterburner
The SF-75 is the largest drum coffee roaster available from the San Franciscan Roaster Company. Despite its size and power, The SF-75 is one of the quietest roasters in the world.
This robust commercial coffee roaster is surprisingly easy to control. The most discerning roastmaster will find they can control heating at each stage of the roast.
As a manual drum roaster, the SF-75 boasts a comfortable low-profile operator interface along with the classic San Franciscan Roaster styling. Strong, beautiful, and quiet, the SF-75 can be perfectly featured in larger coffee houses.
A Robust, Beautiful, and Environmentally Friendly Drum Coffee Roaster
The SF-75 is built for the artisan roaster. It features independent, 3-phase motors with variable speed capability controls on the drum drive and hot air. It is perfect for those who desire precise control over conductive and convective heat transfer.
To reduce environmental impact, the SF-75 features an energy-saving afterburner with modulating controls which clean both hot and cool air.
As a continuous batch roaster, the SF-75 roasts and cools at the same time. For this reason, it can manage four roasts per hour - a total of 300 lbs/hr. Making it perfect for artisan roasters with several coffee houses or a strong wholesale program. The total roasting time for each 75lb batch is 13-15 minutes.
You can customize your very own SF-75 with optional features that can suit your individual requirements. The hot and cooling air vent, afterburner, and cyclone-chaff collector can be modified to suit low ceilings.
Manual, Flexible Precision for Roasting
The SF-75 is the most flexible large-capacity drum coffee roaster on the market. It provides the same degree of control on roasts as our other smaller drum coffee roasters.
Even though it’s a manual roaster, the SF-75 can be fitted with a roaster controller for programming roast profiles.

"We love their old style look mixed with good electronics"
"We have two 25lb San Franciscan roasters named Frannie and Cisco. As Roastmaster, I love roasting on these two work horses. I roast simultaneously on both of them, with no problem. We love their old style look mixed with good electronics. If maintainence is kept up, they will work well. As a good companion, we roast all our samples on our 1lb San Franciscan, keeping them harmonious with our roasting process."
Paul Allen - Roastmaster Caravan Coffee
"They've built a world class team around their world class roasters"
"The San Franciscan Coffee Roaster Co. has built a world class team around their world class roasters. Every person we have had the pleasure of working with is extremely knowledgeable in their craft and it shows in their final product. We have been using the same workhorse SF-25 for almost 30 years, so when it finally came time to purchase a new roaster we had no doubt it would be another San Franciscan. The American craftsmanship and American steel insure we will have another 30 years with our new SF-25. The pride they take in their craft shows and it allows us to take pride in ours."

"They took the roasting experience and perfected the process!"
San Franciscan Roaster Co. were so helpful and worked with us from the beginning (our first phone call with them) to our first roasting experience. They helped with deciding which roaster size would be best for our size business. We were put in contact with other coffee roasters who had purchased a San Franciscan Roaster to get feedback. We met some very awesome people who have had the San Franciscan Coffee Roaster for well over a decade and loved it!
The San Franciscan SF6 Coffee Roaster has been reliable and very easy on maintenance. Since we are in a very rural area (the mountains), they were able to guide us through standard maintenance and then some. We have been operating our SF6 Coffee Roaster now for 2 years and have not had any problems.
The roasting process with the San Franciscan is great...our coffee has had very high praise. They took the roasting experience and perfected the process!
If one day we decide to double our business we would definitely buy another San Franciscan Coffee Roaster!
