Crack the Roast: SR800 Profiling with Sight, Sound, and Smell
About this episode
Episode 83: In this episode, we dive into a listener question about dialing in a FreshRoast SR800 with the extension tube. We talk through whether temperature targets are actually useful, how reliable (or unreliable) roaster thermometers can be, and why we often focus more on time, sensory cues, and roast phases than chasing exact temps.
If you’re roasting on an SR800 (or any hot-air roaster), this episode is our practical, real-world take on profiles, temperature targets, and how to make your roaster work with you instead of against you—while keeping things approachable, useful, and fun.
