The San Franciscan Roaster Company

"I went from a 2.6 lb roaster to the San Fran 6 roaster. Very easily transitioned and dialing in gas pressure and timing of the various stages of roasting. Great product and user friendly if you know the basics. Working on sealing out the smoke leaks. Should have a seperate cooling fan in order to jump right into the next roasting cycle and maximize the roasting lbs per hour. Currently 3 roasts per cycle with a 4 to 5 min bean cooling time per roast. Could potentially hit 3.5 to 4 roasts per hour with seperate cooling! On a 8 hour roasting day that could be up to 40lbs per shift and 200 lbs per week. Just my thoughts. 29:11 Roasting Company!"

"I really should have posted this last August after spending a few days in Carson city with Mark and guys at SF. we own and operate BemaRoasters in Anchorage Ak and have been using the SF10 for over a year now. Back in august w made the trip to spend a few days with mark&crew to get some feedback on the coffee and to get some roasting advice and tips on how to better use the SF10.. Long story short idkw we waited so long, it was worth every single penny spent to get down there.. I was skeptical about how much of a benefit two days would make but every single question i had and the problems i was having getting the results i was looking for in our coffee was answered. I am not being hyperbolic when i say that upon returning home the cup quality of our coffee change dramatically overnight. If you already own a SF machine and are just curious or if you are considering if this machine is right for you i would say without hesitation that visiting Bill, Mark & Mark and the outstanding crew in Carson city is money well spent."

"Owned a SF 25 Sanfranroaster since 1992. Still going strong! Best roaster in the market in my opinion and very easy to work on if needed."

"I have been thoroughly impressed by quality of their equipment and the level of customer care we received. They have friendly staff, helped us troubleshoot electrical issues with our unit, and were able to diagnose and solve the issue each step of the way (thanks Alex!). We appreciate Bill’s leadership and taking care of all customers. (Rise & Grind Coffees, NC)"

"Beautiful roaster! A center piece of our cafe. There were a couple minor issues with roaster in the beginning but San Franciscan’s customer service was good. Technical support diagnosed them quickly and parts were sent. I bought mine during COVID which may have caused delays and some quality control issues. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the machine and the company and would recommend them."
