I’ve been thinking about getting into home roasting, anyone got any tips of first roasters and places to check out for green beans? I was thinking a SR800 with extension tube from sweet Maria’s and the green coffee there as well but love to hear other thoughts!

How much do you roast with the 500 reasonably?

Without the extension tube, I could roast 4 oz at a time. With the extension tube, I can do up to 8 oz at a time. However, I've found 7 oz or less leads to a more uniform roast.

Will definitely checkout the 540 with extension tube then!
