Hi everyone,

Since there's not a SR540 "about" discussion board per se, I thought I'd ask my question here. I recently purchased a Fresh Roast SR540. So far its great, and I definitely prefer it over my thrift store popper finds. Unfortunately, the chaff is not totally separating throughout the roast process, no matter which kind of coffee I roast. I still have to use colanders and a box fan to blow the rest of the chaff away when I'm done roasting. Is this normal with this style roaster?

Thanks,

Scott

It is normal with any style roaster, there is a non negligible amount of chaff removed in the cooling tray/phase for most roasting methods.
