San Franciscan 1

Not sure where you are looking to find a commercially capable 1lb roaster for 'a LOT cheaper'. I looked around before I spent 3.5k on my SF1 and my research indicated you can easily pay double that for a quality 1lber.

It'll probably be years before another one is available in that condition and at that price.

You got a heck of a deal on that one Shaun.

Shaun, you not only got a deal, but you got a great trip and a story to tell for years out of that one.

And like all war stories, the beer will be better and the girls prettier with each retelling.

And like all war stories, the beer will become champagne and the girls supermodels with each retelling.

I'm curious how the controls work on the SF1, and how it differs from the 800n. So Shaun, how does a DP bean roast on the SF1 like the Klatch Gedeo Worka? I have to back off the heat on mine and end the roast by time and temp after 1c. Do you vary the air control during the roast? On the 800n the drill is to turn the air down To 1 after drop-in and up to 2-3.5 after the drying phase is complete. On that bean I turn the gas off from drop-in to TP on advice from my friend with the same roaster.

I don't know anything about the 800n so I can't make comparisons.
