2015 — Amazing Condition — Low Hours

 

BASICS   |     SPECS   |     CRATE & FREIGHT

 

Some roasters just have that unmistakable presence—and San Franciscan is one of them. Their timeless design, paired with rugged reliability, has made them a favorite among serious roasters.

This 2015 12kg San Franciscan SF-25 used coffee roaster is a standout: original owner, under 2,000 roasts, and operated just 3x/week over its life. It’s been meticulously cleaned, fully operational, and shows no known issues or modifications.

 

Outfitted with a cyclone/afterburner combo, 12' dual-wall chimney, and a stunning $2,000 custom “Blackberry Mist” finish (to match the owner's Harley Davidson motorcycle!), this system is as sharp as it is capable.

Running on natural gas, 220V single-phase, and located in the Upper Midwest, it’s ready for its next chapter.

A rare chance to step into a beautifully maintained, production-ready San Franciscan—built to last and ready to roast.

Frequently Asked Buyer Questions

Once a Used Elite equipment sale has transacted, what’s involved in relocating the equipment?

Once the seller confirms full payment has been received, CEPros will move on the previously scheduled equipment prep and engage the crating company and freight company. Or, if optioned, CEPros will facilitate a buyer pick-up.

CEPros requires crating companies to take photos of the equipment crating that are reviewed and approved by us before freight is scheduled.
This assures a safe equipment transport.

Once the crating photos have been approved, CEPros notifies the buyer the equipment is ready to ship and confirms the delivery address and buyer's schedule.

All shipments are insured and include an appointment delivery time that works with your schedule.
