3kg San Franciscan SF-6 Used Coffee Roaster-2014

Very Good Condition! New Bean Probe Just Added!

San Franciscan Roasters are often described as "classic," but there's a lot more to this iconic West Coast brand, including their reliability. Or, to use another "C" word: Consistency. We might add that these are two highly desired qualities in a good friend, and that's exactly what this little 2014 3kg SF-6 will become to you when it's added to your shop.

This rugged little sidekick can consistently churn out 2.2 pounds (1 kg) to 6.6 pounds (3 kg) of green coffee per batch. Just ask the current owner of this one: For six years straight, this roaster ran for 3 days a week, 6 hours a day, without fail, producing a consistent product to help the current owner grow his business. It's grown so much that he needs a larger-capacity machine, so he's letting this one go.

It runs on 110v and is fueled by natural gas. If required, it can be swapped to propane with a kit from San Franciscan. This 3kg machine has 30,000 BTUs. It is not currently set up for Cropster/Artisan connection, but it's easy enough: Just purchase a Phidget, connect it to the thermocouples, and plug it into your laptop.

The SF-6: 6lb/3kg Drum Small Batch Coffee Roaster

(From San Franciscan Roasters)

The SF-6 is one of the San Franciscan Roaster Company’s most popular roasters. Due to its robust platform which roasts from 2.2 pounds (1 kg) to 6.6 pounds (3 kg) of green coffee per batch, the SF6 is perfect for cafes and coffee houses.

Our special farmers market kit gives roastmasters the ability to easily transport the SF6 to farmers markets, fairs, and festivals. The kit includes Amish-made hickory cartwheels with sealed bearings, rubber tires and steel axel, propane hookup and mount, and handles. This kit can be made to fit on existing SF6 roasters as well.

The SF-6 is robust and attractive, earning it an international reputation as one of the best small batch coffee roasters available today.

Quality Components and Ease of Maintenance

At the San Franciscan Roaster Company, we strive to offer the highest quality products to roastmasters all around the world. In order to achieve this distinction, we make use of only the highest quality materials and specifically design every roaster to make cleaning and maintenance as simple as possible.

The SF-6, as well as all our other roasters, is made with the finest motors and bearings as well as gas and electrical components. The SF6 comes equipped with self-igniting burners and a pressure gauge to monitor BTU output.

Not only are all the component that makes up the SF-6 of the highest quality, but they are also implemented with ease of maintenance in mind. The motors, pipes, and cooling tray are removable for easy cleaning.

Our roasters are known around the world for their superb roasting characteristics, remarkable reliability, and simplicity of use.

Combining Traditional Design With Advanced Technology
Not only is the SF-6 robust and beautiful, but it’s also highly advanced. Just like all our other roasters, the SF-6 includes temperature probes that measure bean mass and the temperature inside the drum. This information is displayed on a dual-digital meter simultaneously during the roast, providing the roastmaster with the exact knowledge they require in order to produce the best roast.

Our small batch coffee roasters are compatible with most data-logging software for coffee roasting. The SF6 comes complete with a gas pressure gauge and hot-air control as well. It will work on either natural gas or propane.

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.
