I love my FreshRoast SR800, and enjoyed the machine even more when I added an Expansion Tube. Once I did this, I quickly found out that the stock chaff collection in the top wasn’t quite up to the job.
Also works with the SR540 & Older SR700 Models
For a while I did a DIY solution which involved fine mesh wire, however it was always a pain to get it just right, was sharp and more effort than it was worth.
I searched for many solutions finally coming up with my own.
There is no assembly or cutting required. Simple snap/press the parts in place and start roasting.
The middle bean/chaff separator helps prevent beens from entering the chaff reservoir. It’s not perfect, and some beans will get by, but it greatly helps with the expansion of the side walls.
There is an option to add a 4mm or smaller temp probe. I used the following Thermocouple in the photos. – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D95HQNQP?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1
The FreshRoast OEM Top or Probe are not included. It’s only in the photos/video as an example of fitment.
This is printed out of a very high temp engineering grade nylon to withstand the extreme heat generated while roasting.

This is a great addition to the SR800 Roaster and it fits perfectly. I used it so I can install temperature probes to record the roasting profile in the Artisan software and this lid extension works perfect for that, especially since it already has 2 probe ports build in. They are plugged, but you can just push them out and install your probes and not have to damage the metal lid from the roaster. I used it several times now and it withstands the temperatures very nicely without and deformation or cracking. So if you need more headspace for chaff collecting and/or want to install temperature probes, this is a must have for the SR800 roaster.
It fit my Fresh Roast SR800 to a T. And it has helped me out in my roasting immensely. I was able to add another thermocouple and helped in tracking my roasting.
The chaff collector expansion works great! It’s well made and holds my exhaust probe well.
Fits perfectly, can’t wait to start a new roast.
Exactly as advertised !
