Henry's House of Coffee, San Francisco

 Henry's House of Coffee in San Francisco has used a green SF25 for decades. 2nd generation owner, Hrag Kalebjian says, "It's the focal point of our shop. We get so many compliments--people think it's form the 1800's because of its classic steam engine look."

Avoca Coffee

Avoca Coffee was established in 2011, in the historic Near Southside district of Fort Worth, TX, the project of childhood friends Garold LaRue and Jimmy Story. “I’m a fifth-generation coffee grower,” says Garold, “and at eighteen when I started working, I decided to become a barista. I’ve been in coffee ever since—seen part of the 2nd wave, the 3rd wave, and the birth of the new wave, whatever it is.”

"The manual aspect of San Franciscan roasters are unparalleled"

SF-1-7-V3-smlThe manual aspect of San Franciscan roasters are unparalleled. They are tailor made for specialty/third wave coffee roasting. The quick response time is perfect as well. We specialize in single-origin coffee only and go through about 50+ unique lots a year, so nimbleness and responsiveness are key. We tried several roaster manufacturers before finding San Franciscan; we won't go back!

"These roasters are extremely well made"

We purchased a 10 pound roaster for our Reserve coffees for Corvus Coffee. We've had nothing but excellent experiences both with the machine and the support! These roasters are extremely well made, and the 10 pounder has great control of airflow and gas/heat. The team at SF is always responsive to the (very few) questions or needs we've had with the machine. Probably buying more SF roasters going forward.

"Beautiful roaster! A center piece of our cafe"

ohio-roasting-companyBeautiful roaster! A center piece of our cafe. There were a couple minor issues with roaster in the beginning but San Franciscan’s customer service was good. Technical support diagnosed them quickly and parts were sent.
I bought mine during COVID which may have caused delays and some quality control issues. Overall, I’m pretty happy with the machine and the company and would recommend them.

They have friendly staff, helped us troubleshoot electrical issues with our unit, and were able to diagnose and solve the issue each step of the way (thanks Alex!). We appreciate Bill’s leadership and taking care of all customers. "

"One of the best decisions I made when starting my coffee roasting business"


"The San Franciscan is a real workhorse. True continuous duty, great airflow, very solid construction, and a beautiful design. All this and great service to back it up. Four years and 250,000 pounds later, it is still going strong. One of the best decisions I made when starting my coffee roasting business."

"They took the roasting experience and perfected the process!"


San Franciscan Roaster Co. were so helpful and worked with us from the beginning (our first phone call with them) to our first roasting experience. They helped with deciding which roaster size would be best for our size business. We were put in contact with other coffee roasters who had purchased a San Franciscan Roaster to get feedback. We met some very awesome people who have had the San Franciscan Coffee Roaster for well over a decade and loved it!

The San Franciscan SF6 Coffee Roaster has been reliable and very easy on maintenance. Since we are in a very rural area (the mountains), they were able to guide us through standard maintenance and then some. We have been operating our SF6 Coffee Roaster now for 2 years and have not had any problems.

The roasting process with the San Franciscan is great...our coffee has had very high praise. They took the roasting experience and perfected the process!

If one day we decide to double our business we would definitely buy another San Franciscan Coffee Roaster!
