For anyone looking to get into coffee roasting. I HIGHLY recommend this machine for value to performance. I also HIGHLY encourage you to pay the extra and get the extension tube for it for extra $60 (normally $79). Using the extension has halved my time to roast allowing me to roast about 2lbs per hour now. Previously, it was would take ~2 hours to roast the same 2lbs.
With the extension tube the machine can

A popcorn popper is a great low-investment introduction to home coffee roasting but this is definitely a step up.

But yes lots of smoke (and not the "oooh roasted coffee!" Smell everyone thinks), so hard to roast beyond FC+. Finicky with bean type, have broken both the tube and top. Max 230g. Need to wait 3 days before brewing. Go with Sweet Maria's for the love of all that is holy. Nice and compact. Love mine, but always looking to next iteration (hot top?)
I use the extension with the 540 and do 8oz and the beans move great and finish in about 12 mins. Without the extension you can only do about 4.5 max. The extension though a bit ackward is fantastic and a game changer for the 540
I bought it primarily for fun and trying new regional veins and it's probably been the only hobby I've ever had that saved me significant money.

I didn't start using them until a couple of months ago when my plumber, of all people, recommended them (he saw my coffee setup and asked if I used Happy Mug). I'm so glad he did.
I personally don't put much stock in the Reddit doxxing accusations. I'm surprised people keep bringing it up, but they do. I did a search looking for it but didn't find anything specific. Happy Mug does have a blog that the owner posts on. In one blog post, he pointedly accused some customers of "stealing" from the company.

It probably wasn't the best approach given the flak they've received, but to me, he comes across as honest and hardworking, so I'm willing to cut him a husk.
To understand where they come from as a company, here's a couple posts that I found interesting.

The blog itself is interesting. Happy Mug beans, prices, and service are fantastic. At the end of the day, that's what matters to me.
I would recommend a different roaster.

I agree. I roasted with a popcorn popper, from the 80s a Westbend and a soup can for a chimney extension, for 7 to 8 years and got a deal on a real coffee. Roaster, a geneCafe and it is night and day difference. And day difference. So much easier, but a popcorn popper is an easier way to start and then maybe stepping up to this or starting with this might be better, but roasting your own coffee is addictive once you get into it

Man this is super tempting.... never considered roasting my own beans until I saw this deal and now I'm reading up on whether this could be my next obsession.
Also wondering if it's worth going with an 800. I like a deal but coffee is super important to me so I'm considering springing for a better option if it's really that much better. Anyone know why the 800 is better? Is it just capacity?
I found a Freshroast SR series at a thrift store a few years back but to this day I haven't used it. I cannot recall which model it is but plan to give it a try out on the deck some sunny weekend. There's an international market out by the airport that sell the raw beans at a reasonable price.
To me there's only two kinds of coffee, fresh roasted and all the rest. 95% of what I drink is in the latter category and there's obviously quality differences within that group, but fresh roasted is a totally different breed of cat, and worth the effort.
