How To Roast Coffee Beans Using an Air Fryer

Roasting coffee beans at home just got faster and more accessible with an air fryer that includes a roasting function. Roasting coffee beans in an air fryer is a quick process, taking less than fifteen minutes.

Here's our quick guide to the process:

1. Prepare the Beans: Place coffee beans in a single layer of parchment paper in the air fryer basket.

2. Preheat: Preheat the air fryer for up to 5 minutes to 375°F (190°C).

3. Roasting Time: Roast the beans for 6-12 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.

4. Even Spacing: Spread a layer of coffee beans in the air fryer basket, ensuring even spacing.

5. Shake It Up: Shake the basket periodically while roasting unless your air fryer comes with a drum or moving arm attachment.

6. Darkness Level: Roast beans until they reach the desired darkness, from light to dark.

   • For a light roast, remove beans when they become golden brown.

   • For a medium roast, wait until the beans are medium to dark brown.

   • For a dark roast, continue roasting until the beans are nearly black.
