☕️ Quick Coffee Facts

Why You’re Probably Roasting Coffee Beans Wrong at Home

☕️ Select the Best Green Beans: Choose high-quality green coffee beans with uniform size and color, and avoid defective beans. Consider the type of coffee you want to make and research the origin, processing method and flavor notes from specialty suppliers.

🧤 Equip Yourself for Success: Invest in a decent roaster, thermometer, and cooling apparatus to ensure a smooth roasting process. Don't forget heat-resistant gloves to protect yourself from burns.

🔥 Master the Roasting Process: Preheat your roaster to 350°F, add green beans, and monitor the temperature and color change. Aim for a medium roast, cool the beans quickly, and track every roast to perfect your profile.

🚨 Avoid Common Roasting Mistakes: Don't under-roast or over-roast your beans, and ensure adequate temperature control and roasting time. Poor airflow, cooling, and lack of experience can lead to flavor defects.

📦 Store Your Beans Properly: Cool roasted beans quickly, allow them to degas and store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Use one-way valves to maintain flavor and aroma, and avoid using glass jars that let light ruin the beans.
