This is a perfect little source of information for beginners, thank you for providing it. Husband and I have been stove top roasting with a small Indian wok, a karhai, and an all-steel lid with drilled holes. Stove is gas. Wok has steel handles which allows for an oak dowel or wood strip to run thru the wok handles and lid handle. The wood serves to keep the lid in place so the wok can be shaken up and down vigorously and serves to keep the hands comfortably away from the heat. Wok is about 7.5" size and can handle a 1/2 cup of green beans at a time. Cost of wok was under $10. This set up isn't for someone wanting to roast a pound at a time but still the beans come out perfectly even and we haven't had a single bad roast.

I didn't dislike the video. It is definitely good info for a basic starting point, but I can see why actual coffee roasters wouldn't approve. He say's several things that aren't quite accurate, things that a roast-master or artisan would spot right away. The information he passes along makes it obvious that he doesn't have allot of experience actually roasting coffee, or, if he does, it was at a roastery that only works with one varietal. Allot of what he said is only true for a specific varietal and would not apply to a sumatra or high-elevation Ethiopian varietal, for instance.

Awesome

Makes me rethink how I am roasting. I thought city was much lighter than what I’ve been roasting too. Going to look more at the bean puffiness/split, chaff color and edges to better determine.

Very informative.

It's best to experiment and find what's best since different coffees react differently to roasting but in general, acidic, bitter flavors are usually found in lighter roasts. Bitterness can also be found in roasts that are too dark where you will tend to taste chalky, charcoal flavors.

@1timby; I like the same roasts that you do and I've found different beans create very different flavors. Sumatra is one of my favorites because it has low acidity to begin with. Colombian is also very good when roasted to medium. I also only brew my coffee using the pour-over method which is basically the manual version of a drip. No bitterness at all, just smooth delicious coffee right down to the bottom of the pot. I use both the Chemex brewer and the Hario drip brewer for single cups. Hope this helps.

Thank you !!! :)

Great info thanks 🙏

the basics of coffee roasting is so important. but then brewing the coffee is so important as well. many ways to mess it up if not handled properly.

Arabic coffee after 1st crack and it taste way better than the black coffee

great video thanks :)

Glad I saw this one. Like a Starbucks roast that was mentioned at 3:30, one of my recent roasts (in a popcorn popper) went well into 2nd-crack and several of those 'explosive', crater like divots were created. I hadn't seen those before on any roasts I'd purchased in my many years of coffee consumption; I thought it was either something funky with the batch of beans or more likely the case, too fast of an overall roast. That said, it tasted far better than any Starbucks I'd ever had!

@SweetMariasCoffee

Because it was fresh! When I have been able to spy dates of the bulk bags of Starbucks being dumped into grinders / hoppers at a Starbucks cafe, I saw dates of about 8 months old. Even in the best packaging, nitrogen flushed and bagged right after roasting, that is old!

Interesting! Thanks for allowing us to see the stages. I would of liked to also see what an "over-roasted" or burnt bean would look like. I just tried roasting some Brazilian green beans and my first batch was successful. I got a nice dark roast and it tasted awesomely great! I cooked mine on an iron skillet outdoors, and my first batch was just a quarter of a pound. Then I got over zealous. I decided to try and roast three quarters of a pound using the same roasting method as before. To my dismay the batch was unevenly roasted and I ended up with a light to medium roast. It was under roasted and the taste of it is almost nut-like in flavor. Even the drip coffee maker dispensed a very light brew. There's so much to learn!

Hello, thanks for the video!! I am roasting my coffee (I have a Behmor 2020SR Plus) and never know when to start measuring the time after the 1C. Is it only after the very last crack can be heard? Or should I start measuring the time after the popping is more regular (more seeds)? Thank you very much!

@SweetMariasCoffee

3 жыл бұрын

This can get a little blurry buti it's best to start measuring time around the the time you hear two beans crack very close to each other but however you time it, keep it consistent each roast.

How much moisture should be green and toasted coffee

Every varietal is different. For instance, Sumatras appear much darker for the same level of roast. At first crack they already look like other varietals at full city. The level of the roast is measured more by the temperature and relativity to the "cracks" than by color. Also, some varietals have all their forward flavors released in very light roasts, and others build their flavors as they get farther along in the roast. For every varietal you want to find the "sweet spot" where its own character is more developed. Don't assume, "darker is better or less acidic," because with many varietals all the distinct aromas will go out the exhaust vent instead of into the cup if you go darker. Everything this guy is saying applies only to the specific varietal he's showing in the video, and I didn't hear him identify what kind of coffee bean he's playing with here.

Andin Briwel, I live in Java island near Sumatra island. They have lots of region,i.e. Gayo, Lintong, Kerinci etc all are Sumatrans. The color of level of roast also depends on the process method post harvest. The popular semi-washed Gayo (Sumatrans coffee bean) in my experience is very difficult to be roasted light. There is Gayo coffee bean that is processed natural. This Gayo Natural is easy roasted light, and tastes fruity. Not all people like this taste. Semi washed Gayo roasted medium dark or roasted dark are more common. But this 3rd wave coffee shop starts to give alternatives.

Hi, I noticed that beans that roasted right after the 2nd crack tends to produce more oil on the bean surface after several days of degassed. I spoke to one of the local roaster shop, they encourage to roast the beans before the 2nd crack. One of my family members who drink americano said beans roasted at 2nd crack had lost its fruitiness, in order words, beans that roasted after 2nd crack has "no taste". Since I watched so many videos from KZread where most people roasted beans right after the 2nd crack, what is your thoughts on this?

@SweetMariasCoffee

3 жыл бұрын

It really depends on your preference and the coffee itself but in our opinion, we do agree with your local shop and family member. In general, coffee roasted beyond 2nd crack will lose it's flavor and begin to taste acrid and have a burnt flavor.

Hi, I have a couple of questions：- 1. Does roasting time is critical? Fresh roast is about 8-10 mins, drum takes longer. Which one is better in terms of taste? 2. When I roast my Brazil beans to full city plus, the taste turn out to be sour. What is the reason? Is this due to the beans quality or roasting temperature? How to resolve this? Extend the roast time longer to reduce the acidity level? Note: weight loss is about 15%.

@SweetMariasCoffee

3 жыл бұрын

Good questions. Both the FreshRoast and drum roaster can create really good roasts depending on how you go about your roast curve. Try roasting your Brazil with a lower heat going into 1st crack. This will give you more of an opportunity for an even roast. Also try a longer brew time.

With air roasting, it's really about the roast level and timing your roast by listening for first and second cracks. But, in a nutshell, sub-5 minute roasts may be too short.

At 1:24 it's possible to see some black/brown texture that usually present for me in dense beans like Burundi or Yergacheff . I've thought that this some kind of roasting defect and tried everything to get rid of this but without any success. Is it normal???

Great video bro, do different roasts effect caffeine levels?

@byronsweetmarias6609

9 жыл бұрын

Caffeine is pretty stable at the temperatures used for coffee roasting so the levels don't change much from light to dark roasts. If you are weighing your coffee before you brew it, a darker roast will have more since dark roasted coffee is less dense and requires more coffee to match the weight of lighter roasted coffee.

@ricocampos2752

9 жыл бұрын

Yes! Lighter roasts will always have more caffeine than darker roasts. This is only due to the process of caffeine molecules basically being roasted away as higher temperatures and longer roast times take affect. Now who's to say how much of a caffeine difference there is would probably tell you not much at all

I'm sorry, but why on earth is it city roast, city + roast, city +2 roast, and full city roast? Seems a little repetitive.

@SweetMariasCoffee

A great question! Its a long story, but the most plausible explanation for these old coffee trade terms for roast levels is that there was a style of roasting in New York City that was fairly light, and became a known standard among roasters. So people could use that to compare their roasts ... if you roasted darker than that standard you could say "I roast to Full City". If it seems arcane , I agree. But if people say "I roast my coffee medium", what would that mean? Would it describe anything better than "I roast to City level" ? So without actual color scales/ measurement devices (which also wouldnt work perfectly btw because different coffees roasted to the same degree can have color differences too), we are sorta stuck continuing the City ... Full city tradition. It could be worse , and at least it has a nice history...

Right at second crack, or just a few audible snaps into it, would yield a fully developed roast taste without being carbony/ burnt tasting. The acidity would taste more moderate too, unlike if you roasted to first crack and stopped right away. Like the other commenter wrote, this is Full City roast level

Yes, the beans are Arabica. Arabica beans can vary so much in size and density it's hard to say how fast they will roast but in general, Robusta beans are usually from lower altitudes and if this is the case they will probably roast a little faster than Arabica due to their lower density.
