Love the roasting technique! I've also recently started roasting my own... in an iron skillet. I love it! It's all hands on so you can see, smell, hear, feel and fully experience every stage of the beans. I would like to point out that you never mentioned degassing, or (off-gassing) for at least 3 days after you roast. The coffee should not taste very good if you brew it immediately after roasting. 5 - 16 days after roasting is your flavor peak! 👍👌

I've been weekend roasting to get my week's supply of beans as that all the patience I've had with roasting via my cheap methods (popper and skillet).

You asked, what do I do for coffee. I have been roasting coffee at home for a few years now in a modified Whirley Pop I purchased from Sweet Maria's with a coffee sampler. I modified the Whirley Pop pot with a handle and the cover with a little dc motor. I roast 1lb of coffee each roasting session. I shoot for 12min roasting time and I am always tipping the pot with the motor running throughout the roast. My daily brew is with an Aeropress however, my Cory all glass vacuum brew from 1938 makes an excellent cup. Thanks for the video.

As long as you have a consistent way of roasting that is repeatable then that is the method you stick with.

@@MrWiseinheart I'm a mother, and now a grandma. What's sleep? But yes, joking aside, I do sleep at night. Dark roast coffee contains less caffeine than light roast. Think of a "breakfast" roast, they're generally lighter. An espresso roast is much, much darker. It's a stronger extraction, but it has less caffeine by measuring dry weight. A very dark roast, like an after dinner coffee, is extremely complex, and it is commonly not served with milk. It's a relaxing beverage taken after a heavy meal while you chat and gear down for the night. Caffeine in the bean is a volatile component, and it is easily removed by heat, usually roasting.

Dealing with the chaff is always the hard part and your method with a benign material like silicone would work GREAT: a toaster over on a tv table table in a bath tub in the bathroom with the exhaust vent on, roasting in a silicone pocket and boom - home roasting easily with ventilation and chaff control. For the video I would do it on a balcony or patio or garage and the people like me with their propeller caps screwed on tight will construe the rest of it. :)

I'll have to hunt up those bags and some green coffee! I always hesitated on roasting coffee because I can't be consistent; this method looks like it is. On cleaning your siphon ... hot water will slow the staining, not stop it completely. To remove the stains, use - wait for it - baking soda. Depending on the part, either use baking soda on a damp cloth or paper towel, or soak in a baking soda and water solution. Rinse well, it rinses much more easily than soap.

Thanks for reaching out and for the tips. You need to go as hot as you can in the oven and reduce the roast time. It will make a consistent coffee but it will also be kind of flat. I have found that the more you extend the coffee roasting time for the same roast level, the flatter it becomes. It is still easier than roasting in a pan and you will get consistent results but not just earth shattering coffee

Do you buy specialty organic coffee beans? Supposedly coffee has a ton of pesticides on them. I just read an article on specialty organic coffee that is only 1% of the coffee sold. Have you heard of this before? Just wondering if it's a gimmick or not! Love your videos!!

If it has the USDA Organic label on it, it has to meet certain criteria for pesticide and herbicide control. I'm hoping that those standards are not compromised or that the regulations are not being made looser. Could there be a boutique brand that goes above and beyond USDA standards? I'm sure of it. You have to draw the line where you're comfortable. Thank you for the kindness and all the best!

Interesting roast method but would take far too long for me to do. I just pour about 1/2" of beans in an old fry pan with rounded sides and flip-heat-flip-heat for about 12 minutes or so per batch to get a somewhat dark result. My way isn't perfectly even color but tastes better than the usual ground coffees from the grocery store and the caffeine is still there. :) One thing I've never done is weigh it before and after to see how it truly stacks up against the cost of buying roasted. How much weight is lost in the roasting process? Ahhh well,it's something different to do whenever I feel like it.

Thank you for the coffee bean roasting tip. I noticed you don’t have an Amazon link for the silicone bags, and when I searched Amazon, there was no mention of a Heat resistant silicone bag? I did find a Non-Stick BBQ Grill Mesh Bag that looks like the one shown in your KZread video made with a “PTFE non-stick coating”? PTFE or Teflon® Non-Stick Coatings is now a stable and safe compound, but there are some healthy limits to it. For instance, if you heat the cookware above 300 degrees Celsius or above 570 degrees Fahrenheit, the coating will start to break down. When it happens, toxic chemicals will be free into the air. The action of inhaling these fine particles is dangerous, and it may cause Teflon flu or Polymer Fume fever.

Hi. I just wanted to jump in. You're correct that coffee cherries have the outer skin and pulps to act as a buffer. So pesticide residue is pretty small, although still existing. A bigger and more practical concern is toxins from fungi while seeds are being dried. The industry got pretty good at controlling them, but it can be always an issue for producers that don't pay attention, which brings me to the issue of organic certification. The certification, as far as I know, doesn't guarantee quality control over all the processes involved. And at the same time, the cost for certification process keeps some farms from getting certified even when they practice organic farming. So I want you to have a more comprehensive view on what's "good" coffee. Remember it's an agricultural product, just like a carrot or a cut of beef. Don't get on Amazon and buy a product simply because it's certified organic or from a region that sounds familiar. I know it requires a learning curve, but it is rewarding to pay more attention to different coffees. There are some well-established green coffee sellers, such as Sweet Maria's or Royal Coffee, so you might wanna take a look at their websites too.

I’d have run away from my nutritionist if they went on a rant like that. Yeash!

Try off-gassing your coffee for 4 days after roasting. The coffee will be releasing carbon dioxide immediately after roasting and will taste a bit funny. I recommend using an airtight container with a degassing valve to do this so that it won't oxidize and become stale. The difference is astronomical! 5-16 days resting period will be your peak for optimal flavor! 👍
