Thanks man. Thinking out loud here. Anyone who likes coffee and likes to cook should try this. If you love coffee and love to cook there’s absolutely no reason not to.

Im sold! Just bought the roasting stovetop starter kit. Been looking into roasting my own coffee mainly cuz it is way cheaper to buy green coffee and roast it myself. Also, it seems fun and threptic to roast it my self

I began home roasting about 4 years ago with the SR540 and now the SR800 w/extension. I saw this video and thought it would be a fun experiment to try. I bought a crank kettle and roasted some 12oz green today and it came out perfect on my first try. Thanks.

Thank you Sweet Marie's . Roasting your Costa Rica Tarrazu On the popcorn popper first time I roasted coffee. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW THANK YOU for your video and the order . I'll be ordering again and experiencing really great coffee.

This was a great video. I bought the kit with this roaster and it came out perfect. Did a full pound on the side burner of the gas grill outside. First crack at 8:30, pulled it off at 12:15 for a full city roast. Cranked the handle the entire time and had no scorched beans.

That was great. I started with a Fresh Roast and quickly upgraded to a Behmor which has been making great coffee for more than a decade-but I have always been curious about stovetop. I am often asked how I roast coffee, and saying I use a coffee roaster sounds like a smartass answer so this is great to see and a nice reference to make confident, inexpensive recommendations. Thanks so much for sharing this start to finish.

Love love love these videos!!! I bought a victorio from you folks about a year ago and it’s been amazing! I really like the demos and especially when you show how to roast different beans. Double thumbs up!

I roast like this all the time. Great video. Best practice is to roast half a pound at a time. I’ve roasted at least 200 lbs of coffee over the last few years. I use the thermometer in the initial heat up of the pan 300 to 350 degrees. Set the timer and go. I use a stopwatch timer on my phone. Peaberry roast well because there are no flat spots on the bean/seed.

I like this. I did manually roasting for 2 years before I purchased my boehmor. With the boehmor I can never heard when the crack occurs. That is what I miss about manual roasting.

Very nice demonstration, this is the method I have been using for years and have had very good results, I have went through a few different roasters because usually the gears eventually wear out, I am very interested in the one you are selling and will go buy one now. Thanks for another fantastic video. Edit forgot to mention I use a large stainless steel bowl and a BBQ wired basket and pour from one pan to the other to eliminate the chaff and cool the beans, Such a good deal on these poppers buying mine now

I really enjoyed this video . . . and learned a lot. Thanks.

I like to roast with a heavy stainless pot on induction heat. I get a grassy smell at first then it's French Toast as it yellows, then smoking and cracking. Stirring is done with a spatula, constantly. Best coffee I've ever tasted a day or two later. One half pound at a time works well for me.

COOLING THE FRESHLY ROASTED BEANS -- If you have a couple of bowls which can hold the quantity of beans with enough space to spare, you can precool them either outside or in refrigerator; and then pour the hot beans into one and pour back-and-forth between these bowls. This may cool the beans faster than spreading onto a pan first. A third bowl also helps. Pouring into the bowls also gives a good opportunity to blow most of the chaff from the beans.

Yes, I put 2 colanders in the freezer. then pour from one to the other until cool enough. About 170F.

Thank you. I have been roasting on stovetop for a few weeks now. I am using a stainless steel wok. I appreciate how you describe the changing of the beans, the influence of temperature and time regarding the length of first Crack.

excellent video! I finally figured out the best way for me to cool down the beans and remove the chaff. I take the popper outside to the BBQ, do the roasting there. when the beans at at that perfect stage I pour them into a metal colander and then gentle cool the beans off with my air compressor. I suspect not FDA approved but works great!

Thanks. I use this roaster and follow a similar process, although I keep the size to 1/3 pound. I'll try a larger batch next time!

Nice! This is how I roast. But with the aluminum one. And outside. I find my roast is more even by cranking about twice as fast as you are. I think this is a great way to learn how to roast using all your senses. I find a good flashlight is helpful to get a good view of the beans for keeping track of the color. Loved watching this!

When I first saw this video I thought, yay, I can use my aluminum popper, but then, oh, his is a thicker, stainless steel popper. Then I read your post! Yay, I think I'll try it!

Thanks for sharing great idea

for smoke, I have a 400cfm hood. Works well enough for the boehmor.

Nice Roasting Demonstration for a way to roast on stove! From what I can tell, going to the end of first-crack gives a coffee which is dark roast, tastes like charcoal, and is weak in flavor.

I have been roasting in a cast iron Dutch oven with a wire whisk to stir. Do you think it’s losing too much moisture without a cover?

Not at all. You actually want moisture to escape as you roast.

Love the A/B camera setup but maybe you could mute the mic volume on the B cam? There's a doppler effect to the audio that makes some of the quieter sentences harder to understand

After weeks of research, I'm trying to decide between this VKP pot or an SR540 with extension tube, which will make the best-tasting coffee? That's the most important thing to me.

Honestly both roasters have the ability to produce equally delicious coffee but he SR540 will offer you more control so you will have a better shot at replicating your roasts

Does this have a similar result as a drum, flavor-wise

@SweetMariasCoffee

It's possible but due to the way the heat is distributed roasts will probably lean a little more to the brighter side.

Venting ?

Stovetop roasting creates a lot of smoke so it's a good idea to roast under a hood vent or near a window with a fan.

This was a great video. I bought the kit with this roaster and it came out perfect. Did a full pound on the side burner of the gas grill outside. First crack at 8:30, pulled it off at 12:15 for a full city roast. Cranked the handle the entire time and had no scorched beans.
