How To Roast Coffee Beans At Home For That Perfect Cup
You can roast green coffee beans at home for the perfect coffee shop taste. The flavor from the coffee shop can be brought to your own home with these simple instructions.
You can buy green coffee beans at most high end coffee shops. A lot of the shops have their own roasting machine right in the shop and they keep 50 pound bags of fresh, green coffee beans in stock.
Whole green coffee beans
Many of those shops will sell you green coffee beans by the pound. And then you can roast them yourself as needed for a perfect, fresh tasting cup of coffee just like the pros.
I used to just drink the cheapest coffee I could buy. I walked past those coffee shops, thinking they were just over priced and a waste of money. But one day I tried a cup at one of those places and my life was changed forever.
The flavor and quality of that cup of coffee I never forgot. From then on, I was looking for ways to bring that flavor home. I could never find out how they got such good tasting coffee. I kept buying ever more expensive coffee grounds and kept trying different ways to prepare my coffee but I never got it right.
Then I started to to grind my own coffee beans and I was getting there. The flavor was better than from coffee grounds. But it was still not just right.
Once you grind coffee beans, it should be used up within a day or so. The flavor starts to change the the coffee goes stale right away. By the time you buy coffee in cans at the grocery store, the stuff is already quite stale. You just cannot get a perfect cup of coffee from a can of ground coffee.
Whole coffee beans on the other hand taste a lot better. But it was still missing something.
I studied online for years and I finally found the answer. You have to roast your own coffee beans at home for that perfect flavor.
And here is how you do it:
.
.
You need to roast your fresh, green coffee beans at about 475 to 500 degrees F and keep them rotating and stirred up often. I use a popcorn popper to roast my coffee beans. This gives me both the temperature and also the rotation.
You want to roast the coffee beans evenly so stirring or rotating constantly is the best. My popcorn popper has a rotating bar which stirs the coffee beans the entire time.
Your coffee beans will snap and pop a little bit like popcorn. There are two stages of snapping. After the second stage the beans are smelling like fresh coffee.
At this point you want to start to watch the color of your roasted coffee beans. It would help to have some of your favorite whole coffee beans on hand to compare the color. When your roasted coffee beans reach that perfect color, then you have to move to the next step.
This part must be done rapidly.
.
.
Fresh home roasted coffee beans
You need two baking pans and either a fan or the wind blowing outside. Take everything outside and quickly transfer the beans from one pan to another, blowing off the chaff. This is a waste by product which you do not want.
Keep moving the beans around to cool them rapidly. You want to stop them from roasting inside or they will continue to change in flavor, color and quality.
Let your coffee beans sit overnight to develop their full flavor.
Enjoy a fresh, full flavored cup of coffee at home.

Mmmmmmmmm...artificial consciousness in a cup! d=O)
Yes - good stuff :)
Very informative article .... I'm not a coffee drinker but my partner is, however I do love the smell while it is brewing.
Thank you. I love coffee so much. I love the taste, smell and feeling I get when waking up drinking it. I am addicted :)
I do not drink coffee, but if I did this would be an intertesting to do! Another great post, resteemed!
Thank you. I am addicted to coffee. I love it. Love the smell of it in the morning.
SO HERR REID ,TELL US HOW YOU CAN BE SUPRISED THAT A NEIGHBOR TOLD YOU IT SNOWS ALL WINTER IN michigan , but yet you have ststed before in your videos that you grew up in michigan .......... how is this so ???
Well, as you know, the further you drive up north, the more snow you get. Its a different world for me here now. Never came up much in winter. Could not drive the roads. They dont plow much here.
Seems everywhere you live you seem to have your own climate system.
Well, it is funny you say that. Yes, when you move, there is alway a new climate.
@thediyworld Why do you have to be so obtuse? It’s just one of many reasons why most people can’t stand you. The constant lying doesn’t help much either.
And if you did not like me, leaving would be the best solution.
Harassing my family online and in the real world is criminal.
doesn't sound like a climate for a off grid homesteader. You claim you can't do anything when snow is on the ground- even gave up brushing snow off your solar panels. The electric and propane bills to heat that shack must be outrageous and you can't have a winter garden- something a homesteader relies on for food. Soil is sand that doesn't hold moisture or nutrients but you chose that place in a depressed area of Michigan thinking it would be a great place to what???? Doesn't sound like a place anybody would want to live.
I dont see the problem with my answer. The problem is that you guys cannot understand that the climate can vary based on elevation, location and nearby bodies of water.
Or the fact that its all sand here which does not hold the heat of the day. At night it gets colder here fast.
Its just common sense weather stuff.

no troy he didn't say you always have a new climate when you move... he said you always seem to have a different climate than every around you such as your neighbors no matter where you are... your problems start with your lack of comprehension skills... now why is it michigan is a different world to you when you regularly claim you grew up there???

Or, do you mean driven out because of so much constant harassment?
Yes, certainly that is what you meant.
People were coming out to our land 2 to 3 nights a week harassing us.
Melanie was terrified to go outside anymore.
Yeah, you are a big boy now huh?
Drove us off. I bet you feel good about yourself.
With a pregnant wife I had to move out.
you make money with all your camera equipment but not once in the 2 or 3 times a week people trespassed on the dumpsite did you get film footage of it. You filmed every little tiny boring thing you did but something that was fixing to cause you to leave what you worked so hard for you couldn't get anything on video????? Who is that stupid that they even think someone would believe them? YOU
NO REID. YOU DROVE YOURSELF OFF BY BITING OFF MORE THAN YOU COULD CHEW. YOUR INCOME DROPPED AND YOU COULDNT KEEP UP WITH THE 1500 A MO. LAND PAYMENT. BOY DID SHE EVER SUCKER YOU. LOL. YOU WERE EVICTED BECAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE YOU CAUSED HER BESIDES THE LAND PAYMENTS. I HOPE SHE SUES YOU FOR CUTTING DOWN HER TREES BESIDES THE CLEANUP COSTS OF THAT SHITHOLE YOU CREATED.
The cabin is different that my parents place. This area is different from where I lived in the past.
How hard is that for you guys to comprehend?
Just leave my blog and go play on your own.
I appreciate the offer to leave your blog but I am no quitter, I will stick it out here for you. So many really good off grid homesteader sites and then there is yours- useless information you make up in your delusional mind and swear its all true. Watch any of the other homesteaders and learn some things to improve your site. It could only improve.
Remaining here and harassing us in the real world and online is criminal
@troyreidlies..............
as a world traveler- your words, you are not familiar with the state you grew up in? No one ever mentioned the severe winters further north? No weather reports on tv of northern Michigan? Something so basic as knowing your home state and you fail miserably at it.
You guys would deny if I said the sky was blue.
You guys would have a fit and scream I did it wrong if I helped an old lady cross the road.
Your constant harassment of myself and my family online and in the real world is criminal.
let's face it, trog could live on a tropical island and complain about the sand, salt water, damn fish everywhere, sun, wind, palm trees, rain, heat, well you know- everything we all deal with on a regular basis and don't complain. He wants the sympathy donations
Troy is what the "boy who cried wolf" grew up to be
@bigjeff.......... yet he professes to have grown up in michigan ????? if that is so then why is it a different world to him ???? why would he have to ... come up in winter ....... if he grew up there .
I cannot believe you are so bull headed as to not understand that the further North you go, the harsher the climate. Therefore it is unfamiliar weather to us here.
bull headed is a man wanting to be self sufficient on his own land and buying property in another area (NY was harsh- remember) and not check out the conditions and see if they fit your homesteading intention. Sitting in your house in those long Michigan winters does not look conducive to being self sufficient with a family. Just the heating bills should have been a clue. Did you go to school?
remember trog fancies himself as a world traveler(remember the news article about the sad little American prepper in Austrailia?) But he had no idea a few miles north of where he was hatched is snows a lot. Mind blowing
@troyreidlies ............. you mean this one ????? Here is the entire article form the UK NEWSPAPER THE DAILY MAIL ...............
A defeated New Yorker has shared his anguish at trying to become a 'survival expert' in the middle of a scorching Australian summer.
In the eight minute clip, a sunburned and sweating Troy Reid, who describes himself as an 'off the grid survival expert', describes his battles with the Australian summer.
The candid clips were filmed on a property in northern New South Wales in December 2013, during the state's hottest summer on record.

that's a load of BS troy. michigan has one of the highest budgets for snow removal and they do the best and most frequent snow removal than any other state. i used to live in michigan for 9yrs so i should know. also you said you "grew up" in michigan meaning you lived there year round. but here you are claiming you never went there much in the winter. so which is it troy? did you grow up there or did you only visit in summer time? which version of your stories is the lie troy reid @thediyworld ? ? ?
The cabin dimwit
@8:45 in your latest video: "I've got to get some wires in here and start running some D.C. power in the house today and start burning some of that energy, 'cause I've got, ahh, 270 watts of power out there and I'm not even touching it now."
"That's good news now to finally have those batteries topped off now."
More evidence that you’re not 95% off grid or even close to that. You’ve been lying again! You’re also burning propane, that woodstove is either not being used or is ineffective. Burning wood doesn’t result in thick ice deposits on the inside of a window.
https://hooktube.com/watch?v=1z5T3gwMvMs
HUGE difference between AC and DC power. But what should I expect from a common troll.
All you do is twist things around. I should not expect better. My bad.
your words- "we are 95% off grid and soon to be fully off grid. How can we have twisted that statement you said many times and most of your previous videos you started out in your blog saying the same thing. Now you don't say it or write it. Looks like the lying is smacking you in the face and paycheck.
I have been using AC solar power for many months now. I have not had DC solar power connected to the tiny house yet.
That is quite clear from my videos.
And boy you have a lot to learn about cold and warm air meeting.
I dont know where you get that windows cannot freeze with a wood stove.
Strange idea you have.
But then you just twist everything anyway.
”All you do is twist things around.“
Lol, you’re the king of twisting things. You’re caught up in so many twists of lies you don’t know whether you’re coming or going.
wood stoves have to be hooked up and vented before you can use them. The fact yours is sitting in a corner with no chimney hints at the fact you don't heat with wood and use electric heat and propane heat. Not off grid by any stretch of the imagination. Actually means you are a deceptive liar.

I made a nice post about coffee last night and you didnt upvote me. I thought you said if it was positive id get a upvote. It was topic related.I guess up votes only go to your new followers? I was nice. Bah hum bug.
Well, the thing is that last time I up voted comments from one of your friends, he slammed me with a down vote.
It is sad because I really want to do good for everyone.
ACTUALLY THE CHAFF CAN BE ADDED TO YOUR COMPOST BIN AND THEN CEASES BEING A WASTE BY-PRODUCT
Well, that is true but it would be hard to salvage the fluff. It is not really a waste by product when all natural plant material is added back into the soil through my method.

The best coffee ive ever had was a local private owned coffee shop using a french press. The taste is nothing in comparison to mcds, and grocery food bought coffee. Black silk was good but something is different with it.
I love french press coffee. The french press gives you more flavor
Oops. There were a few too many down votes on my comment. Had to fix that.
I truly would prefer to be out in the community spreading the love rather than fighting a down vote war.
or working on your homestead. Most farmers would never think to spend 12 hours a day playing on the computer when so many things outside need attention. I bet you are claiming another injury or sickness so Ming Bling doesn't leave you.
Nope. I am feeling pretty good. I make a living online.
The homestead is under snow right now.
Under the snow, so there's nothing to do? Wow. You don't even think like a homesteader, let alone work like one. There's a TON of stuff you could be doing. But you're an Internet addict now. There's no helping you. When will you post the video showing how you insulated the battery box and put a lid on it? When will you show how you protected your indoor inverter mounted outdoors? Do you melt in the snow?
I make a living online first.
I will be working on all those things when I can. I will not open the battery box during snow or rain.
Making a few dollars but not able to sustain the basics for your family is not making a living. You are obviously miserable at how your internet job has failed you and its not Ming Ting's fault or the kid's fault- it you who can't afford a tree for the kid's first Christmas. If I was such a failure at life the last thing I would do is create a youtube or steemit account and show the world how badly I have failed at everything I ever tried to do. Makes me suspect your claims of being "very rich" in Germany when a few short years later you landed on a lady's property with an old beat up RV someone gave you and a gay little lime green or teal colored crappy Honda. How does one believe your story when what we see is a man who can't make it in the real world so he created a fake homestead like a movie set. Once people realized it was all lies the tuned out. See a trend here?
Actually I was doing great until you guys started harassing my family online and in the real world.
Wheres my up vote? You said if a post is positive you would up vote it. You didnt. Guess saying that was your way of baiting people in? 9 hrs ago I made a on topic post and still no up vote. Yet you were on here commenting.
" If you help me i'll help you make money". Not true. 9 hrs later . Youre a mean one upvoting Mr Grinch.
If I up vote you, your reputation will go up. You have been trolling me all this time.
If you were to start playing nice always, I will start to up vote your comments
@thediyworld thats ok i will upvote imraindrops ........... right before i flag your post .
@imraindrops here is an upvote for you that comes with $0.06 please enjoy on me :) it is a shame that troy reid always down votes irregardless of the comment if he has power to do so. you clearly see in his comment to you that he will not upvote anyone because he is afraid it will increase their rep and he wants to remain on top. sadly for troy reid i will surpass him in days as i have accomplished twice as much in half the time as troy reid.
Trog's been on his virtual delete key again,
ROFLMAO.

Thank you! @fixedbydoc great video I recently watched of you on tv! Great info!
so you live in horrible poverty and deny your viewer paid wife the basics of comfort but you get expensive coffee? Priorities man, priorities
Very sad. If you think so low of me and my wife, then just please leave us alone. You are not forced to follow me.
Actually you are not wanted here. Leave.
hes not including your wife. its you hes talking about being such a selfish asshole. quit clouding the issue and address his statement. try this bullshit in court by not giving a direct answer truthfully and the judge is gonna whack your peepee.
I will grow on you. I watch a lot of YT creators and not one is lazier or dishonest or dependent on handouts and begging for their survival. You are such an odd ball I enjoy watching you screw up everything you touch (except the kid- I hope she gets a new home soon) No other creator lies like you do then denies it even with a video to prove it. Please up vote this comment so I can make real money as you promised me.
I never promised you anything. You are not wanted here. You use my real world name to harass me on my own blog. I will never vote you up.
But harassing me is illegal and criminal.
If you do not like us then simply leave.
And I upvote myself so that all of the down votes from you and your friends do not gray my own comments out on my own blog.
Stop down voting my comments. I will stop up voting my own comments.
I believe that sounds fair enough.
Then I can be off to other bloggers voting on their articles as it should be.
And then you wont be so upset with me making money off of voting of my own comments.
Ok?
Won't work, sorry. I'm am going to do as you did and open several more steemit accts. More accts- more voting power. You showed me that. You still just have 4 accts or have you opened more? Do you really think if I stopped down voting you that you would stop voting your own? Liars can't be trusted- ever. Like the cat crying video where you chewed out people for saying it was your kid then you finally wised up and saw your lie wasn't working so you changed your story. By the way, where are all your devoted YT fans? I was looking forward to meeting them.
You see, you are the one harassing me.
f you guys were not on here all the time I would not even be a big as I am today.
I am not out harassing anyone.
We simply make videos of our daily lives.
soon i will have the ability to grey even you out troy reid. but i wont abuse it like you do. i will simply grey out your slander and fraud. 34 days and ive moved up the ranks twice as fast as you have here. that should tell you something...
You are on my blog harassing me.
Dont like what I say - then LEAVE!!!!
You have NO right to harass me or my viewers!!!!
Get back to your own blog!!!!
@thediyworld ............ aint gonna happen PASTOR REID , how long is the trip to canada where you pastor in the CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLIES INTERNATIONAL MEETING HOMES ???
I am no pastor of anything. Very odd.
There.
Same goes for you.
Stop down voting my comments.
I stop up voting my comments.
I can then give my curation rewards to other people instead of myself.
That is what I would prefer anyway.
So give it a shot.
Comprehension has never been a strong suit with you.
Now that was not fair. I did not down vote you but you did to me.
face it troy you upvote your comments for the money you hope to gain. You are not in this for anyone else but you. Even your blogs prove its all about you and need everyone's help but you help no one. Never have and never will.
Nope. Try me and see. I truly invited my YouTube viewers over here so I can help them.
I hope to help them grow.
I want to share what I have gained on here.
I do not want to continue to up vote my own comments.
Stop down voting me and see.
But that goes for everyone. I mean no more down votes on my stuff and I dont up vote my stuff.
It is not proper on here anyway. I dont like it. I dont want to continue.
I want to go out and up vote other people for their work rather than waste my time on here fighting with you guys.
So you are now seeing the error of your ways- start out thinking you can ramrod your phony crap to new viewers and they won't see through it. Now it turns out trolls are your only viewers and you can't face facts. I would never have worked at a job where strangers could effect my income. I always needed to pay the mortgage, the car notes, all the things we wanted in life and to pick a job where when you are known as a whinny liar people can effect your salary, not gonna happen but good luck turning the mess you caused around. I might mention I am a loyal patron on 3 sites and I learn a lot from them. You don't know enough to research before spouting bull that is easily disproved. You have done that since day one and haven't learned from it.
I dont understand your point. I was just talking about voting.

Well, I think that making videos, writing articles and maintaining websites is not unjust in any way.
The unjust thing is you guys trying to destroy my sources of income.
You are a phony. Playing the pitiful little man that claims the world is against him. Look around and see what happens when you stand on your own two feet and stay clear of any poor me comments. Your believably would improve and people don't want to hear you have trouble with trolls, most will read a few comments to see what the trolls are talking about. You have been here 5 years and your crap just gets deeper and now you have involved a wife and kid in your mess. Step away from the internet and get a job to support them and you all would be happier. I think you are addicted to the internet and don't see the real world you have let crumble around you.
You have NO right to tell me how to make my living.
You are also showing the World just how real the harassment is.
How about this:
You and your friends step away from ME.
Leave me alone.
Let me make my living in peace.
