When I was working in Japan, I found that many Japanese have the habit of drinking coffee. They liked their coffee freshly ground and mostly black; they said it was best served without sugar or cream. After marriage, since we cooked breakfast at home every day, we also brewed a cup of coffee in a mocha pot.

It always feels like a ritual, with coffee's unique aroma and special bitterness for adults to wake up the brain and start the day's work mode, this is the charm of freshly brewed coffee.

But when I first arrived in Pingtung, I couldn't find freshly roasted coffee beans because I was unfamiliar with the place. In addition, in the program I watched Japan live in the countryside, there was an introduction to how to roast coffee beans at home with my own pan. When I saw this, I immediately asked the Great God of Lone Dog for help, and I found a lot of information.

Now Yahoo or other sites have sold a lot of good quality raw beans, I bought about 250- 300 yuan a kilogram of raw beans. In addition to the purchase of raw beans can control the depth of their own, each origin or each bean has its own characteristics, you can choose your favorite raw beans to bake.

Pour the beans about 2/3 of the way to level a pan and remove the less attractive beans.

Pour the selected beans into a pan and stir fry over medium-low heat.

In fact, the coffee beans feel like fried peanuts, while shaking the pan while stirring with an eggbeater; if you don't have an eggbeater, you can also use a spatula. The important thing is to let the coffee beans heat evenly.

Stir-fry for about 5 minutes and then the color will turn golden. Continue to stir for a few minutes and then you will hear the sound of coffee beans slowly exploding. This is the so-called explosion. At this time, it is a shallow level of cultivation. People who do not like to drink too deep coffee can turn off the heat at this stage.

After a burst, there will be a lot of coffee skin produced, that is, silver skin, take the pot to the balcony or outdoor blowing with your mouth silver skin will fly away.

Because I like to drink deep-brewed coffee myself, I will continue to fry the coffee beans after one explosion. The color of the coffee beans will get darker and darker. After about 2-3 minutes, I can hear the sound of the coffee beans exploding again, which is called the second explosion.

After the second explosion, the color of the coffee beans becomes obviously darker, and the oil of the coffee beans themselves is fried, and the surface will be a little oily. When compared to unroasted green beans, it's clear what happens when coffee beans are stir-fried.

After cooling coffee beans do not immediately ground into powder, placed in a glass bottle after three days and then grinding the best flavor.

After three days, the oil and aroma on the surface of the coffee beans become more obvious.

The aroma of coffee beans can also be clearly smelled when grinding beans.

I use mocha pot to brew coffee, home roasting plus to drink when the coffee aroma is very special, whether it is hot coffee or iced coffee are very good to drink, there is a sense of accomplishment.

Although the uniformity and stability of coffee roasted in a pan at home are certainly not as good as those roasted by professional machines outside, it is because the taste of each roasting will change due to temperature, time, and one's own proficiency. This is also one of the pleasures of home roasting.

If you have a bean grinder at home, I really recommend that you try to roast coffee in your own pan. I guarantee that you will like me and love the taste of your own coffee beans after trying it once!
