Why do you want to bake coffee at home?

Why did you start baking coffee at home? Because home-baked coffee is the best way to enjoy the freshness of coffee beans! The reason why you keep emphasizing the importance of freshness, if you have ever compared it, you should know how much the freshness of coffee beans makes a difference in the flavor of brewed coffee. But is home baking really just for the freshness of coffee beans? Because now there are many domestic coffee manufacturers to provide fresh baked beans, fresh to wait for you to confirm the order before baking in the pot, even when you receive it is less than 24 hours from the pot! So what attracts us to bake at home?

Hot, smoky fresh coffee beans

I think the main reason is that through home baking, you can create your own unique flavor according to your own preferences. In addition, home baking can also greatly reduce the cost of drinking coffee. The average consumer doesn't know how fresh "fresh baking" is. Most people don't realize that coffee begins to volatilize after it has been roasted. After a few days, 15-40% of the flavor was lost. Roasted coffee can be kept "semi-fresh" for about 7 days. On the other hand, green coffee beans stay fresh for 2-10 years, according to the storage method. Once the beans are roasted, it is best to keep them in whole bean form until they are brewed. Ground coffee loses its flavor more easily than whole beans.

Home-baked coffee is simple, allowing ordinary coffee lovers to experiment with different types of beans, roasted and mixed to suit their own preferences. Even if it takes you one or two batches of beans to meet your suitable baking requirements, your worst roasting is better than any roasted coffee sold in any store! And you will begin to realize how terrible the high-priced coffee is in those "universal" privileged coffee shops. Their primary goal is to make a profit, not to create the best possible coffee like a family roaster.

The characteristics of getting beans from different regions of the world vary widely, and home roasting allows you to experience these characteristics in the purest form: single roasting, when commercially roasted coffee is hard to find. For example, baked Hawaiian Kona bought from a grocery store is hard to realize how delicious it is, because "Kona" is always mixed with low-cost, shoddy beans to reduce costs. Buy green beans at least half the price of roasted coffee beans of the same quality in a coffee shop.

If we do not try home baking, our understanding and aesthetics of beans will always be restricted by the roaster, and we will not be able to fully understand coffee at all. In recent years, more and more coffee fans have turned to home baking, achieving an effect that used to be achieved only in cafes. Using a variety of methods, from clay pots to iron pans to hand nets and then home roasters, everyone can bake and mix their own freshly roasted coffee beans.
