In recent years, such a phenomenon has become popular: many friends are gradually not satisfied with buying coffee beans to brew at home, so they begin to buy raw beans and start messing around at home.

Although some manufacturers have launched many small bean dryers suitable for family use, many friends who have always adhered to the spirit of experiment are not interested in this! So there are all kinds of ways to bake at home.

First of all, stir-fry slowly in an iron pan! But in this way, all the coffee beans could not be heated evenly, so some people began to roast with black sand like stir-fried chestnuts.

Later, some people said that stir-frying with an electric rice cooker can be heated more evenly without black sand. Because the grain roaster looks like an electric rice cooker! So the code clerk's friend tried...

U1s1, stir-frying coffee beans in an electric rice cooker is really feasible! The whole process must be stirred slowly and clockwise & deal with the silver skin in time, and don't let my mother see it.

Later, everyone turned to the oven. There are many ovens with roast chicken function that can be rotated. Just modify the chicken grill / buy a special rotating cage.

The advantage of baking in the oven is that the temperature can be adjusted according to the state of the coffee beans, and the heating will be more uniform. But the disadvantage is that the silver skin can not be dealt with in time, open the oven door will immediately lose temperature.

And then later, the air oven can not escape everyone's "claws". According to the feedback from the friends who have tried, among the existing unprofessional baking methods, the air fryer is the most reliable for the time being! Because the heating will be more uniform, and you can take it out and shake off some silver skin quickly.

Seeing this, the code clerk still thinks that the way people cook coffee beans at home is still so reasonable. Until the other day. In the latest video of James Hoffmann (2007 WBC Champion), he does what many people have always wanted to do, but has not done it because of his love for bean grinders!

"Fried coffee beans"

At the beginning of the video, JHoffmann said: when normal people hear that I want fried coffee beans, their hearts are broken! But he has wanted to do it for a long time, because someone did it in the coffee forum many years ago.

He said that the way many people cook coffee beans at home (such as special roasting machines, ovens and air fryers) is to bake beans with hot air, using thermal convection, thermal radiation and heat conduction. let the coffee beans produce a series of Maynard and caramelization reactions.

On the other hand, the fryer does not have so much bilibala, and the direct hard core exerts the heat conduction efficiency incisively and vividly, because the hot oil can effectively transfer the heat to the raw beans. In this regard, adhering to the experimental spirit of "others dare not dare me to do it", he began what he had been curious about for many years.

This time he used a professional fryer and the oil temperature was set at 170 degrees Celsius (not too hot to be on the safe side). This time use 100g Ethiopian water to wash beans (no purpose, with fate, 100g because of fear of too much oil temperature drop).

Then choose a small aperture net pocket, but due to the different sizes of Essel beans, some coffee beans can still pass through the net pocket. So during the whole frying process, he didn't dare to shake around for fear that the beans would not be picked up. As the coffee bean surface is very water, so the coffee beans after the pot is not as crackling as everyone thought.

Fried for 10 minutes, the coffee beans began to turn to milk chocolate, and then he said: um. The temperature is not enough! Let's keep frying for a while. After all, I haven't done it, and there is no literature on how fried coffee beans are ripe or not, and coffee beans don't crack and swell like hot-air-baked coffee beans.

Without an explosion, the god just relied on the color of the coffee beans to change, fried with the edge for not knowing how long, and then directly fished it up, and then, at the risk of being hot, first used kitchen paper for preliminary oil absorption.

Then use clean tea towels for secondary oil absorption and hand-held fans to cool the coffee beans and try to blow off the silver skins. Obviously, there is not much silver skin, because it is stuck by oil.

Are the coffee beans ripe or unripe this time? Ripe! And the color of bean watch and bean core are unexpectedly consistent! Because the fried coffee beans are oily from the inside out, he also grinded the finished product with the heart of sacrificing a hand grinder that had been used for several years.

After grinding, the dry aroma of coffee smells like herbaceous flavors, just like French fries. Although the particles of coffee beans show the size of fine sugar after grinding, because there is not much change in density in the structure of coffee beans during frying, the water flows through the coffee particles for a long time, and the powder bed after extraction is like a quagmire.

For such a scene, JHoffmann tried a mouthful after doing a good job in psychological construction. "Oh, my God! I'm not sure. Take another sip! I was conquered! "

He said it tasted good! Unlike the very popular flower-and-fruit-flavored coffee beans, fried coffee beans are delicious. Very attractive! He has been conquered by the smell! Then continued to show off a few mouthfuls

Is there really nothing to be picky about fried beans? Yes, if you want to talk about defects, it may be a little grassy and underdeveloped. But the taste is not fat, not greasy, not strange, there seems to be sour taste, soft and silky taste.

At the end of the video, JHoffmann said he had no intention of encouraging people to try fried coffee beans, but fried coffee can turn the originally amazing coffee into an unamazing cup of coffee, but unexpected new shock. To put it simply, yes! Just give it a try! ) all right! I'm just kidding. Just take a look.

As a result, some netizens really tried and left this paragraph:

"I tried it last night, and then I swore to myself that the first thing I did after unblocking was to go to England and slap him in the face."

All right, hurry up and try it. When I buy a tea bowl to grind, the code clerk will join the formation to try!
