Baking coffee beans the technology of baking coffee beans in a home oven

The hardest part of coffee-related activities is baking coffee beans yourself. When it comes to making high-quality coffee, the freshness of coffee beans is the most important. We all have the experience of buying our own coffee beans from roasters, even once, which is not comparable to making coffee with our own roasted beans. So bake coffee beans in your own kitchen. It's worth a try.

The easiest way is to bake the coffee beans in the oven. The biggest advantage of this is that the temperature can be adjusted so that the smell of roasted coffee will not pervade the home. First, heat the oven to 230 °C and remember to keep the coffee beans well ventilated. Do not spread the beans too thick. After baking for about 10 minutes, observe the color changes, then pay attention to the crackling sound of the coffee beans, and always check the color. When the coffee beans are only a little lighter than you want, remove them from the oven and cool them. The remaining heat will keep the beans hot for another 2-4 minutes.

Or you can buy a home baking stove used on the stove, but the best is a traditional flat pan or popcorn (popcorn) model, which uses a handle to manipulate two vertical sheets of metal inside the machine. these two pieces of metal can rotate coffee beans during baking and can be bought at second-hand stores or good kitchen utensils stores, where you can also buy inexpensive oven thermometers. After the coffee is roasted, take it out of the grill, put it in a heat-resistant bowl, and put it by the window or outdoors.
