Home roasted coffee beans

In order to enable the master to quickly grasp the skills of iron pot baking, I have summarized it into a concise guide to ten steps:

1. Open your range hood or kitchen window. Keep all the items you need within reach.

2. Measure 9 ounces of raw coffee beans, or 12 ounces in a larger pot.

3. Cover the pan and preheat the wok over low heat. Measure 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 degrees Celsius) through an oven thermometer placed in the pan and keep it unchanged.

4. Take out the thermometer, pour the raw beans into the pan, cover the pot, put on the heat insulation gloves and start to shake the wok.

5. This is the most intuitive but also the roughest and most chaotic way of baking. You need to shake the frying pan to connect with the behavior of raw beans. Carefully distinguish between explosive sound and fragrance for about 5 minutes. Wait a moment and open the lid of the pot to check the color.

6. The excessively high temperature can scorch the coffee beans, so it is best to fine-tune the flame after an explosion. Because the baking process will probably continue to require the coffee beans to cool completely, you need to pour the coffee beans into a metal sieve pan in advance when the color of the beans is slightly lighter than you need.

7. Stir the beans in a metal sieve pan with a large spoon until the temperature is low enough that you can touch them. You may need to wear insulation gloves to prevent scalds. Doing this outside will help cool down faster.

8. If the beans are still covered with light-colored silver skins, simple stirring and blowing will easily remove them. Please finish this process outdoors or in the sink, or you will have to prepare to sweep the floor.

9. Beans should be kept away from light in sealed glass jars (not refrigerated), but for freshly baked beans, it will take 12 hours for them to discharge CO2 before sealing.

10. Freshly roasted warm beans are the most dreamy, but the best flavor of coffee beans is 4-24 hours after baking. If you can keep it according to the way you eat it. We can all call it novelty coffee beans in 6 days.

The moment you open the coffee can the next morning, you know the true meaning of novel coffee. All this can be done with a small iron pot, so what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
