Bob has been roasting our coffee beans for nearly ten years. It’s sort of a money-saving venture because green beans cost less than half of roasted beans, and they stay fresh at room temperature for years.
This is Bob’s coffee drawer. He has a few ten lb bags of green beans, and two jars of freshly roast coffee. He says that after the beans are roasted, they need to stay in a jar for three days for optimal flavor development.
This is our current home roaster, the i-Roast 2... Read Full Story

Mike and Dave Hartkop had been eyeing their father's abandoned satellite dish in the garage for years. But it took an especially productive night of brainstorming at the local pub to come up with an idea that tapped into their respective interests in coffee and solar energy to put that dish to good use. The Solar Roaster was born.
The first version of the Hartkops' solar coffee-bean roaster was built by attaching several hundred homemade plastic mirrors... Read Full Story
For something different pictures of my recent home diy coffee roasting with a popcorn popper. How did it go? Good but the beans are way over roasted and any longer they would of been black which isn’t so cool haha but that’s expected. I became interested with roasting coffee through the coffeesnobs forum where many people seem to be doing it to enjoy freshly roasted beans (obviously) but also save a few bucks. Through buying green beans through coffeesnobs you’re looking at around $25 per 2... Read Full Story

My supply of decent roasted coffee is at dangerously low levels, so my daughter and I spent a short time roasting coffee today. There are some great books and online resources for coffee roasting, but in a nutshell, here's my simple method (purists will cringe; you can be much more precise about all of this. I overroasted mine a bit today):
I used a hand-cranked stovetop popcorn popper , a stove (I roast on the side burner of my gas grill to keep the smoke out of the house), a high... Read Full Story

I have been talking a lot lately with people about roaster sizes and why we chose our roasting equipment. Since there are about 5 new coffees arriving over the next 3-4 weeks, this is a good time to address some roaster nonsense. I spend a lot of time worrying about how large is too large in regards to our long term goals. There are many reputable roasting outfits that are what I would think of as very large. The problem is that they are not quite large by general industry standards but by a... Read Full Story
