Roasting Coffee in a Frying PanWhen I home roast coffee, I use a big frying-pan. I buy my green coffee beans from different parts of the world and then deliver the roasted coffee each day to some of my clients. Equipment Needed
ProcedureThe way I roast coffee is very simple. Place the frying pan on the stove and use a temperature of at least 350F. Add the green coffee beans to the pan. Use the spoon by moving the beans around constantly from top to bottom. Doing this will prevent the beans from burning.
Roast as light or as dark as you like. The picture below shows beans roasted at 8 minutes (top), 12 minutes (bottom right) and 15 minutes (bottom left).
When the beans have roasted as dark as you like, it is now time to cool the beans. Turn off the stove and then spray a little cold water on top of the coffee beans. Now transfer the beans to your cooling tray. Place the cooling tray in an area that will allow it to col quickly, such as near an open window in the kitchen.
