I just started roasting and I am using a convection stove. Spread the green beans on a grid in one layer and not too dense. 240°C / 12 to 16 minutes. You have to turn the grid at least once (no, not upside down) or stir the beans now and then. That gives a pretty even roast.
Excellent. Thanks. Obviously, most of us are limited to the first two options, number 2 being preferred. What I would like to see is a _detailed_ technical video series about modifying popcorn machines for controlled heating and fan function, and then how to use a modified machine regarding temperature.
Roasting coffee is an art! I normally roast it on an stainless skillet and two wooden spatulas( I found the best roast is to start the stove at 4/10 for a few minutes while stirring the beans and then I drop it at 2.5/10. It takes a lot of time but the roast is amazing(and I don't burn the beans). Today I received an oven toaster(convection) and a coffee roasting cylinder : I'm about to try it! The difference is I'm not going to hook it up to sensors and to a laptop!!! You are like the black belt of coffee roasting!
Hi thank you for your comment. I have been trying to roast but with higher temperature (6/10) the entire time with lots of stir and usually it take 15 min but I don't get 100% even color and sometime some beans are burnt. So does your method give an even roast and the bean is fully cooked that the white middle line disappear? If yes please try to help me here
I use a popcorn popper as well. It has proper air circulation so I don't have to mix the beans by hand, it does that by itself and I've had no issues with not mixing it manually. This allows me to put some lid to catch the shells that fly everywhere otherwise and it's really clean and effective method. Afterwards I spread the beans on a plate or something and put them to freezer for a while. With pan roast I always have the issue that the "open" side of the bean tends to burn, popcorn machine results in a really nice even roast.
Would be an idea to add a switch or maybe even a pot on the element of the popcorn maker. I'm tempted to take apart mine just to see how easy it would be.
A wok seems perfect. Also, I would probably like to do it outdoors on my turkey fryer burner. I can see a breeze being very helpful to carry away the skins while tossing the beans.
Am i hearing a difference in the sound when you pour each roast into similar bowls? The last hooky roast sounds crisper. Like glass. I imagine it's because more moisture is removed.
Interested to know what varieties you are growing and what kind of yield you are getting. As a coffee grower I am always curious about small growers. Are you getting at least a pound per plant?
You'll have to Google around a bit but I ordered directly from the maker in Taiwan - Kuanho Li. You email him then he will send you a pricing sheet and you can make your order from there. There are plenty of resources online with people discussing which parts to order, etc.
roasting peanut is something like roasting coffee bean :)) shaking too often make my hand feels tired, so I switch to heat gun. The information is on @wiredgourmet channel.
The problem isn't necessarily the size of the coffee beans but the size of the grind (what is put out by the grinder). A pepper grinder can't grind it fine enough for coffee
great video..good stuff...though when u talk aboiut the 'yield'..obviously your imut quantity was different as well as regarding the roasting time in the popcorn popper..t is in one's control to go longer as one can easily see the colour of the beans...i like the skillet version for hme grown coffee...thanx!
"To call it a home roasting machine might be a little bit of a stretch" As he sets up a computer to control it and runs an exhaust duct out the window ... Ya. Maybe a little. 😆
Truly depends on what kinds of green coffee you purchase and how much effort you put into learning the roasting process. Also how much you value convenience and the experience of buying roasted coffee from shops/online. If you buy cheap green, don't want to deal with the learning curve, and really value the convenience and relationship you have with your local roaster, then maybe not. Personally though, I would say absolutely!
I buy from a few different places but for the most part Happy Mug. Those guys are really awesome and we're very aligned with the types of coffees we enjoy. Sweet Maria's also has a great selection, as well as Burman Coffee
Your English is great! The peel (called chaff) doesn't come off as much because of the lack of airflow in the system. In both the popper and the Huky there are fans that blow out the chaff.
Ive heard they're not able to get hot enough but I suppose that would depend on the model. Would be interesting to see how evenly (or unevenly) roasted they come out
@@TheGrandMug I consistent even roast seems to be the problem with all small home roasters. I was pretty excited about the Nesco home roaster its simple, compact and only has 3 buttons. Whenever someone designs a small roaster that I can press one button and get a light, medium or a dark roast and come out evenly. That will be a game changer and I would jump on that or the right price.
Great info!!! You lit a fire in my about home roasting coffee!

Great video! Loved how you compare each methods. Well done
Thank you!
'not running to fast' A good practice for life in general👍
Awesome video
My first video in this area! Thank you!
Great vid. Where can I get some of that Grand Mug coffee?
thx for sharing experience

Hello can you tell me watt brand popcorn popper did u used
I used a Nostalgia brand popcorn popper!
Hahahaha. The first part is very funny😂
Average Joe’s when he breaks out the laptop roaster 👁👄👁
Would be an idea to add a switch or maybe even a pot on the element of the popcorn maker. I'm tempted to take apart mine just to see how easy it would be.
Actually a wok would be better than a pan due to the shape. You would be able to move the beans around much easier.
A wok seems perfect.
Also, I would probably like to do it outdoors on my turkey fryer burner. I can see a breeze being very helpful to carry away the skins while tossing the beans.
What roaster is that and what’s the price range?
correct me if im wrong, but as i browse on the web, there are many other roasters at the same range dont need a stove with similar function
Where did you get huky roaster and how much by us dollar... Thank you
Hi, do you think an air fryer would work?
Am i hearing a difference in the sound when you pour each roast into similar bowls? The last hooky roast sounds crisper. Like glass. I imagine it's because more moisture is removed.
I am in the process of harvesting coffee from my indoor trees

Bread machine and heat gun roasts coffee amazingly well
Agreed! That's not one that I've tried but I've only heard good things
The professional machine looks very nice
I wanna ask you about how much and from where can I get it thank you

The popper looked painful, pan way easier with a whisk. And steady movement. Good video.
👍
What kind of grinder did you use? Guess a normal grinder for pepper can't do as big as coffee beans? Thanks for video. Regards Krusty
The problem isn't necessarily the size of the coffee beans but the size of the grind (what is put out by the grinder). A pepper grinder can't grind it fine enough for coffee

Thank you for watching!
With the skillet method I use a splatter screen
That's pretty genius 👌

My home roasting journey ended when I checked my bank account.
Pans bro. Pan's all you need 🙌
Is home roasted any better if I am already ordering from someplace like Blue Bottle?

In puertorico my grandmother used a big pan over fire. She also would add flavor it while it roasted with sugar or vanilla. Have you tried that
That sounds like a great idea. Will have to try it out!
@@TheGrandMug let me know how it goes 😊
❤️... ,,☕
Holy shit a bz02.
From where is the Huky500T manufactured?
In Taiwan
@@TheGrandMug Thanks

Why doesn't the peel come out when u roast coffee with the pan ?! Sorry for my English

@@TheGrandMug thanks , i appreciate that 👍
you didn't really roast the coffee beans in the carbon steel pan, i use a carbon steel wok and i get amazing medium roast coffee.
i saw someone roasting with an air fryer and they had pretty good results

That would definitely be interesting!
Taste???
Husky is closer to $2,800 now :-(
Jesus Christ. Is it that messy in a pan all the time? Lol
Exothermic reaction ????? Pishhhh
No I don't think she would like that mess. I wouldn't
Just save up and get a decent home roasting machine! This looks painful and too much work!
Popcorn machine???? NO
YES
