Did you know that you don't have to stand for it? That you actually have a choice? Owning a coffee bean roaster will liberate your coffee!Ok, it may sound like a lot of messing around for very little reward. But wait a moment. There are good reasons why you would want to roast your own coffee. Here are a few.
1 : You can suit your own tastes. With a coffee bean roaster you can make the roast as dark or light as you wish.
2 : You will know what is in your coffee. Ground coffee often contains filler, which is non-coffee foodstuffs added to your coffee to make it bulkier (i.e. to rip you off).
3 : Your coffee sill be 100% fresh. The flavor and freshness will be at its peak every time because you will only ever roast the coffee in small batches shortly before you use it.
4 : The green beans are much cheaper than roaster beans.
5 : You can experiment with different blends to match your exact taste.
There are 2 different types of coffee roaster, the "fluid bed" or air roaster and the drum roaster.
The air coffee roaster uses hot air to roast the coffee beans in a glass chamber, which means that you can watch the coffee as it roasts to make sure it reaches the perfect color, whether amber or dark. These roasters tend to roast the beans much more quickly than the drum roasters as they use a high velocity stream of air to transfer heat directly to the beans. So you will need to keep a close eye on the coffee to keep it from burning.
A good example of the air roaster is the fresh roast coffee bean roaster. This is a good entry model for beginners, but it only makes enough coffee for one or two people at a time.
A drum coffee roaster, on the other hand, works on the basis of convection, much like an oven does. It transfers the heat to the bean at a slow, even pace, which helps to prevent scorching and baking. It does not have a glass chamber, so you will need to scoop out some beans during the roasting process to check their progress.
Many people are happy to start with the fresh roast coffee roaster because of the glass chamber, and then move on to a drum roaster as their hobby progresses. And for those who have found that their hobby has taken on a life of its own, with friends and family regularly consuming large quantities of their "secret recipe" coffee, a commercial coffee bean roaster is a tempting but pricey purchase.
