How could you possibly call yourself a roaster if you don't roast their technique. Tsk tsk.

@iangillis2230 10 месяцев назад

Lots of good suggestions here. I'll add my 2 cents as a fairly experienced home roaster. I have a gas cooktop in my kitchen, and I've also used a butane campstove on occasion. I roast beans in a carbon steel wok that is reserved only for that purpose. I roast batches of +/- 300 grams (10 ounces or so). A medium low flame, constant stirring -- and, depending on the chosen bean -- I get a nice medium roast after 6 - 8 minutes. I've roasted some beans needing more time, but they are the exceptions. After a few repetitions, I was able to relax, watch the roasting progress, and get some very good, drinkable coffee.

@Epheshians6.10-19 2 года назад

We have a 12" stainless frying pan and a small whisk and roast over med stove top setting, stirring continuously. After 2nd crack begins we watch for the color roast (med - med dark) We roast 1 cup at a time which gives us about 2 cups roasted roasted. To cool we shake / stir with whisk in a metal strainer / colander until all the husks are free to be separated and we can handle with our bare hands. Maybe not the best way, but definitely a good starting point to figure out if you want to roast your own, or continue to buy pre-roast before spending the money on a good roaster.

I am new to home roasting, and have had much success, and a few failures. This video is awesome for those of us enjoying this new journey. One thing is for absolute certain: the coffee I roast at home and grind/brew in my Delonghi is undeniably more delicious than any other I have had. I will watch this video again after a while. Thanks for the great information!

@joelblue23 2 года назад

I got into home roasting last year with a stovetop popcorn popper and i am loving it. I have found though that certain coffees i use don't respond well when i use them in my flair. (maybe to lightly roasted or something) Doing a video on roasting the same bean for both pour over and espresso would be cool I think. I got into home roasting for the clout and for the money savings. I was not expecting to make better coffee than anything i had roasted for me locally. For anyone on the fence I would 100% recommend it if you are a coffee lover. I usually roast 10 days worth every time i roast and honestly it would take me more time to drive to my local coffee shop/roaster and buy it that way. Thanks for the video!

Started home roasting over 20 years ago. Went from oven roasting (at the 'suggestion' of the wife) to a Hearthway roaster until I could no longer get parts for it. Then a Caffe Rosto, again, until parts became unattainable, a stove top popcorn popper, an electric popcorn popper the the I-Roast and the I-Roast II and finally a Behmor 1600 then a Behmor 1600 Plus and Finally a 1600 Plus Upgrade Kit. And Sweet Maria's has been my go to for machines, coffee and advice. Still roasting, still learning.

Just started my home roasting journey a few months ago using the fluid air bed method via retired popcorn popper as a starting point. My quest is to find a bean and roast level that satisfies my daily espresso routine. As someone said below, there are so many variables to achieve a great cup. But I’m on my way and videos like this one are extremely helpful for a person like me just getting started. I’m retired and typically choose outdoorsy hobbies but I’ve become fascinated with coffee roasting and it has quickly become my new indoor/outdoor hobby that I can share with family and friends.

@@FlairEspresso Very close to what you recommend. I roast Central/South American in manual on P5 (100%), at the start of first crack I drop to P3 (50%) for 40 seconds and then continue on at P4 (75%) until just short of second crack and cool with the door open. If I am roasting Sumatran, I will go 10 seconds into second crack to get the molasses taste. If I am roasting Ethiopian, I will cut the roast and cool at the 3/4 mark of first crack (still cracking).

Thank you! Your timing guidance for drum roasting was super helpful. I tried roasting in a popcorn popper years ago and got very uneven results. I recently purchased a $70 stainless drum roaster from a 3rd party on Walmart's website. Made cheaply, but it does the trick. I suspect it's a little higher than optimal from the round burner on my BBQ grill, so first crack didn't happen until 12 minutes; roasted for 15:30 total. I did 200g of Kenya Nyeri Kagunyu AB from Sweet Maria's and let it cool and rest for a couple of hours. Ground it and made six cups in my Bonavita drip maker. This went so much better than the popcorn maker method! The flavor is much more mellow and fruity than my usual Kauai whole bean. Really lovely. I'm going to try going for 16-17 minutes on the next batch. Your warning to avoid the 2nd crack kept me vigilant! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Fantastic, informative video. I did corp. marketing as part of my career and your video is excellent. Well structured, informative w/out being dense or unapproachable. VERY well done. Will be tuning in for more of your videos. Before my corp marketing work, I was a partner in a roasterie (outside sales/client dev) and my partner (a retired chemist and 'coffee bean whisperer') was teaching the art of roasting to me. This was in the mid '90's and I've wanted a home roaster since. However, home roasters have been, ... wanting. Hey! my earliest experience w/ coffee roasting was w/ a roast master using a Dietrich commercial roaster so, . . . Anyway, I recently bought a FreshRoast SR800, and added the factory extension tube (which allows more roasting options). After watching lots of videos on roasting, usually using drum roasters, I'm hooked on fluid-bed roasters. I believe them to produce better results than drum roasters, and offer more control of the roast as the response to heat and air is more rapid (however their operational costs are higher). I got my SR800 from The Captain's Coffee, and they threw in 6 pounds of green beans as a thank you so I started roasting straight away. I clicked on your video out of curiosity as Flair talking about roasting is intriguing; but I didn't have many expectations. I was very pleasantly surprised. I've been drooling over the Flair 58, but find that the Flair Signature fits into my budget. So Flair has a good rep w/ me. Oh, right; the BIG reason I started roasting coffee is to have access to coffees not normally available to me because of lack of commercial profitability, lot sizes too small for commercial roasters to buy, or not popular w/ the general public.

I just started home roasting for 2 reasons: Whole Foods quit carrying my favorite coffee and most roasters roast too dark for me. I’ve now done 4 small batches in a popcorn popper and I’m happy. If I never got any better, I’m still better off. I like my home roasted better than what I was buying and it’s less expensive. I only drink a cup or two a day so the small capacity is not a problem. I’m a convert.

@JoshNeilTHE 2 года назад

Please do more. Specifically, I'd love a video on the Gene Cafe. I'm having an awful time with inconsistent roast issues with mine.

@FlairEspresso 2 года назад

We'll try to get one in. What's the type of inconsistencies you're referring to? Batch to batch or in one roast? Do you weigh out the green with a scale or use cups? What's the batch size?

@JoshNeilTHE 2 года назад

I’ve done a lot of experimentation with it and having been a professional roaster for a while I’ve fortunately had a lot of opportunity to learn parameters and play with known variables. The two obvious problems are underdevelopment and inconsistencies in appearance (what I mean by that is the way the appearance is more raisin like as opposed to uniform color, surface texture, etc. every time I notice this in my roasts there has been a vegetal/hay like component in the cups. Also very weird acid). Both of which I theorize come from the drying phase not lasting long enough. First thing I played with is batch size. You’re bang on about that. They say 8-10oz, 6oz has given me my best results. Green source is all very high quality, sweet Maria’s or commercial specialty coffee.l distribution. I’m preheating drum at 300F for 3 minutes. Keeping the shield down has also helped with heat retention. I’ll typically start at 450 until been prob is reading 350. About 1:30-2:00 Then I’ll drop to 350 and coast until both smell and appearance (with the shield down is a bit annoying) tell me I’m nearly done with drying. This can be anywhere from 4-6 minutes. Then I’ll start creeping up 10-15 deg at a time until about 425 as I’m watching and smelling the transition to browning and approaching first crack. Again, 4-5 minutes. Once I hit first crack I’ll crank in two stages to 450 then 482 as I’m developing and watching the uniformity in surface texture align. 2-4 minutes for this stage. Once color is where I think it should be and smell is umami/soy sauce like I start cooking and let the cooling cycle finish. These are long roasts and they inevitably taste a bit baked, but if I do shorter roasts the color is wild, bean size small, and very vegetal. Hope that helps.

@FlairEspresso 2 года назад

Hmm... that sounds off for sure; city appearance with full city temps... I think we'll need to get a Gene Cafe in for testing before we can offer much in the way of profiles to try. We're accustomed to using more gas at the start and less at the end which seems to be the opposite of what you're doing with this roaster (you say 450 drop to 350 hold for 4-6 m, then ramping up until right before drop?). So perhaps if that's not something you've experimented with yet, try the reverse steps aiming to be at around 60% of your initial "gas" level 45 sec before 1C, hold for another 60 sec after, and then ramp down further until drop. Hope it improves.

@JoshNeilTHE 2 года назад

@@FlairEspresso I'll give that a try. Yes, I do high temp initial to counter the heat sink of green bean drop, then try and let drying have it's full course then ramp up toward the end. I'll give your thoughts a try and look forward to you guys doing a review!

Hi, may i ask what roaster are you using in the video?

@briankavanagh7191 Год назад

Just bought an air fryer, cooked some Brazilian beans for 20 mins @200deg let them cool, ground and put in a V60, surprised how nice they where, I just need to adjust temps and roast times for me. Maybe you could do a video on air frying beans.

This is a wonderful video, great job! I have a behmor plus and have been roasting for years using various roasters. Are you the guy I talked to at Flair about roasting on the Behmor? If so, you gave me great advice back then as well. Anyway, I generally default to a full city on the Behmor as I try to draw out the browning phase. I wonder, do you have tips on how to roast a lighter roast on the behmor, city or city plus, without it being underdeveloped?

@FlairEspresso 2 года назад

Thanks Todd! Yes, that would have been me :) Sweet Maria's has a video on achieving good results with light roasts on behmor, have you given it a watch? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c29bBipusyg.html

At first I thought, oh, this is gonna be one of those videos that is gonna be 5min talk about roasting geared towards beginners and it is gonna be superficial. But thought it is done by the Flair guys, so I had to click. Much to my surprise, the video went into the details of roasting but beautifully summarised in an informative and interesting way. Hats off to you sir, very well done video. I started with an air roaster and now using Kaffelogic Nano 7. A fantastic very capable roaster. You may consider giving it a try. Well done and thanks for sharing your knowledge about roasting. I look forward to you perhaps roasting live, hopefully soon. Cheers.
