Don't do this the beans are already thoroughly washed before packaging moisture content of 10 to 12 % changing this can cause the beans to scorch and burn can be undercooked in the middle tasting burnt and grassy
I've tried today this roasting method ( moisturizes the beans prior to roasting ) and can say the coffee is different and in my opinion I found this coffee taste different than the normal . However thanks for sharing!!! It's one different way for homemade roasted coffee beans which roasted with traditional roasting method. Thanks a lot...........
I found washing the beans before makes the skillet temperature lower. And you don't scorch the beans when you put them in and it raises a temperature of the beans evenly when the skillet comes back up to temperature. I was washing it to try to get all the skins off of it and basically people walk on the beans and stuff so. Then I started wondering if you got a natural process bean would it wash the cherry flavor off. I don't know I think they taste better when you wash them. As long as you don't wash them too much but it's all in the roast. 🤷
