  • dude, you just blew all over the beans, gross!

  • i use a gas stove and preheat pot for 3 min. and then roast for approx. 10 min. using 1 cup of green beans. that will give you a good roast.

  • Most green coffee on the internet is what dealers want to offload- it is extremely low grade. I have sampled many different lots. You will get burned with old beans or misrepresented grades. The good beans rarely are available any more to individual home buyers. Buyer beware.

  • all good but please...get rid of the teflon sauce pan...some of those flakes you may not be from the coffee

  • Fail. Dude im sorry but you HAVE to stir the beans. Thats why your roast was uneven and without an even roast you CANT have a good cup of coffee. You cant just agitate the beans a couple times. Perhaps you should look at how professional roasters work. They constantly move the beans either in a drum or in an air column. Gotta move the beans man. 

  • Hi!

    How many minutes was that? Or do you just have to look at the color?

    How often do you stir them?

  • It can be a bit tricky because its always variable time based on how many beans you put in and the size of the pot. I UNDER-ROASTED many of the beans I did when I first started. As you are roasting, there is a oil that forms on the outside. Youll also notice the beans popping.

    After they pop the first time, I think its safe to say you can drink it without it tasting like old socks. I like mine roasted a lot. I guague finish time when they form a lot of oil on the outside of the bean.

  • good video (i posted the vid response)  i like your use of a small pot so you can shake it off the burner. makes less noise.

  • You said to not cover them and then you covered them. What's the deal?

  • Good info! I like the simplicity of your

    technique. I feel people tend to over com-

    licate things. I'm going to try your method

    keep up the good work! lol

  • I roast my green beans with a $16 Chefmate popcorn popper from Target...works great! It takes 5.5 minutes to get a dark-brown (city+) roast. I can roast 1/2 cup of green beans which yields about 1 cup of roasted beans. Cant believe anyone would spend hundreds of dollars on a "coffee roaster."

  • Thanks so much for this, I just bought my first ever green beans and can't wait to roast them myself now.

  • Hi, thanks so much for the video, but am i missing something? how long do you roast them for? till you see the skins detach from the beans? thanks!

  • It really depends on the taste you want from the beans. It also depends on the type of bean. However, normally the way you know when they are ready is when they start to get oil forming on the outside of the beans.

    The beans will pop about two times during roasting. This is called first and second crack. After second crack you should see the oil start to form. Doing it on the stove like this it took me 45 min - an hour.

  • Arbuckle the original roasted coffee sells green beans. ... just to put that out there

  • ..you look like u know what your doing,,,I just rosated my first beans i will grind the next day....That 2nd, crack it it a lot louder then the first ,,,I see how wet my beans look ed and just was think there done very oiley yes,,,,I have a long way,s to go plus it took about 8 min,,,maybe....

  • I havent ever had a problem blowing away the skin. I guess just dont put your face right into the pan after taking it off the stove.

  • blow away the skin, is it safe?

  • Your very welcome. I didnt want to get any equipment either...until I got very addicted :)

  • Thank you very much for posting this. I had thought it was odd when all the tutorials I was seeing for coffee roasting involved special equipment... after all, coffee beans weren't originally roasted in machines!
