  • Why did you roast it for 8 minutes ? The only thing to roast to initially is the cracks... first and second... if you're not finding them, then you're not doing something right.

  • Hi! I think, I have quite the same machine. What do you mean with second crack? How many minutes? How many gramms coffee? 160 (which fit in the cup that´s sold with the machine)? I have the problem that the beans get brown but the coffee has no big/full taste.

  • Coffee cracks when it's roasting. Basically the bean splits open due to the moisture inside turning into a gas and needing to escape... just like popcorn pops. So coffee will actually pop twice... For espresso people usually roast to somewhere at or after the second crack.

    Minutes depends entirely on the number of grams and the type of coffee, some takes longer than others.

    Check out sweetmarias and coffeesnobs for some roasting tips.

  • I always leave the kirchen until it´s finished, because the roaster produces so much smoke.^^

    But you are right, of course, the cracks are important. But after how many minutes are they coming? Do you hear them through the lid? And how many gramms/oz do you use? I read, you can fill it up until 180 gramms, but the manual only says 160 gramms (5,5 oz).

  • ive never roasted my own coffee though im getting a coffee roaster in the future lawl

  • This week, I roasted 8 minutes, but I think, it was too short. The beans still had the skin in the middle-slit.

  • interesting how-to. i should show my husband this video...he is such a coffee snob. though i'm not sure how our little apartment can hold yet another gourmet appliance =P

    well produced video, as well. what program do you use? i've been too lazy to cut mine with anything but the ZoomBrowserEX software that came with my Canon Powershot camera.
