Freshly roasted coffee

Had anybody here tried roasting their own coffee beans?

 

I do this every now and again. It's a bit time consuming, but pretty easy and the coffee is THE BEST. 

 

Freshly roasted coffee is on a whole other level. It's amazing.

    If you do decide to give this a try, may I suggest some Ethiopian beans? I've had nothing but good experience with any Ethiopian beans that I've roasted.

    I roast my beans in an old popcorn air popper.
    
    It's a cheap way to get into home roasting and sounds pretty cool when you tell people about it. 
    
    One warning, if you decide to try this - make sure your popper blows the air in from the sides, not the bottom, otherwise you risk it getting clogged and becoming a fire hazard.

    One more tip. Unless you have a real roaster, you'll probably want to do this outside. It generates a lot of smoke.

      I tried roasting indoors once. Big mistake.
      
      Luckily, it was at a friend's house and not at mine.

    I've never tried this,  but I'm a huge coffee drinker/lover so it's something I'll have to try.

    It never occurred to me to try this, but it's right up my alley. I love DIY in the kitchen. Thanks!

      I've never used my freshly roasted stuff for iced coffee. I'll have to give it a go sometime.

    I love coffee and just upgraded my brewer to, still a beginner brewer, brevill EX, and trying to get a hang of making some decent espresso and Latta art.

      The smell of roasting coffee is odd. It doesn't smell as you would expect it to.
      
      However, once it is done and the beans are ground - HOLY MOLY does it smell amazing.

    I haven't tried roasting. I'm using instant coffee 😅

      Fresh home roasted coffee is pretty much the opposite of instant. :)
