Coffee Roasting 101

Doug's brother, Steve, came over on Friday night to learn how to roast coffee. Doug has just started this new hobby. First you roast the green beans over a propane flame (outside).



Doug takes a look at the beans to see how they are doing.
When they are done, the chaff needs to be taken off of the beans, and they need to be cooled so they stop cooking.
On the left is dark roast, and on the right is espresso roast.
