Coffee Appreciation

Heat gun roasting works really well. Keep the beans moving, roast them until 2nd crack starts, try to leave them a couple of days before drinking (yeah, right).

Once you have a feel for what the coffee does, aim for 1st crackle about 12 mins, 2nd crackle 14 mins. With a normal heatgun 200g green is a good charge weight. You can alter this to adjust roasting times.

After roasting cool the coffee quickly. Tip the beans between 2 sieves, this will blow all the chaff away too.

Have fun :)

Really? I stand corrected then. I would of thought it would be hard to get an even roast and avoid hot spotseven when you keep the beans moving.
