Monthly Archives: May 2015. May 8, 2015. I love good coffee and never drink bad coffee – that is the main reason I roast my own. And to be honest, I seldom drink more than two or three cups every day. I usually enjoy a good cup of tea for breakfast, lunch and supper. Recently my Nepalese friend Raj Kumar Banjara, who produces the wonderful Himalayan arabica, sent me some fantastic Himalayan tea. Downy tips tea is grown at a very high elevation and has the freshness of lime combined with a gentle aroma of...

STOVE ROASTING | homeroasting.no

http://www.homeroasting.no/stove-roasting

January 18, 2015. Coffee roasting is easily done in the kitchen stove. Very little smoke develops unless the coffee is dark roasted, which means a core temperature of 225 C / 440 F when the beans go through the second crack. Light and medium roasted coffee may be roasted in a roasting tin. Spread the beans as one layer in the tin – you may roast a little more than half a pound every time. The tin is placed in a cold stove and the temperature set at 215 C / 420 F, preferably with circulating air.

May 13, 2014. I have just received my new American steel drum for coffee roasting. According to the metal craftsman I found on eBay, I may now roast batches up to five pounds of coffee at a time on my gas grill with a rotisserie. First test roast of 3.5 lbs green beans. The drum is filled with beans and the rotisserie turns the drum! As the core temperature reaches 440 F (225 C) the weaker second crack is heard. LA FINCA LA RUBIA. LA FINCA LA RUBIA.

Monthly Archives: May 2014. LA FINCA LA RUBIA. May 14, 2014. Today I received a delivery of 65 lbs green coffee from the USA. I really looked forward to taste the coffee from the farm La Finca La Rubia in Nicaragua. This coffee is really fair trade. La Finca is a small paradise in the mountains of Nicaragua, an otherwise poor country. Their workers are decently paid and all profit from the production is spent on sponsoring youth camps at La Finca for poor Nicaraguan teenagers. May 13, 2014. Depending on ...

GARAGE ROASTING | homeroasting.no

http://www.homeroasting.no/garage-roasting

December 20, 2014. During winter time coffee roasting on the balcony is quite cold and icy. Fortunately, we have a large garage that is perfect for coffee roasting. The drum has a capacity of 5 lbs coffee beans in one session. The rotisserie spear is fastened to the drum. The grill is fired up and the rotisserie starts running. An electric motor is turning the drum with constant speed during roasting. The roasting process takes approximately 45 minutes. Until the beans start popping maximum power is used.
