Consumers are becoming more interested and knowledgeable about their coffee drinking, so interested, in fact, that they want to be involved in the whole process from roasting to drinking. Roasting your own beans will guarantee the freshest possible coffee because most coffee bags that you can buy in the store are not fresh. Coffee loses 25% of its flavor within the first two weeks of roasting and because of this the overwhelming majority of coffee that people buy is stale.
Instead of buying roasted coffee, someone who has their own coffee roaster will buy unroasted coffee called “green beans.” Green beans don’t lose their flavor until they are roasted. To roast green coffee beans you put them into a spinning metal drum that heats the beans and roasts them evenly. The longer the beans are left in the machine to roast the darker and stronger they become.
Home coffee roaster can range from $200 to $900 depending on features and the quantity of coffee you will want to roast.
