You can roast green coffee beans at home for the perfect coffee shop taste. The flavor from the coffee shop can be brought to your own home with these simple instructions.

You can buy green coffee beans at most high end coffee shops. A lot of the shops have their own roasting machine right in the shop and they keep 50 pound bags of fresh, green coffee beans in stock.

Whole green coffee beans

Many of those shops will sell you green coffee beans by the pound. And then you can roast them yourself as needed for a perfect, fresh tasting cup of coffee just like the pros.

I used to just drink the cheapest coffee I could buy. I walked past those coffee shops, thinking they were just over priced and a waste of money. But one day I tried a cup at one of those places and my life was changed forever.

The flavor and quality of that cup of coffee I never forgot. From then on, I was looking for ways to bring that flavor home. I could never find out how they got such good tasting coffee. I kept buying ever more expensive coffee grounds and kept trying different ways to prepare my coffee but I never got it right.

Then I started to to grind my own coffee beans and I was getting there. The flavor was better than from coffee grounds. But it was still not just right.

Once you grind coffee beans, it should be used up within a day or so. The flavor starts to change the the coffee goes stale right away. By the time you buy coffee in cans at the grocery store, the stuff is already quite stale. You just cannot get a perfect cup of coffee from a can of ground coffee.

Whole coffee beans on the other hand taste a lot better. But it was still missing something.

I studied online for years and I finally found the answer. You have to roast your own coffee beans at home for that perfect flavor.

And here is how you do it:

You need to roast your fresh, green coffee beans at about 475 to 500 degrees F and keep them rotating and stirred up often. I use a popcorn popper to roast my coffee beans. This gives me both the temperature and also the rotation.

You want to roast the coffee beans evenly so stirring or rotating constantly is the best. My popcorn popper has a rotating bar which stirs the coffee beans the entire time.

Your coffee beans will snap and pop a little bit like popcorn. There are two stages of snapping. After the second stage the beans are smelling like fresh coffee.

At this point you want to start to watch the color of your roasted coffee beans. It would help to have some of your favorite whole coffee beans on hand to compare the color. When your roasted coffee beans reach that perfect color, then you have to move to the next step.

This part must be done rapidly.

Fresh home roasted coffee beans

You need two baking pans and either a fan or the wind blowing outside. Take everything outside and quickly transfer the beans from one pan to another, blowing off the chaff. This is a waste by product which you do not want.

Keep moving the beans around to cool them rapidly. You want to stop them from roasting inside or they will continue to change in flavor, color and quality.

Let your coffee beans sit overnight to develop their full flavor.

Enjoy a fresh, full flavored cup of coffee at home.
