Coffee Bean Roasting!
Sun, 12/20/2009 - 21:53 | nullpuppy
As mentioned in the last post, I signed up for the Reddit Secret Santa gift exchange. I got green coffee beans as a result. Today, I made my first attempt at roasting them. I have documented the process photographically on flickr. Go look!
I have not ground the beans up yet, and brewed them, as my crappy blade grinder has vanished. This actually happened a long time ago, and I have no idea where it is. Time for a new burr grinder anyways!
And, I think I need to invest in a lot of other expensive coffee brewing equipment. Thinking about it, I've noticed I'm picking up some rather expensive hobbies. Coffee itself is looking to be fairly expensive, at least to get the equipment to do what I want. Beer brewing is in the same category. The actual brewing (and roasting) parts are fairly cheap. Rocketry though, well, thats not cheap no way you put it. Ah well, all in the name of having fun, getting drunk, and playing with explosives. Good times to be had by all.
I'll report back tomorrow on the results of this first batch of beans. I hear I'm in for a surprise.

Process
The coffee roasting process consists essentially of sorting, roasting, cooling, and handbags packaging operations but can also include grinding in larger scale roasting houses. In larger operations, bags of green coffee beans are hand or machine-opened, dumped into a hopper, and screened to remove debris. The green beans are then gucci handbags weighed and transferred by belt or pneumatic conveyor to storage hoppers. From the storage hoppers, the green beans are conveyed to the roaster. Roasters typically operate at temperatures between 370 and 540 °F (188 and 282 °C), and the beans are roasted for a period of time ranging from 3 to 30 minutes. Roasters are typically horizontal rotating drums that are heated from below and tumble the green coffee beans in a current of hot gases. The heat source can be supplied by natural gas, prada handbags liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), electricity or even wood. These roasters can operate in either batch or continuous modes and can be indirect- or direct-fired.
