Roasting green coffee beans is a process of transforming Green Coffee Beans that brings out the rich flavors and aromatic compounds hidden within.

Selecting Green Coffee Beans
Always start by choosing high-quality, fresh green coffee beans. Consider factors like origin, variety, and processing method, as these elements greatly influence the final flavor profile.

Choice of your Roasting Method
There are various methods for roasting coffee beans and each offers unique control over the roast profile. Common methods include using a home coffee roaster, an oven, or even a stovetop popcorn popper.

Preheating the Roaster as per the manufacturer's recommendations, which ensures a consistent and even roast. This step is crucial!

Measuring and Loading the Beans
Accurately measure the amount of green coffee beans based on your roasting hardware. Resist the temptation to overload the roaster, as it can hinder the even distribution of heat.

Monitor the Roast
Always keep an eye on the colour, aroma, and sound of the beans during the roasting process. They will go through distinct stages, including the drying phase, the first crack (giving a light to medium roast), and the second crack (for a darker roast). Adjust as necessary for your preferenced roast. Simnplay, ay?

Cooling and Degassing
Once the desired roast level is achieved, quickly cool the beans to halt the roasting process. Then allow the beans to degas for a period, around 12 to 24 hours, as freshly roasted coffee emits carbon dioxide.

Storage
Roasted beans shouyld be stored in airtight containers, away from light, moisture, and strong odors. This preserves the freshness and flavour of the coffee for an extended period.

Experimentation and Learning
Roasting coffee is both an art and a science. Embrace experimentation and keep a log of your roasting sessions, noting the variables such as temperature, time, and bean origin. This iterative process allows you to refine your roasting skills and discover the nuances of different beans
