This is the 20th video I watched I wish it was the first I wouldn't have to have wasted my time with the rest most informative video I've watched yet thank you,

[justinberger]

Thank you! Happiness is warm gun. Sooo easy. Didn't set off the smoke alarm. No range hood over my stove, so used a fan to blow air out the kitchen window as a precaution. Used a 10' stainless saute pan with curved sides which was perfect because it tumbles the beans when you shake, Used the hoover crevice tool style diffuser nozzle on the heat gun because I could hold it at an angle instead of straight over the hot pan.

Thank you so much! I've gotten pretty good at pan roasting over the years, but your method is so much better and easier and more consistent. I already own a heat gun but will buy another as they'll get overused I'm sure lol. So much information packed in one 10 min video, so this is my fave coffee how-to video so far.

I know what I'm doing with my heat gun this summer. I can't wait to try this out.

[bolerkai]

Solid, all the info aligns with what I have learned so far. I have 60+ roasts on a fancy sample roaster, but on one of my roasts, the roaster crashed in the middle of the roast. I am going to use my heat gun to finish up this roast, I have very low expectations for the outcome, but I don't want to throw the beans out, even though it's only 100 grams of green beans.

Thanks for this video. I enjoyed your take on roasting here. I will not test it at home because I am a bit worried about the chaff flying over the place. I kept looking into this topic and found someone who roasted a small amount of coffee in a beaker over a lab hot plate, using the magnetic stirrer to keep heat distribution uniform. I found that approach very interesting, but it is most certainly limited to very small amounts of coffee.

Thank you so much for great inspiration. After a few experiments on my induction cooktop, the beens are added into the pot at 200c app. 90% trust. after 3-4 min down to 60%. Heatgun at 350c the whole time. Total roasting time 10 - 12 min at the end of first crack or just after.The results are stunning, and better than i can buy from any local cormercial roaster.

This is fantastic content! I used to believe you need a top of the line computer temperature controlled roaster to get good roasted coffee, your video confirmed my belief that coffee roasting doesn't have to be complicated. I have been getting good results with my toaster oven and I just started using the heat gun to roast my coffee. I will be trying out your technique. I also recently ordered a motorized wire roasting drum meant to be used over a gas hob, I'll be experimenting with using the heat gun on that.

Most informative vid on the topic I've found. Cheers.

[adamnewis]

Really love the insightful content on your channel!

[damianhbk]

Wonderful video! I'm glad I found your channel. I'm a home roaster and I learned new things from this video! I'm currently enjoying roasting beans from Brazil. A little tricky at first but definitely worth it when you can eyeball the roast when it's done! New subscriber here! Cheers! ☕

Very good straight forward video but can you tell me if it is imperative to use two heat sources please.

[MrDarrylR]

You've almost inspired me to buy a heat gun.

Could this be done with JUST a heat gun, outdoors? It seems the heat gun is adding nearly all the heat, so forgoing the stovetop would eliminate cleanup and keep fumes out of the house.

I rent an apartment with a dirt collecting coil electric stovetop, and really poor vent, but I could easily see doing this on a sawhorse on the balcony, with a heavy aluminum pan for heat 'spreading'.

[NickWebster]

This is a great video. How flexible is the temp req for the heat gun? I have one but it's only modes are cooling, 300 degrees C, and 600 degrees C.

[itellsri]

Beautiful informative and entertaining ! So do you turn off the stove after pre heating or do you continue to provide heat in addition to the heat from the heat gun ?

[elieriachi]

Very informative video. Thank you. Have you tried roasting with cast iron skillet on stovetop and heat gun? cast iron can maintain temperature constant, but I wonder if that would be a bad thing. Presumably the right rate of temperature change plays a significant role in roast quality. Any thoughts on that?

[nathanmelton]

Loved this video so much that I just purchased all the gear! Question: can I do this on my propane grill on low outside?

[milansvrcek]

Hi! Thanks for your video, you inspired me!

[sweetbuns]

🤣🤣🤣But the actual business of cooking coffee ? OMG so funny I like it, I start to listen when he pull out his hot gun .... who is this guy ??? 😍 😂😂😂

[mhpjii]

Really good work here. Subscribed. What temperature range should the heat gun have? Can you recommend a particular brand & model besides the professional-grade Steinel in your video (I need a 220V model)? Thank you!
