Roasting Coffee At Home & How To Make Your Own Roast Profiles

This video is the first part of our Roasting at Home Series where we are going to show you how to roast coffee at home. We will be looking into what you can use to roast your beans with from simple devices like breadmakers and popcorn machines up to more expensive options. Also, we will be teaching you many of the other intricacies and science involved in roasting coffee.

In this particular video we are roasting coffee on a modified breadmaker and we are going to show you how we track our progress throughout the roast process. We will be tracking the time as well as our temperature to create a graph and something we call a 'roast profile'. We use our roast profiles to either replicate roasts we are happy with or to make adjustments to improve on previous efforts.

We hope you enjoy the first video in this series and it helps you with your own roasting at home.

Thanks for watching 🤟

Who cares about the Maths. We get the concept. Absolutely the best explanation of a what you are aiming for in a roast profile with live deviations off your targets. So brave and entertaining to present the key facts and learnings with your modified bread maker. Classic and Well Done!!!

I am using a bench top convection oven with a rotating drum. Unfortunately I can’t get the bean temps or hear the cracks so I have to run off ambient roast chamber temps and time. I am getting good results so far. I am still experimenting with roaster temp and time. I have Ethiopian Gambella Sundried beans which are very small. Which maybe why I can’t hear the cracks.

Thanks for the video, great demonstration on how too track your roast. I really enjoyed your video.

Great job done here. Nice interesting content, there is no much around youtube so, thanks heaps

Great video mate, great info. I've been roasting in a Behmor 1600 plus for 5 years now and I'm contemplating upgrading to an Arlio Bullet this year. It'd be great if you guys would do more videos in the home coffee roasting subject. Cheers.

Very helpful to narrate and present a live roast....thank you. I use Ikawa Home sample roast, and I am wondering if the same 50/30/20 ratio for roasting stages is applicable with this machine?

Hi Luke, Good video thankyou. I have a Gene Cafe roaster, can't measure temp of beans. I am going to try and use your tracking graph with the air temp., any suggestions will be appreciated. cheers

[frankandrews]

To calculate the roast stages as a percentage you need to convert all time measurements to seconds. Doing so you will actually see that the dry phase is 50%.

Can you use the heating element of the breadmaker instead of heatgun?
I am wondering if you can use it by just installing temp controller for the heating element? Thanks

[marcochiasson]

I would be interested to learn how you create espresso blends as well; choosing the right combination of beans and level of roast for each. Great job guys 👌

Do u have any recommendations about all ur coffee buisness and stuff(how u started and everything else)cz like i really am into coffee stuff etc...i wanna study it throughly in detail...👀😿

[Iceman-xejo]

Using a bread maker! That is awesome! Has anyone used a toaster over with a rotisserie cage?

[alwilson]

I have an unused breadmaker, but what modifications were made? Removal of the top and temp probe - is that all? Plus what volume of beans did you roast?

[BM]

How does the roast temperature at first crack and the end roast compare with your commercial roaster?

[LykeDarylBasilio]

Hello Artisi,

Degrees in F or in C?

What is the ideal time for TP?

[goldencalf]

Can I just confirm, was it the bean temp you measured or air temp? Oh and how did the coffee taste?

[markwestlake]

I haven't been able to find the pdf download. Where is it available

[BaggySu]

What's the purpose of the exhaust in commercial roasting machine?

[cerealport]

I'd never considered roasting at home, I didnt realise it could be done relatively easily

[somtobom]

That math is totally wrong, because a minute has 60 seconds, not 100. So its a totally diferent math. But is quite near to the right Numbers, dont worry
