    There is nothing like the taste and aroma found in a hot cup of coffee that is made from freshly ground coffee beans. You have shared nice information here. Thanks!

    This is an excellent lens, thank you for the hard work and effort you put into this.
    I always love an informative publication that has some substance.
    I have a few coffee articles of my own. Please stop by and share a little love.
    Thanks again, 2 thumbs up and a LIKE for you!

    For many years I have drunk home roasted coffee. Like you said above- The Crack! I love that crackling sound, and the scent that fills the air. I often roast cinnamon sticks with my coffee beans, before I grind or pound them.In Ethiopia, where I used to live, nobody has heard of instant coffee, everybody roasts the coffee at home.

    That vacuum siphon looks cool. About when will you know when the coffee beans are at their optimal roast? Are there any combo setups with coffee makers? I know some machines brew and grind the beans too.

    Wow - Good Info!!

    I love the do-it-yourself approach, thanks for that - I want to try the popcorn roasting method - now just have to find some green beans. You are an excellent writer, nice flow, good spacing, not to much info. Very enjoyable. Thanks!

    Super nice lens. I brew my own beer and really love great coffee, so I think I need to look into roasting my own coffee...

    I love coffee - usually drink 3-4 cups a day. Now they say it's good for the memory and fights against Alzheimer's. Fortunately, I can handle it without getting the shakes. You have a lot of great info on this lens that I didn't know about coffee - great work! Angel dust for you!!!
  • Tipi Nov 5, 2010 @ 9:34 am | delete
    Ummm...I love my coffee! ~ This is a great tasty looking lens.
    Brewing a fresh pot of coffee right now, I like to gently boil mine.

    Great resource for people learning to roast coffee on their own at home. It's a fun hobby with very tasty results!
  • Kristina_Strain Oct 13, 2010 @ 12:51 pm | delete
    I'd like to add another resource to the above list of roasting information. I've recently produced a video all about home coffee roasting. You can find it here: http://www.growandmake.com/sustainable-living-blog/roasting-coffee-at-home/

    Now here's an new-to-me notion--never thought of roast my own coffee beans, but I DO drink lots of coffee. I appreciate the Fair Trade boost and have featured this lens on my Fair-Trade-Coffee-Buy lens.

    Great lens! Can't wait to try the airpop roasting method and the cold brew. I'll graduate to some of the more involved processes later. 5 stars!

    I received a Zach and Dani's gourmet coffee roaster for Christmas and I am loving it. It has a smoke removal system but don't count on it when doing a dark roast. I now set the roaster on the stovetop and run the exhaust fan. Works Great! Tastes even better.
  • MariAnn Nov 10, 2006 @ 3:56 pm | delete
    Great Lens! My husband has been roasting our own beans since last year. After melting a popcorn popper, he nowuses a Milwaukee MHT 750 paint gun, and a large stainless steel bowl. Using this method, best results are obtained using about 3 cups green beans at a time.

    We are SPOILED!

    Would be good if you add a website with coffee roasters and machines. One good site with specifications is www.conlinscoffee.com

    As a coffee lover that has spent way too much at Starbucks and other gourmet coffee places you have sold me on the idea of trying to roast my own beans.

    This will also give me an opportunity to explore the color of the different roast and include in my blog at http://www.sensationalcolor.com
