Roasting Buying Guide
Choosing Your First Roaster
Start with an air roaster like the Fresh Roast SR800. They're affordable, easy to use, and let you see the beans change color. Once comfortable, consider upgrading to a drum roaster for larger batches and more control.
Temperature Monitoring
Accurate temperature monitoring is crucial for consistent roasts. A good thermometer lets you track bean temperature, predict first crack, and replicate your favorite profiles.
Quality Green Beans
Quality green beans are the foundation of great coffee. Look for beans recently harvested (within the current crop year) and stored properly. Specialty importers provide detailed tasting notes.
Storage Tips
Freshly roasted coffee needs to degas for 12-24 hours before peak flavor. Store in a vacuum-sealed container away from light and heat. Use within 2-3 weeks for optimal freshness.
