Pan Roasting Coffee at Home

I’ve never had too much luck roasting my own coffee. I tried using a popcorn popper; The beans seemed to turn out fine, but the coffee tasted like hell. Clearly I was doing something wrong. (If only we could get a professional coffee roaster and expert in to write about coffee… next week.)

It’s unlikely that you’ll ever run out of store-bought coffee and yet have a batch of green, unroasted beans around, but that doesn’t make this instructional guide about pan-roasting coffee beans any less interesting. It’s enough to make a man hit Sweet Maria’s to order some fresh beans. Just in case someone was going to be around on Dethroner next week to talk about coffee.

Or something.
