Coffee Roasting
Great, you have the beans.
How do you make coffee?
I’m Using a Pan
Using a pan may just be the easiest and most traditional way of roasting your beans. Roast your beans over gas or electric stove in mere minutes.
I’m Using an Oven
Most modern ovens can handle your beans well. A quick stir throughout the process can ensure a well roasted bean. Easy and convenient, you might have other this to do.

Making Coffee can be done through different ways. Filter coffee is most convenient if done well! For those who do not have a coffee machine of course.
Oven Recipe
45 – 55 minutes
220 °C top and bottom heat or grill
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (420 F). Make sure the oven is well heated before putting the beans in there. If you want a slower roast, you can try 200 degrees and take a bit longer.
Step 2
Prepare your tray: spread the beans evenly over a sheet of baking paper. Make sure no beans are overlapping so they can all benefit from the heat equally.
Step 3
The beans should start to ‘crack’. Other than corn, coffee pops twice. Shuffle the beans after the first ‘crack’, so to ensure both sides of the bean is roasted.
Step 4
Take out your beans once they have reached your preferred color. Darker roasts have a stronger, bittersweet taste. Lighter coffee preserves a bit more flavor because there is less ‘burning’. You can sieve or wash the beans to get rid of the chaff.
Roasting coffee with a Pan
45 Minutes
Gas or Electric stove
Step 1
Place your beans in a pan over a low – medium heat. The beans should get hot enough to roast, yet cool enough to not burn. For induction use power level 5 or 6.
Step 2
Heat and stir the beans for about 35-40 minutes. The beans should ‘crack’ two times. This cracking works similar to corn, trapped water escapes. Make sure to enjoy the smell.
Step 3
Keep stirring until the beans reached your preferred ‘roast’. Slower roast preserve more flavor. The darker the roast, the more bitter the coffee gets. Light roast preserve a bit more flavor but might be a bit more watery.
Step 4
You can sieve or wash the beans to get rid of the chaff.

5-15 Minutes
Water Cooker, coffee filter and holder
Step 1
If you haven’t done so: grind your beans. This can be done through multiple ways. The finer the grind, the better the coffee. You can use a food processor, a mortar and pestle or a coffee grinder.
Step 2
Boil some water to the highest heat you can get. The hotter the water, the more flavor will be extracted from the coffee. Ideal temperatures are roughly 90°C (190 F).
Step 3
Place the ground coffee in the filter and put the filter holder over a cup or pot. Store bought coffee uses about 5 grams of coffee per cup (220 ml). If your grind is less fine, you might need more.
Step 4
Pour the water over the coffee in bursts. The water tends cool over time, heating in between pouring is a good idea to get maximum flavour. Protip: put a little bit of coffee in a blender to make some delicious coffee cream.
