Could there be anything better than a hot, fresh brewed cup of

coffee? As you open that can of pre-ground Maxwell House Coffee,

did you even know that coffee comes in different roasts? Did you

know that you can roast your own coffee beans at home? If you

think that the aroma of your fresh ground coffee beans can't be

beat, get a home coffee roaster, you'll be in Java Heaven.



Roasting the coffee beans is what imparts flavor. Similar to the

making of a fine wine or a hand rolled cigar, some consider the

roasting of coffee beans as an art. Those that describe coffee

use some of the same vocabulary they use to describe wine.

Depending on the roast level chosen the beans take on different

flavor characteristics. The lighter the coffee bean the less

flavor it will have, the darker the coffee bean the stronger the

flavor it will have.



Getting The Job Thats Right For You.


I'm the type of person that considers a healthy, enjoyable job

alot more valuable than a high paying one. This may be as

foreign a .....
There are generally four different categories of roast. A light

roast (American) , a medium roast (Breakfast), a dark roast

(French), and darkest roast (Italian or espresso). Each type of

roast imparts a different appearance to the coffee beans.



When a coffee bean is roasted to an American roast the beans

will have a very light color to them and they will appear dry. A

medium roasted bean, or Breakfast roast will have a rich brown

color and will be oily in appearance. A French roasted coffee

bean will have a very oily appearance with the beans appearing

very dark brown. The darkest roasted beans or Espresso beans

will appear black.



Coffee roasting can easily be done in your home. Depending on

the roast that you desire you can roast coffee in five to

fifteen minutes. Green beans are available online from a number

of sellers, as are coffee roasters. Choose different types of

green coffees to sample. Drum roasters are very popular for use

in the home. It's best to consider purchasing a roaster as it

will give you the most consistent finish to your beans. Some try

to roast beans in frying pans, some use hot air popcorn poppers.

While each of these techniques will work, as mentioned above

they don't give a consistent finish to all the beans and you

will most likely be disappointed in the result.



Enjoy!
