How to Roast Coffee Beans?
Green coffee beans, which have not been roasted, will usually remain good for up to two years or longer. To keep roasted beans fresh, you can keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark area for two to six months.
Roasted coffee beans are often more expensive than unroasted beans. Grinding your own beans could significantly save your coffee expenses.
However, two things to keep in mind. Buying unroasted coffee beans necessitates additional work for oneself. At the same time, making the decision to buy and roast your own beans at home has its benefits.
For those who prioritize freshness and flavor, roasting your own coffee beans is definitely worth the time and effort. Coffee tastes best a week after roasting, so home roasting assures you consistently having the greatest flavor.
Making the effort to roast your own unroasted coffee beans benefits you in multiple ways, including the following:
Fresh Coffee
Remember that when coffee beans are roasted, they begin to lose their unique oils and delicious flavors. You can save money by roasting your own raw coffee beans at home. Every cup of coffee you brew will be the freshest money can buy.
A Cost-effective Option
Unroasted coffee beans are frequently less expensive than roasted coffee beans. The merchant hasn't taken the time and effort to roast the green coffee beans for you. So converting to raw coffee beans could result in huge long-term savings.
An Extended Shelf Life
Raw coffee beans also have a substantially longer shelf life than roasted coffee beans due to their unroasted state. While roasted beans have an average shelf life of around one month (when properly protected from oxygen, light, and humidity), high-quality green coffee beans can have a shelf life of up to 12 months (also if well protected). This allows you to stock up on green coffee beans in bulk and then roast them in smaller amounts as needed.
