Our first ever roast was done using a mixing bowl, whisk, and heat gun. It has since evolved into a “highly tuned” machine consisting of an old bread maker, a heat gun, temperature probe, a computer, and a floor fan to cool the beans. It’s hard to believe that we only started roasting coffee a bit over a year ago!

Here’s a photo of our current roasting set-up:

Roasting coffee at home is surprisingly easy. So if you are interested in checking out our roaster or even doing some roasting of your own, leave some comments below How rad would it be if we replaced Launceston’s wood smoke problem with a home coffee roasting smoke problem? Well maybe not :-P

Stay tuned, because I plan on writing some more in-depth posts about our roaster and roasting in general.
