Coffee Roasting FAQ
Where should I start with home coffee roasting?
Start with a small, repeatable batch size, track time and sensory cues, and learn what first crack sounds like before chasing exact color targets. The safest beginner path is to change one variable at a time: charge temperature, heat after first crack, cooling speed, or rest time.
What to Check First
Learn first crack before using roast color as your only guide.
Cool roasted beans quickly and evenly.
Rest most roasted coffee at least 24-72 hours before judging flavor.
