Coffee Roasting Course by Steven Tyler

Coffee roasting is an art form. It takes practice and patience to become a master roaster. There are many different ways to roast coffee, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

In order to become a skilled coffee roaster, you need to learn the basics of how to roast coffee. Here are five steps that will help you on your way to becoming a coffee roasting master:

1. Choose the right coffee beans. Not all coffee beans are created equal. Different types of beans will produce different results when roasted. Do some research to figure out which type of bean you want to use for your coffee.

2. Find the perfect roasting temperature. The temperature at which you roast your beans will have a big impact on the final product. Experiment until you find the temperature that gives you the results you want.

3. Roast the beans evenly. It’s important to roast the beans evenly in order to get consistent results. Use a coffee roaster with a good stirring mechanism to ensure that the beans are being roasted evenly.

4. Don’t over-roast the beans. Over-roasted beans can taste burnt and bitter. If you’re not sure whether the beans are done, err on the side of caution and take them out earlier rather than later.

5. Let the beans cool before grinding. Coffee beans need to cool down before they can be ground. If you grind them while they’re still hot, the coffee will be bitter. Let the beans cool for at least an hour before grinding.

Coffee roasting is a great way to start your day. It's a fun hobby that can save you money, and it's also a great way to show your love for coffee. If you're interested in learning more about coffee roasting, there are plenty of courses available online that can help you get started.

One of the best things about coffee roasting is that it's a relatively simple process. All you need is a good quality coffee roaster, some green coffee beans, and a little bit of patience. Once you've roasted your beans, you can experiment with different brewing methods to find the perfect cup of coffee for you.

At the end of this course, you'll be able to:

- Choose the right coffee beans for your roast

- Roast coffee beans using a coffee roaster machine

- Understand the different techniques of roasting coffee beans

- Cool and grind roasted coffee beans

-Brew a great cup of coffee using your roasted beans.
