Greetings, my young friend, I am a new roaster as of a few days ago. Without any more boring details, I just want to let you know that out of dozens of videos on this subject I've watched (if not over 100 already) yours is the best. You present important information in a crystal clear way WITHOUT RAMBLING ON AND ON AND ON! Thank you! I look forward to seeing more. I truly appreciate what I've learned from you, already!
Thank you so much!
Fresh roast SR800 is amazing and can do up to 12 oz with the custom extension chamber
That Brazilian sack of coffee on your wall is very much appreciated, we love it when the world recognizes our agricultural potential.
We have a Brazil Sucafina in the roastery that is just đ
Love Brazilian coffee!
The most comprehensive roasting guide I've seen so far - I'll be using it.
One of the best videos on roasting for beginners. Thanks Charles!
Thanks Charlie! Very informative, youâre a good teacher.
Greetings from Mexico. Fell down the rabbit hole and am enjoying learning everything I can, complete newbie. If I wasnât living in Mexico I doubt I would have initially been so interested but the seed is planted, no turning back. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I bought 100% Kona Peaberry and got the roast right on my fourth try. I should have started with something cheaper.
Thanks so much. Very helpful and entertaining.
Many online bean providers now. Coffee Bean Corral provides a "coffee matrix" of flavors and other characteristics (region, bean subspecies, etc.) to better select beans that fit the flavor profiles you enjoy most.
Thanks for the mention!!
Fantastic video
Your coffee is amazing! Thanks for watching đ
Really informative and enjoyable
Wow this is one of the most underrated coffee channels on YT, I really wish I had found it when I was starting out roasting a few months ago. This video is so approachable and information rich (don't blink!), kudos!
You just made my day, thank you!
Vacuum containers can also speed up the resting as it âpullsâ out some of the Co2
Iâve been using a Behmore for over four years now. Loving the experience and of course can longer stomach restaurant coffee.
Great advice and tips! I use a DIY heat gun and flour sifter roaster to roast my coffee and so far it gives me very good results. My heat gun has a couple of temperature controls, maybe I should use them to control the roast development.
I've been waiting years for a video like this, thank you!! Can't wait to try a few roasts out on my Hottop roaster this weekend
I'm so glad you liked it!
Great video!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful
Great video Charlie â
Thank you!
Hello there, I'm glad that I found your video đ ( IT'S SAVED) bythewaya my first time of searching for details of coffee roasting,, im roasting coffee everyday and lately I realised that the coffee it doesn't taste the same always. As an Ethiopian woman I'm a bit đ coffee ceremony is our core culture custom. Coffee making its attached with a woman's value, from age of 7 we learn coffee roasting and the whole coffee making ceremony. Now I realised that I used to hate it when I'm asked to make coffee for my parents 3 times a day each coffee ceremony takes 1 hour to 1.5 hours if there is a visitor is a must to make another coffee ceremony for the visitor. As much as possible I run đââïž anywhere possible to not be caught up, đ I'm now here searching for a better coffee roasting đ .
Your video has convinced me to start roasting my own coffee. Also the best step-by-step tutorial I found so far.
So glad you found it useful!!!
I roasted my own using simple tools like oven pans, air fryers for a couple of years. The flavor is out of this world! The key is to roast it carefully to get the flavor characteristics you want, and not over roast it as well as to shake the beans around to get even roasting on the surface.
I don't know yet how to get a blonde roast. It seems the first crack happens when the roast is already medium, so how do you change the process of crack happens when it's still fairly light?
Hello. I enjoyed this. Thank you. I've been steadfast to learn coffee roasting (Ethiopian or Columbian) in a skillet for almost a year. It has proven to be an invaluable endeavor as it has forced me to be hands-on, super-focused on everything that goes on during the entire process. Any content that you will produce on skillet roasting will be particularly of interest.
Wow.. Staying in Japan. Great video on roasting..ready roasting is not long time to develop the skills.
Amazing video good sir, that Sandbox Roaster is definitely on my equipment list once I pay for the Ceado and ECM, or return to the UK, whichever happens first.
It's a good little roaster for the price, more data than you can get close to at this price range. My roasts got 1000x better after using it
@@homecafecharlie $2,500 CAD on Amazon and it ships from the US so there will be import duty on top or 600 quid if I wait till I'm back in blighty.
"thanks for watching all the way to the end, you overlly-caffinated people...." lol Greg (garden grove, CA)
Hi Charlie. This is a very informative and great video. What you doing in Japan btw? I know your channel is about home coffee but I'd love to see whatever content out somewhere in Japan â
I'm glad you liked the video! I did a few videos out and about in Japan and they were total flops, so I stuck with what I liked anyway which is talking about espresso, latte art and coffee science đ
Thanks for easy-to-understand roasting process, yet brutally honest opinion on what it appears to be Starbucks coffee.đ
After using a small home drum roaster for a while, recently purchased an Aillio Bullet R1V2 and getting more serious about roasting including understanding roasting chart.
I've read an online article stating ideal Turning Point should be about 75 - 80 C so bean will have enough time to develop until it hits 100-120 C where it reaches Hydrolysis stage.
Just wanted to know what is your opinion on this subject. Cheers!
It really depends on a lot of factors, and different beans will act differently. I mean even in summer it will have a much higher turning point because the beans will be warmer when they enter the drum! I would say adjust based on small experiments if you can. There are some good rules of thumb but those often turn out to mess up a coffee. I just did a cupping of 3 different roasts of the same bean and the one that had a horrible fliuck and then flatline RoR tasted the most complex, and the one that was very controlled and seemed like a great roast was boring.
I haven't used a Bullet yet unfortunately, but I'm sure you'll have a great time with it. Just remain open to experimentation and trying new things and with new beans always do cuppings with multiple roast levels. Try going through a standard roast (First crack at 8 or 9 minutes or so) taking 10-15g out every 3% development. You might be surprised that a 14% development could taste incredible compared to one with 20% or visa versa.
I hope that helps!
the Kaleido sniper m1 and m2 seem like real decent roasters as well with the pro and smart versions allowing for automatic roasting. would love to see a review done on it. :) talking about bad coffee... I live in Ecuador where we have really great tasting coffee beans but many roasters just do not know how to properly roast the coffee and it almost inevitably ends up being roasted so much it becomes like the oily junk of certain coffee shop chains. Same goes for chocolate, amazing award winning cacao, hardly anyone that knows how to process the beans into great tasting chocolate. One of the reasons I am looking into roasting my own coffee and doing tons of research before purchasing a roaster. currently leaning towards the kaleido sniper m2 smart version but need to see more in-depth reviews on it.
I'd love to pick one up. Just seems like my roasting videos don't perform well so not sure if it's worth spending so much buying expensive roasters for review đ I'll look into it.
@@homecafecharlie I totally understand, economy is tough all over. Even if just for your own use outside of making videos, I think they are quite affordable compared to other roasters of the same caliber. Making the calculation of cost between ready roasted and green beans, in the end the machine will pay for itself. Especially if you use it to start selling gourmet, single origin coffee in your neighborhood/city. :)
Hey Charlie really appreciating a lot of your content. I'm wanting to get into home roasting and torn between a kaffelogic or the sandbox. Both seem likr a pain to get in the uk, but anyway. I think you mentioned maybr fluid beds being easier, or less likely to scorch the beans. Wpuld you have any recommendations between the two? I like that kaffelogic is a bit smaller, less smoky and can link with artisan. But i dont knoe asuch about the samebox or the community behind it. Saw somewhere that you have to subscrube to be ableto store more profiles. Is that still a thing?
I haven't used the Kaffelogic one, so I couldn't say. Now that there are more roasters out I wouldn't recommend the Sandbox anymore. Too small batch sizes and bad software for the price when there are better ones. I have a review of the Santoker X3 coming soon, that's a great one. Also looking at the Mago roaster, will be testing it this month and review coming out soon
@@homecafecharlie Amazing, thanks Charlie, really appreciate you taking the time to get back to me on that. Will have a look and look forward to your reviews. To be honest I'm not too stressed about batch size, 100ish is probably good for me while I'm learning, only get through about 250g a week. But better software and price sound great!
Any thoughts on fluid airbed vs drum?
@@communityacupunctureteam Great question. I think fluid bed has a lot of potential but there isn't enough wisdom out there at the moment about how to get the most out of these roasters, and I've found it much easier to get consistently good coffee on a machine with a heavy drum.
Are you able to measure the ROR on a gene cafe? Or is this something that is only available on something like the sandbox?
Btw, learning loadsss thru your videos. Thanks for all of the great info!
I think it's hard to measure ROR on something like a Gene Cafe. You would have to chart it yourself in a spreadsheet or something...
Glad you're liking the videos!
Very useful information. Just tried my first time roasting using my oven and a steel roasting pan. It seemed to work fairly well by my oven can only get to 435 f or 223 c. Many of the videos I watched said to pull it out and stir every couple of minutes. Would you suggest leaving them go until first Crack, or is the stirring good advice?
I don't roast in the oven, very likely to scorch because the beans are in contact for a long time, which will lead to bitter and burnt flavours. Best to get some kind of drum roaster, even budget ones will be better than an oven
Thanks for video, I followed your link to Sandbox, says $500 US + shipping from UK. Searched for unit on Google and came back at $1000 base price and $2500 for Sandbox 2. That's a big difference.
Very big difference!
@@homecafecharlie What do you think its worth, or even, if worth buying? Any other links for it... It is a nice looking machine.
@@christopherinman3241 The Smart R1 is definitely worth it. I haven't seen a roaster with that kind of data at that price. The R2 there are better competitors, and I've just gotten a Kaleido roaster on my bench for review and for roasting for the cafe, and it's much more fully featured for the price than the Sandbox R2.
Iâm surprised youâve left out the Kaleido roasters. They are less money than the Aillio.
I didn't know about them at the time, but I've got a few videos about the M6 now which I like a lot.
@@homecafecharlie I will check those out!
I understand the ideal time ratio is around 40/40/20% for drying/browning/development phases. Can you give a range for the total roasting time to shoot for for a medium roast? Something like 5 minutes is too short and 15 minutes is too long. Obviously, the narrower the range, the less trial and error I need to go through to find the sweet spot.
I can't believe I'm going into this rabbit hole.
Hi Charlie,
I just purchased the Sandbox R1 after watching your VDO a week ago.
After roasted 7 batches of default presets and my super-beginner profiles, I still havenât got success with it.
I know profile changes from bean to bean, but would you mind share some profiles for us beginner Sandbox owners?
From what you said in this VDO, I think itâs like
Charge temp = 175 C
0:00 Power 50%, Fan ???
0:30 Power 95% Fan ???
4:00 ???
6:00 ???
I know Iâll have to tweak it to my own beans, but some guidance from you who owns the Sandbox for quite some time and who uses it regularly would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
Nice, it's a fun roaster but takes a bit to learn how to get really nice coffee from it. If you would like I can send you my profile. Send me an email or join my discord and I'll send you what I'm using.
What would be a good roast time for a light to medium light roast in the Gene Cafe
Really hard to say, depends on too many things and time isn't the best measure. I would suggest starting off aiming for first crack at 8-9 minutes. Turn the heat up at the start as high as you can without scorching the beans (requires testing, so buy some cheap beans to practice). Then slowly reduce the temperature after yellowing and start of browning phase (Millard reactions starting) so you don't get temp spikes during first crack. Good luck, and if you wanna share more details join my discord and send some photos or videos đ
@@homecafecharlie thanks
Awesome video! Quick question- I could be misinterpreting, but it seems that at around 10:24 you say to never drop the temperature before the first crack, then at 12:00 you say the opposite, to slow the roast in advance of the first crack. Can you please clarify?
Oh I didn't say dropping the "temperature", I said dropping the beans - meaning emptying them from the drum into the cooling tray to finish the roast. Hope that makes it clearer đ
@@homecafecharlie Ooohhhhh, gotcha! Thought there was maybe some lingo there I wasn't quite grasping haha
If a crash happens, is that visible on the BT line? or the RoR line
Both, but the ROR will be much clearer. A crash just means the rate of increase drastically slows.
Hi Charlie! Nice video. By the way, are you currently living in Japan? I am asking that because I often hear you mention the price of the bean in Yen (JPY) :D
Yes I'm based in Japan at the moment đ
@@homecafecharlie nice! I just got my Sandbox R1 a few days , would you mind sharing one of your successful roast profile?
what's the cheapest but most practical to get into 1/2 lb batches of roasting coffee but have some type of computer interface for better management?
Hmm, I'm interested in the Kaleido roasters as they work with Artisan so I could use it for profiling when I open the roastery. If I get one I'll do a review but that's one I would consider
Do you wash the green coffee before roasting?
Nope
Never drop before the end of the first crack? There are certain beans that need to be dropped before first crack or you roast off some of the delicate flavors of some beans (naturals, geishas, some washed ethiopians, etc.).
I'd need to look into that. Never roasted a Geisha before đ
Better home roaster coz using smart sandbox roasterđđ
I am using images roaster. However, I feel so different than the regular roaster. For now, I only know how to roast geisha ;(
I haven't roasted coffee in my house, 1st warming do not roast in your house unless you want toasted smell of coffee everywhere. 2nd only roast coffee in toaster for coffee only unless you want the coffee smell to contaminate when you cook other foods.
What are your thoughts about your first roaster for$600, would you recommend it
The Gene Cafe? Or the R1? Both are good entry points, but most roasters I'm realising are not as good as a full size drum roaster.
Roasting coffee beans at HOME?! Thatâs for coffee aficionados and fanatics only - no thanks, although Iâm sure the aroma is marvelousâŠ
Wait a second, you're in Tokyo?!
Just saw that you are no longer in Tokyo on your instagram! Bummer!
Yeah I moved away last year đ
ok, I give up...just gonna buy from a local roast.
It's complex. Roasters add a lot of value and understanding of how to bring the best out of the beans. But man, learning to roast is so fun đ
You should go slower and make more episodes about roasting
Everything you say is very interesting, but you speak too fast.
đ That's just my way. I'll try to slow down
@@homecafecharlie probably due to all the coffee? ;)
â@@homecafecharlie I find your talking speed fine. (I often watch CZcams videos on 1.5 or 2x speed as so many people talk so painfully slowly! đ)
Dude, I think you had too much coffee. Can you talk any faster?
Too... Much... Coffeeeee đ€Ș
Difficult to understand the tone of your grammar you are too faster
