Frequently Asked Questions

Can any bread maker be used to roast coffee?

FAQ: Bread Machine/Heat Gun Roasting
There are a few things you want to watch for when choosing a bread machine to use as a coffee roaster. You want an all metal stirring assembly and you want the bottom of the pan to be solid. Some bread machines have plastic pieces holding the stirring thing-a-ma-bob in place, and the heat gun could melt the plastic. Do not use any bread machine that has a plastic stirring assembly or if the receptacle in which the pan sits is plastic, rather than metal.

What equipment do you need to roast coffee in an unmodified bread machine?

FAQ: Bread Machine/Heat Gun Roasting
You will need a bread machine, a heat gun, a fan or other cooling device, a pot-holder or heat resistant mitt for lifting the bread pan out of the bread machine housing, a colander or wire basket in which to dump the beans, and a fire extinguisher (just in case). This is an outdoor activity. Roasting coffee produces lots of smoke and lots of blowing (and sometimes glowing) chaff. Do not do this indoors.

Why do loaves sometimes turn out flat in my bread maker?

Bread Maker FAQs- Cooking with a Bread Machine
The problem may be in the flour you are using. If you are using all-purpose flour try switching to bread flour, which contains more gluten. Gluten helps the bread rise. You may also check to be sure you have enough sugar as yeast feeds on sugar. Always make sure your ingredients are warm or, at least, at room temperatures. If you have them at lower temperatures it may kill the yeast.

Can I roast coffee at home?

Merchants of Green Coffee : All About Coffee
Yes, home roasting was common place in many parts of the world up until the 1950's. Green beans can be roasted in three ways: (1) in the oven on a cookie sheet at 450?F/ 230?C for 12 to 15 minutes; (2) on the stove top in a pan at medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes; and (3) in an electric home coffee roasting appliance.

What cycle do you use to roast coffee?

FAQ: Bread Machine/Heat Gun Roasting
You use the dough cycle. All bread machines seem to have one. And if your machine is designed to produce a 2 pound loaf of bread, there should be more than enough time on the dough cycle to roast your coffee. If you use a bread machine with a short dough cycle (fewer than 20 minutes or so), try stopping the machine at 5 or 6 minutes, well before first crack, for a few seconds. The cycle should reset, and then you can start again.

What is the best coffee roast?

Frequently Asked Questions
The manner in which a coffee is roasted can bring out the complexity of flavors, or obscure them. Lighter roasts enhance the acidity and varietal characteristics of a coffee, giving a bright clear taste. As the roast darkens, the body becomes fuller, and only the most distinct varietal characteristics remain; for the best coffees, this results in a complex and pleasing taste. At the darkest roasts, the coffee takes on a full bodied bittersweet richness.

Why is my bread small?

Bread Maker FAQs- Cooking with a Bread Machine
It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.
