Green. I bought a used roaster, Behmor, from a user here and have been "experimenting" with doing it myself. It is super easy and takes litterally 20 to 30 minutes to do. That included warming up the roaster, roasting the beans and cooling off the unit. I can do 1/2 pound at a time, and usually do 1 to 2 pounds a session before I need to give it a quick cleaning. I get my beans from CBC. I think my wife ordered the beans two or three days ago and they showed up this morning.Green or already roasted? And where are you ordering from? I've been ordering light roasted beans from Peets, and we generally receive them 2-5 days after they're roasted. I've been kicking around ordering from somewhere else, but I don't want to get tied to a auto-send plan until I settle in on something I like.
What I have found, is that big stores like Peets, Starbucks and others have a distinct burned flavor to them. At first I thought mine was just too weak, but then I realized it is the flavor coming out, not the burn of the beans, if that makes sense. If you can find a used roaster, the beans themselves are about 8 bucks a pound. Like brewing beer, it is fun and you get to actually consume the results. LOL.
Sorry to hijack thread. Rock on!!!!!
