People have roasted coffee at home for centuries, using numerous methods. Until World War I it was more common to roast coffee at home than to buy pre-roasted coffee.
During the 20th century commercial coffee-roasting companies became common and home-roasting decreased.
People are now returning to home roasting to get the freshest possible coffee with aroma undiminished by storage - using equipment as simple as a skillet over a hot stove or a pop corn popper.
Home roasting allows coffee lovers to experiment with their own blends of single origin beans and with roasting profiles (the time beans spend at each temperature).
We provide you with a wide range of green coffee beans and lots of advice to get you started - but after that the world is your oyster.
