This is how I roasted coffee at the campground. The grill came with the campsite. The cast iron dutch oven sits on top. A white gas camp stove provides the heat.
Heat up the dutch oven. Add beans. Check every few minutes to observe the beans and to stir them with a big spoon. When roasted enough I dump them into a clean frying pan to cool. Fan the beans a bit to blow the chaff a way, let them cool and they are good to go. Flavor is enhanced if they have a chance to rest for 12 hours or so, but they will still make decent coffee right after roasting.

ReplyDeleteSounds yummy!
Deletemmmmmmm...coffee.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!
DeleteAt first I missed the words "coffee" and thought they were BEANS, until I got to the "wait 12 hours" part. lol Stupid question: how do you make the coffee? Do you smash the beans? Use them whole?
ReplyDeleteI buy what is called "green" coffee beans. They are sort greenish in color, and are unroasted. Unroasted coffee keeps for a long long time. After roasting them, they are like whole beans you'd buy in the store. I grind them with a hand grinder.
DeleteWhew. I'm glad you answered because I was going to re-roast my store bought coffee beans. That would have been NASTY.
DeleteThat would have been expensive charcoal. :)
