Entry-level at-home coffee consumption is slipping toward pre-pandemic levels. But higher-end consumers are increasingly pursuing premium domestic options, including roasting their own raw beans at home, according to industry trend trackers. A new guide issued by custom bean roaster Coffee Lover includes recommendations for successful do-it-yourself roasting.

The recently published guide features equipment recommendations and details factors affecting flavor and acidity. Beans can be roasted on the stovetop using a heavy-bottomed pan, in the oven on a baking tray, or even in many hot-air popcorn poppers. Specialized roasting devices are available as well, Coffee Lover says.

Traditional daily consumers seem to be returning to coffee shops due to time and convenience, according to recent data from the National Coffee Association. But those who pursued premium at-home options during the pandemic seem committed to increasing customization in their own kitchens. Roasting raw, green coffee beans at home gives consumers more control over their preferred flavor and aroma.

In the guide, Coffee Lover says that it's essential for roasters to learn the balance of time, heat, and airflow to accentuate the beans’ subtle flavor notes, the report explains. Lightly roasted beans, for instance, are heated for shorter times and lower temperatures, preserving the delicate flavors distinct to the beans’ region of origin. Most have higher acidity and sweeter notes.

In contrast, beans are roasted slightly longer and hotter to blend the light and smoky notes common to medium roasts, according to the expert. Dark roasts, meanwhile, are exposed to high temperatures for the longest time frames, breaking down their natural oils and sugars to create complexed, caramelized flavors.

The guide further states that at-home roasters should be careful about ventilation since smoke and strong smells can be by-products. While commercial venting products exist, the easiest way to ensure safety is to begin roasting outdoors on a deck or driveway, the specialist recommends.

“Roasting coffee at home can be an enjoyable hobby and provides a fresher, customized flavor that suits your taste preferences,” a company representative said. “But from the novice to the experienced pro, it pays to understand all aspects of coffee bean roasting.”
