How to Become a Professional Coffee Roaster

[RickWarren 0]

Hello Friends,

A large percentage of Americans start every single day with at least one cup of coffee, making coffee big business in the United States and abroad. But before coffee can be ground up for use in the home coffee pot, the beans must be expertly roasted to bring out flavor. People passionate about coffee and looking to change careers, may be interested in learning more about becoming a professional coffee roaster.
Practice at home. Many professional coffee roasters are self-taught and then find work in the field or start a specialty coffee roasting business. Coffee roasting is not difficult, but does require skill and attention. Insert beans into the hopper compartment above the roaster. When the roaster reaches an ideal temperature for heating the beans (often around 200 to 225 degrees Fahrenheit), the beans are dumped into the rotating roaster. Check the bean's progress as they roast. Pull out the tray to collect a small sample. Confirm the beans are roasted to the desired darkness (the amount of time depends on the particular roast), remove the beans to a cooling tray. After the beans cool, grind for coffee.

Thanks and Regards,
Rick Warren
