D I Y Coffee Roasting


Extreme DIY coffee roasters from Sweet Maria’s home coffee roasting supplies.

We pulled our old dusty coffee roaster out of storage with the intent of roasting our own coffee again after a couple of years of buying commercial coffee. After the first roast, I asked myself why did we ever stop home roasting? With the help of Sweet Maria’s and roasting our own beans, we are drinking coffee that puts all trendy wifi coffee houses to shame. We roasted a bag of green Ethiopian Organic DP Bonko “Black Sun” coffee beans. What a wonderful fruity flavor that I have not experienced in any commercially available coffee. Sweet Maria’s provides more information on green coffee beans and home roasting than anything imaginable. Plus it is a bonus to support fair trade and organic coffee growers.

Is that real? Are you roasting coffee with a... heat gun?

Is that worked?

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
