Chanly1983 Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 I subscribed on the Fogo website for the coupons and discounts the other day and yesterday or the day before they sent me a email about what to grill and such with their charcoal. One of the topics was roasting coffee with a big green egg, my immediate thought was how much better would be coffee roasted on my KK! Seriously why is this not happening on the forum? Or is there a super secret section I will get access to when I become a “advanced member?” A few people sell these on line but I think I am going to just make one out of scrap stainless from work. Ok back to my coffee and bread making. I hope everyone is being safe and enjoying their weekend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 It might be fun to play with but I'd suspect if you seriously want to roast coffee beans the best way would be a dedicated bean roaster. I just don't see how one would get the control over the beans from the KK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Even if you used cocochar that has very little smoke flavor, you're going to end up with a definite smoky flavored coffee - but, if that's what you're looking for, go for it!

Syzygies Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 I don't make wine. I've had homebrewed beer that was better than bought, but they took over a garage with $10k of gear, and got too busy. I make fermented hot sauce, because it's better than I can buy. We freeze skinned, salted, and partially dried garden tomatoes, and make Sicilian estrattu from Santa Cruz dry-farmed Early Girl tomatoes, because they taste better than any bought or home canned tomatoes, period. I've tried roasting coffee beans. The ideal process involves equipment I don't have room for, that costs more than I make in a year: Graffeo Coffee - Our Process. As I've gotten older, I equate lesser home efforts with praising Johnny's Kindergarten art, if one can simply buy better. We nevertheless have open minds. Tell us it's better than anything you can buy, in a double-blind tasting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARDSLJR Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 My favorite roaster in Salt Lake City, Jack Mormon Coffee (their motto is "we're on a mission") uses a bank of five or six small roasters that look like oversized blenders. I think the maximum they can do is a kilo at a time. I would bet you could find them for sale with a little research. Jim, Denver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
