The coffee industry has seen a lot of changes in recent years, with an emphasis on craft coffee and small batch roasting. This trend has led to a renewed interest in the quality of coffee, and how it is roasted. If you're looking to get the most out of your coffee, small batch roasting is the way to go. In this blog post, we'll explore what small batch roasting is, and how it can improve the flavor and quality of your coffee. We'll also give you some tips on how to get started. So, if you're ready to take your coffee game to the next level, read on!
What is coffee roasting?
Coffee roasting is the process of heating coffee beans in order to bring out their natural flavor. The roasting process can be done using a variety of methods, but most small batch coffee roasters use a drum roaster. This type of roaster slowly rotates the beans as they are heated, ensuring an even roast.
The length of time that the beans are roasted for is one of the most important factors in determining the final flavor of the coffee. Roasting times can range from a few minutes to over half an hour, depending on the desired results. Lighter roasts will have more acidity and brighter flavors, while darker roasts will be more full-bodied with deeper flavors.
Coffee roasting is both an art and a science, and it takes a lot of practice to perfect. The best way to learn is by doing, so we suggest getting your hands on some green coffee beans and giving it a try yourself!
The benefits of small batch coffee roasting
Small batch coffee roasting has many benefits that make it the perfect choice for crafting the ultimate cup of coffee. Perhaps the most important benefit is that it allows for more control over the roast, resulting in a more consistent product.
In addition, small batch roasting results in less waste and fewer beans that are burnt or otherwise unusable. This means that you'll get more bang for your buck, and end up with a higher quality product overall.
Finally, small batch roasting simply tastes better. The fresher beans and more controlled roast result in a cup of coffee that is richer and more full-flavored. If you're looking for the best possible cup of coffee, small batch roasting is the way to go.
How to roast coffee at home
There are a few things you need to know before roasting your own coffee at home. First, it's important to choose the right coffee beans. Make sure to select a high-quality coffee bean that is meant for roasting. Next, you'll need to decide on the roast profile you want. Do you want a light, medium, or dark roast?
Once you've selected your beans and roast profile, it's time to start roasting! To roast coffee at home, you'll need a coffee roaster. There are many different types of coffee roasters available on the market, so choose one that fits your budget and needs.
To start roasting, preheat your roaster according to manufacturer's instructions. Then, add your beans and begin roasting. Roast times will vary depending on the type of beans and the desired roast profile. Keep an eye on the beans and stop roasting when they reach the desired color.
Once roasted, remove the beans from the roaster and let them cool. Then, store them in an airtight container until ready to use. Enjoy your freshly roasted coffee!

ABOUT PARAGRAPHIC

Hopefully, you've noticed a trend. In 2020 we published 6 videos. In 2021 we published 4 videos. So far in 2022 we've now published 4 videos and have 6 more already shot and in editing. If we can maintain the momentum, we're aiming to publish a new episode every week this year. It's always been our dream to make this our full-time job and this year we're doing everything we can to make that a reality.
Unfortunately being at the mercy of the UA-cam algorithm makes that much more challenging. Regardless of how many views they get, every video requires the same effort and time commitment. Each one takes weeks to make from all the coordination, filming, and editing. Yet some of the videos get millions of views while others only get thousands. We just keep rolling the dice and betting on ourselves to succeed. Liking the video and leaving a comment is a huge help but sharing the video is an even better way to help the channel grow. So if you enjoy what you see, consider texting the video to some friends or family who may also be interested in seeing these stories.
Of course, sharing is free and easy, it's something everyone can do, but if you believe in what we're doing and can afford to go one step further, consider supporting our work via the Patreon we just launched. You'll get access to some of our behind-the-scenes processes and really get to see how we work. We are a small group of filmmaker friends who just want to keep doing what we love. If you can help support that, we will be forever grateful: www.patreon.com/PARAGRAPHIC
But we know there are many people on the internet competing for the money in your wallet so if you can't afford it, or simply don't think it's worth it, we completely understand. We will still tell these stories. Hopefully, they are as much a joy to watch as they are to make. If so, please consider liking, commenting, subscribing, and SHARING the video.
Thank you.
Channels like this that are educational and beautifully shot- as well as personal- they just don't exist. Its why I subscribed awhile ago and have watched every video since. And one better- these short films are encouraging! If these videos could be displayed to schools imagine the impact it would have on those young hopes and dreams that otherwise see a grey and calculated future.
There are plenty of interesting people with great projects; from car culture and paints, to leather crafts and woodworking. Truly an endless supply of content to be brought to light. Good Luck Paragraphic!
Do you think it’s better to buy coffee unroasted from other country than buying it roasted? I’m looking at buying from Asia.
Got recommended this video because I guess I view a lot of coffee related ones and so the algorithm definitely works! This video was really nicely shot and edited together. Just the production overall was really great!
Love the content in your video here! ❤
(2:37) If you would be so kind... could you please enlighten me as to where I can buy this green coffee of which you speak? On Amazon, the cheapest I find is $6.40/pound. I am doing home roasting now, and I can never go back to pre-roasted
Love this guys passion and energy. Really hope his business takes off and he can do what he loves full time
This video really spoke to me. I have been home roasting for years now. I love the reactions of my family and friends, from something I put time into. This year I am taking the leap to start a small business. This video just gives me more confidence. Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life.
Greetings from Costa Rica, i work in a coffee factory with a national trademark " Cafe Naranjo", and we use a Diedrich Roaster design for 80 pounds! Coffee is a whole world and every word you said has the right meaning we want to share about coffee.
As the owner of a small roastery, dealing in specialty coffee, I really enjoyed this documentary. Coffee is so complex!
Wow! those last words hit me hard. This is pure Art! ✨
The quality of this video is top notch. Great story, and all those macro shots are amazing!
I don't even like coffee that much but i know im gonna love this experience and come away loving coffee just because it's Paragraphic!
Team Paragraphic, you've done a commendable job in field of story telling. I could directly connect with Luke while watching this video. More power to you guys.
Another great craft documentary.
Thanks Paragraphic. Quality over quantity.
Thanks for sharing your passion with the world!
These videos are so beautifully made🙌🏽as usual paraggraphic you guys did an awesome job of film/documentary -making 💛
Your vibe and passion are so pleasantly unique! Thanks for the informative and detailed video 😊
Love the passion brother🤙🏽 Interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Loved this episode! Really well put together 🙌
another absolute home run, great job!
Another quality production from paragraphic! It's almost 7:30PM and I'm now considering brewing up a French pressed coffee...
Great video, true as soon. I have an organic tea plantation in the north of Thaïland. Since last year I’ve been exploring many roasters on Doi Chang and PANGKHON in Chiangrai province. Soon we will open a new tea and coffee shop. This video is great. I’ll be roasting on the plantation. Well done
Fantastic video! We love buying from local small roasters who are passionate about their craft. Just ordered my first bag from Lab Notes, can't wait to give it a try.
Great Guy ! I love his energy and the way he talks about coffee !
These stories you guys bring to the light are always inspiring and make me feel like I can be doing so much more. Thank you guys for sharing these experiences with us!
So many amazing people doing so many wonderful things. We just love showing up with cameras and capturing those stories.
Cool little bit of info on the toxins. Amazing video as usual!
The production quality!!!!! make them 30min long we cant get enough of these😩... Binging from Kenya
I remember as a kid in a Italian American family papa used to make me rotate a homemade contraption over some hot coals. He made strong espresso and worked all day!
Greetings from Ethiopia i love your show and i'm barista i work in a coffeeshops i know a lot about coffe process , roasting but still you can't get enough off learning about coffe, always there is a Knowledge to learn
Brilliant, i really enjoyed that 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent, thanks! Especially would agree that most of coffee in shops is overroasted. I'm roasting coffee at home more than 10 years, and have tried about 100 different kinds of coffee beans, from different regions (from coffee, directly bought from farmer at Cuba to Chinese one from Aliexpress ;)
But still, my favorite way of making coffee - "cinnamon" roast (drop it just 10-15 seconds after first crackling started) and cook it in "turka", made of thin(!!!) thermo-resistent ceramics.
Initially I've used "baharaj cawa" from Syria, now - only these ceramic pots.
IMHO taste depends significantly on the water quality, temperature, cooking duration, material of coffee pot. Seems like thin ceramics is the best (special porcelain).
Can write a lot about coffee :)
Sadly, most of people don't understand what the coffee is. They drinking some cheap crap, pushed by marketologysts... So, at least here, in Russia, real coffee is not popular enough to pay off cafe or coffee shop. Unfortunately :(
That french press pour hit the cravings. I could just smell it.
@ 4:16 - dear lord that is absolutely just the most beautiful roasted coffee I've seen in a long time...wow!
Great video! Very informative and visually stunning. Thanks for sharing!
the quality of this channel is amazing
Absolutely love the passion this guy has. What I don't like is that company's try really hard to push out their fancy unnecessary products to make coffee i mean it's nice to have that stuff but if you're just starting out you don't need all this stuff. Keep it simple and fun don't let all these fancy machines discourage you all of that will come later. I hope this helps happy roasting 🙂
The beans in your roaster look amazing.😊👍🏻
acknowledging and giving credits to those who grow the coffee.. RESPECT!
I don't hear that enough from people in the industry..
Amazing video quality as always
Love this video. Super fun to watch cause I love coffee, too. Inspiring.
Beautiful video 💕 does good to coffee growers and small roasters (who make big coffee)
You should do a documentary about paragraphic making a documentary. I love your videos and would like to learn more about your team. 😉 Good work as always.
this guy rocks. that coffee looks amazing!
This channel is so consistently great
Fantastic content, like always!
The coffee looks so good 🤤
Duuuuude, I freakin' love this content, thanks
Too true about the people growing the coffee, i often think to myself as i roast my own stuff. That those people deserve to see more profit. The quality of some of the coffee i get my paws on is just unbelievable.
Great vid! I stumbled upon “roasting “ coffee beans by mistake. I went searching for a high grade coffee for a friend for Christmas. The coffee arrived.. I went to smell it and they were unroasted green beans. I am new tithe game and very excited to learn as much as possible. My “pet peeve” now? Unevenly roasted coffee beans! 🤯😬
Amazing video. If I didn’t love coffee already I definitely would now.
This was such a solid video. Thank you for adding great content to my coffee journey
Glad you enjoyed it!
I grade you with a distinction ❤
Jah bless you bro
Glad i came across this channel. I will be starting my own journey of becoming one of the cool guys in this business. Happy roasting amigo
Top documentary as always!
I infused flavors into my green, raw coffee beans, then dry them, and afterwards roast for a very tasty, delicious and smooth brew!!!
"What is there, that's easier to do, than what you're interested in?"
I'm interested in intergalactic space travel!
...No big deal :)
Great content.. here to support you. Chase your dreams and keep ‘em coming.
Great video as always!
Your videos are awesome keep up the good work
Another great quality content!
Nice 2.0
As an owner of a coffee roasting business (Shiba Coffee and Tea Co.) I really enjoyed this
Awesome stuff 👏🏾
so inspiring! great video too
this dude is cool and has an amazing spirit!
Excelente....saludos desde colombia.....te suministramos cafe de origen nariño y huila......el mas suave del mundo!
amazing....also beautifully shot
I love this ‼️
Awesome
Most roasters are roasting medium or city. Even when it's advertised as ligh roast is generally more medium than light. It is understandable as probably 8 of 10 people won't buy coffee from them anymore if they roast light.
This is one of the reasons that I started roasting my own coffee.
brillant video!!!
Uniformity in roast color makes very happy 😂.
Well done Paragraphic. New subscriber because of the quality, and just returned from Kenya tasting coffee there. Shame on starbs for underpaying...
Paragraphic's Google search be like.
"Business owners with Long Hairs"😂💯🔥👍🏼
😂
Thank you for your deep explanation, could you help me in providing the roasting machine in Ethiopia?
Great video thanks
I really enjoyed your video
Awesome video.
Inspirational
Awesome video 👌
so nice coffee roasting profile 👍
Im assuming that you have a serial/usb interface between the computer and the coffee roaster. You should be able to get an adapter/splitter that allows your mac to sit between the two
Not all Cherry's have two coffee beans in it! My favorite coffee has only one, Peaberry!
Well done
Great video! Where is the coffee roaster from? What’s the name of the machine?
Welcome to the family my friends!!
So if we can hack that roaster, we can supply it any roasting temperature profile to optimize that then!
nice vid thanks
I would encourage everybody to pursue their passion, what is it that's easier to do besides what you're interested in. So if there's something you're interested in, yeah you should look into how you can work that into your life and there's usually a way to to do it regardless of your situation.

Can I use a insta pot duo air fryer to roast coffee? Normally I use a frying pan but I want to roast higher amounts without spending alot of money on an actual roaster.
Thanks
Love it!!!
exactly this type of awareness he is trying to bring across to viewers is what I just absolutely adore, and hence why it makes me so absolutely MAD and PISSED to see companies such as Starbucks and other "big players" alike in the industry that roast the crap out of those beans to abosolutely sh*t nearly turning them into coal.
So therefore I could not agree more, coffee is just such a wonderful and lovely resource this planet can offer to us.
awesome
Austria played a major role in bringing coffee to Europe.
Could you please recommend good quality unroasted beans?
Nice .
Oh, how I love coffee. I am really curious because I have that exact grinder. What grind did you use for the chemex?
Aside from that, It's great to see someone just going with their passion and succeeding with it.
Paragraaphic I congratulate you and thank you for your passion and the quality that you putt out as well.
For the chemex, Luke used the finest of the medium grind size.
@@PARAGRAPHIC Nice. Thanks
Have you ever roasted Arabica coffee from Vietnam?
Great cinematography, some iffy coffee facts. But good overall.
Agreed. a few to many coffee myths in here but a great overall video.
As a coffee farmer i would like to say its true coffe is labour intensive but kenyan coffe is the best
@4:00 from what I know is a cup of coffee in the afternoon may make you feel tired because it pushes your stress threshold up and causes it to rapidly decline and makes you crash whilst being awake. But if he is right about micro toxins then why would a good quality coffee make you more tired after drinking it for your 3p.m. slump? Its about the stress threshold in the body
Hello, thank you for the information. I’m thinking about opening coffee roasting business soon. Is there any way you can give me some information to help me start? Thank you.
The coffee originates from Yemen🇾🇪
