VIDEO: Roasting our Own Home Grown Coffee!


We are FINALLY roasting our own home grown coffee. For the past 6 years we have enough coffee beans to roast and enjoy. This is an experience I won’t ever forget and a humbling one at that. Check out our new clothing line! http:www.freshpickedapparel.com

  1. Why are 10-12 gal biggest you can get? I have 20, 30 gal and 65 gal fabric pots and I know you can order 100+ gal. Up to about 1000 if you want. Fabric pot are awesome for adding space. Yes dry out faster get a big enough pot for what you grow. Example get a 15 gal for a single tomato plant. My 20 gal was full of beets spaced about 4”. As much as would fit. You can grab a 5 pack of 30 gal for like $30-$35 on amazon.

  2. I actually ordered some coffee seeds from the site. I was hoping they would be ok for the Mi weather. My wishlist is huge you have such a fantastic variety of seeds 😀

  3. I just found you from your video when your tree was 3 years old teaching how to grow a tree. I'm in love with your content. Cheers!

  4. congratulations. I've ordered coffee beans from you and can't wait to get them started. But wow… six years for one pot of coffee? So sad. I want a coffee forrest!

  5. We have been roasting green coffee beans at home for several years now. Green beans have a long shelf life but once roasted the oils make it perishable. Sourcing green beans is the most difficult. We have found a source of green beans in Seattle. And yes the process produces the nirvana you describe: the smell of fresh roast!

  6. But is it any good? I've heard that coffee is only good if the bean comes from the proper conditions, like wine grapes, and part of the reason for the high cost of free trade organic coffee.

    For home coffee roasting I recommend the Fresh Roast coffee roaster. Really easy to use and gets rid of the guess work if you're new to coffee roasting. It only takes about 9 min to get to a dark roast and it has a chamber at the top to catch the chaff.

  8. What temperature did you dry your beans at? I have been drying beans from my own coffee tree but when the husk is removed the beans are all a dark grey or black color as opposed to the green or light grey of the green coffee I buy. Am I drying them out too slowly? Will they eventually change color? I still have some cherries ripening on my tree and want to make sure I do it right so I don't mess up what I have left.

  9. Just a suggestion for the roasting… check out using an old air popcorn popper. And you want to do it outdoors as it is a really stinky process!

  10. My husband and I are enjoy watching your videos! We’ve learned so much from your channel. We bought coffee seeds from your store, we have been following your journey of your coffee bush for awhile now!
