I tried roasting coffee in a cast iron wok and I burned the coffee pretty badly. The problem with cast iron is that it retains heat so well and it is very slow to react to changes in the heat source because it has so much ability to retain heat. Using a stainless steel or carbon steel pan resulted in a more even roast for me. Nothing against cast iron! I love it for most purposes.

I've read that if you blend coffee from multiple regions after roasting, it's called a melange blend, sometimes written as mélange instead. And I've read elsewhere that if you roast a single origin light, then roast that same single origin dark and blend the two roasts into one batch, then it's also called a mélange. The stirring method definitely created something that visually looked like a mélange blend to me, but in a single roast! I'll bet LeRoy's batch tasted interesting! But Dean's method is definitely more reliable and it's definitely easier to prevent scorching that way. And I'll bet Dean's intentional mélange blend was wonderful to drink. I'll really have to try using coffee for a meat rub -- maybe with a bourbon whiskey deglaze? And there's also an arabica coffee cultivar called bourbon! Bourbon steak time!

Awesome vid, can't wait to try this. I'm a huge cast iron fan myself, as that's all we had growing up in a log cabin in beautiful northern Wisconsin, and I'm dying to try roasting with my pellet smoker grill. I would imagine the smoke flavor would transfer to the beans, like everything else it grills. Will probably roast the beans to my liking, then put them in the smoker on full smoke for a few minutes, temp would only be about 150-175, just for a nice smoky taste. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Do you use a dedicated skillet just for roasting coffee? I imagine using a “well seasoned” cast iron skillet can impart off flavors in the roasted beans i.e., bacon grease, fried chicken, etc... Has this been an issue for you? Cheers!
@outdoorcastironcook
6 жыл бұрын
I was excited about the prospect of imparting flavors into other foods, but it just hasn't happened... I do use the same skillet each time, but have not found it to impart any flavors from coffee roasting to something else cooked in that skillet. Most likely, because I don't roast the coffee beans to the point to where the oil from the beans comes to the surface to transfer onto the skillet.

Thanks to you I tried my first two batches of roasting coffee tonight in a cast iron pan. I gauged the temperature but the timing was really hard to manage. My first batch went for 10 minutes and it looks like a lighter roast. I wanted to go 12 minutes on the next for a dark roast but ended up going 6-7 before the beans got really dark and oily so I took them off. How long should I let them rest and should I keep them in a ziploc bag with a small vent hole? They are starting to smell pretty good!

Lance, I don't usually rest mine, but the flavor does get better with each passing day. Roasters usually go 1 week, 2 weeks top. The only downfall with grinding and brewing fresh roasted coffee, is the, "Bloom" (It really foams up quite a bit when you brew it) You are most likely going to experience flavors you've never thought would come from coffee on that lighter roast stuff and the caffeine level will be higher. I'd recommend you blend the dark roast with the medium & light roast... Get the best of two worlds. Enjoy and Have Fun & Keep Us Posted!!!
