Roasting at Home: From Green Beans to a Perfect Cup

Millions of people roast their own coffee daily – most of them in a pan over an open flame!
Hulling is simply the process of removing the brittle parchment shell to reveal the green coffee bean inside. It’s the last step before roasting.

Fresh, home-roasted coffee is on another level and until you try it you just won’t know what you’re missing.
