Proof of Roasting your coffee 🫘 Fren and #GM Fren #God 🙏 is #Great 🌞 have an amazing day today. A cold, and lively night in the Windy City. 🌃💨 I just uploaded a new peaceful stroll through Chicago's historic Old Town. We start at North Ave, head down Wells Street past the legendary comedy clubs, and soak in the last bits of 2025. Perfect for high-quality background vibes or a virtual trip to Chicago.

Some like it oily, but I prefer to stop before the oil comes out, somewhere between first and second crack. Give it a taste, tho. Fresh roasted bean is hard to beat, even if it's not perfect. Are you roasting in a pan?

Thanks. I prefer medium roast. It got dark and oily a lot quicker than I though. about 4 min. I think I’ll cut the time in half next time. I’m using a popcorn machine. I’ve put it in glass jar. Should I leave it for a couple days or good to go straight after toast?

I started roasting in a popcorn popper. Good times. They do roast pretty quickly. For a medium roast, you could aim to stop the roast when you hear first crack (tiny lil audible pops) start to wind down. You can drink whenever, but I do find I enjoy it more after letting it rest a few days. There's no wrong way, though. If you enjoy it, you're doing it right!

Have you got a preference for the beans from specific countries?

I enjoy beans from many origins, but find myself coming back to Guatemala most often.

Use the same amount of beans, same heat, vary the time, you will settle on an ideal recipe. if you think your burning them it’s probably ok. I like light roast and have under roasted only like 2 times

Thanks for the tip. I’ll probably half the time next roast 🙏 ☕️
