I just recently fell down the coffee rabbit hole and this is by far the most wholesome, calm, relaxing, evidence based coffee video ever. Thank you for mentioning how expensive coffee gear is, it's cool seeing people pull insane espresso shots and have 2k worth of gear, but this is way more accessible and cute.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Its really wild to see how far coffee technology has come. Though, I would be lying if I said I didn't envy those channels with fancy machines from time to time😅
Glad this came to my feed. I've always wanted to roast my own coffee to my liking (real sujper light, I want those cereal acidic tastes that you mentioned) but I was discouraged from the information I got where I would have needed a dedicated roaster. Seeing that you can do it with a pan, I guess it's definitely worth the try now. Thanks for the vid!
Awesome! The ultra light roasts are really fun to drink(sorta reminds me of apricots and citrus). Those gadget people can be a little discouraging, but hang in there! It might take a couple tries to get things nice and even with the pan, but its definitely worth it. Thanks for watching!
Good afternoon sir, i always had thought that coffee roasting is only done using those big rolling barrels that heat up the coffee beans, but i guess that really is just a more economical way of heating up the beans, it looks rather easy to do using a pan so i might be doing that when i am bored lol. and the mom lore at the end haha
Good afternoon! Someday I'll have to figure out how to make a bootleg coffee roaster, but for now the pan will suffice haha! Also, Mama Chicken says hi!
New channel 👍Do you know if these 100$ ish hand grinders have stamped out burrs ? I have a KinGrinder 6 that seems to not have a consistent grind despite all it's positive reviews. Just ordered a Kilo of the exact beans you roasted. Wish me luck. lol
Welcome to the channel! I've personally never worked with a kingrinder before, but it appears to be a true conical burr grinder. The inconsistency could be due to a few different reasons. -Huge uneven chunks would most likely be due to loose or wonky bearings/burr housing, which would cause a little wobble. It seems like the build quality is pretty good, so I'd say that it's unlikely, but might be worth a peek(theres a few yt videos that do a quick breakdown). -If you have a problem with lots of fine powder, it could be down to the beans themselves. High altitude crops like Ethiopian and Ecuadorian beans can produce more fine powder than other regions even when ground on a coarse setting. -Lastly if the grind isn't consistent with the indicated numbers on the dial, there are a few folks that say the dial setting on the k6 is off by about 3-5 clicks. So, when you go to zero it out, a zero indicated might not be a true zero. I'm probably missing a few things, but I hope this helps! Also, good luck with your Yirgachefe!
A cast iron skillet is great for giving a nice consistent level of heat, and I do use one for roasting once in a while. Its just a little bit difficult to keep the beans from falling out! I usually go for a cast iron pot/dutch oven thing with slightly higher sides just because I tend to stir pretty vigorously. Hope this helps!
@@MrChickensKitchen Have done 3 roasts of Ethiopian in the pan so far. ALL have turned out good ! (haven't tried the cast iron yet). Who needs a roaster !? This does the job !

Wow this was such a a high quality video and I expected to see at least 50K subscribers. You are criminally underrated.
Thank you!

Looks like the best cup of coffee in the world! 😊
Its hard to beat a fresh roast!

Your videos are amazing! I'd love to see your take on some German cuisine. Käsespätzle, Maultaschen, or Schnitzel are all great.
Thank you so much! I'm definitely gonna have to add German food to the list!
Ahhh, now I understand! I'll be roasting my own coffee soon.
Awesome!
Wow that's surprisingly even roast! I usually use a popcorn air popper for my coffee beans, but next time I'll revisit the pan. Thanks Mr. Chicken.
Air poppers are great too! Thanks for watching!
Excellent!
Thank you!

@@MrChickensKitchen Thank you. BTW viewing/live in the Philippines :)
@@JMgmkh Awesome!
Do you think a cast iron skillet would work for this , or better a pot similar to yours ?
