It is not common to meet green coffee beans in grocery stores, but there is a whole store in Auckland that sells green coffee beans.I had to try as soon as I knew it was possible.There are two parts for the Baker and the gasket.I ended up making two versions of the bakers, but the spacers work fine.Like all my projects, I did this baker at Techshop.This also includes 100 things in my challenge to myself.I purchased steel hardware cloth from Cole's hardware and several pipe clamps to keep the shape of the cylinder.A simple three-steel rod and some pipe caps came off the grill.I installed metal parts in Techshop mainly because I like to work there and also because they have good tin cuts which make it easier to work.This is easy to do at home.After the first roasting, we found that the 1/4 squares in the hardware cloth were too big for many beans (half of the eshibia Beans spilled because we were about to put them on the grill) so, we lined the glass with aluminum foil to improvise for the day.It worked but made me find a place with a smaller opening to improve the baker.The gasket is not so obvious, but it is necessary in my case, as the grill we use is brand new and the steel bars damage the sides.This piece can be optional depending on your grill.I looked at the dimensions of the grill and took out a plywood gasket on the CNC millat Techshop, which has a rod passage and sits nicely at the bottom of the grill.I suggest the following if you make it yourself :-Cut out a ring with space inside and outside the bottom edge of the grill-Provide a groove for the bottom of the grill to sit in.This will stabilize the gasket and maintain its position while baking.-Cut a channel through the center diameter of the ring so that the roaster's steel bar sits inside while turning --I also put a groove on the top of the lid and I would suggest not to do so.The lid will stand still on its own, and if the end of the lid is thin metal like this, if the lid is placed in the groove, it will actually hinder the rotation of the rebar bar.Not surprisingly, the first two roasts turned brown due to exposure to high temperatures, so I wrapped the wood in foil to protect it.The next improvement will be to find the hardware cloth with the asmaller grid, which may connect a slow-Speed motor, wood protection.V1 also asked me to look for a more robust solution for the end cap as the fit for these parts was excellent, but the little beans found a way out.Interesting fact: Do you know that coffee beans will lose moisture when baked, and the size will increase?Take a look at the photos of the same batch of green coffee beans above.The second version provides us with a lot of barbecue.Below is a list of improvements to the baking machine, although the gasket remains the same after adding protective foil.1.New wire cloth.The opening of the First Silk cloth is large, and some beans pass through the opening, so we use aluminum foil to line the inside.Functional solution, but this makes it more difficult to check the color of the beer throughout the baking process, and also prevents the natural grain shell from falling off during this process.2.New end caps.Stronger, longer, easier to drill.I fixed one end cap on the steel bar and the other end cap floated so that the beans could be removed more easily and the beans could be removed quickly.3.Bought a window from my hardware store.Simple solution to make the whole process more enjoyable (window crank and epoxy ).4.We put aluminum foil on the plywood cut on the grill.This is to protect the wood from the effects of high temperature and looks very good.We also learned some knowledge about baking.A.It's almost impossible to get heat even in the grill, but after two roasts, we came up with an idea to pick up the whole roaster and shake the beans a few times throughout the baking process, to ensure that all people are heated more or less evenly.The photo above shows a person holding a Baker before the weather is hot, but nothing wrong --When you shake the Baker, you will want work gloves or at least kitchen gloves.Before we thought about it, there were baking shops everywhere.Take a look at the photo above and you will see the whole baking process from our first batch.B.The grill should be horizontal, otherwise all the beans will eventually fall to the low end of the grill.It seems obvious now.) C.It's convenient to have a barbecue in a windy place.After we poured the beans into a metal spoon, I stirred the beans and cooled them, and the extra beans drifted away.So with the help of two of my Mr Viking, we had a productive and relaxing afternoon.The heat of the four baking leaves the little bakers with old shades, but it still seems perfect for future baking.
