    Roasting green coffee beans unlocks their full flavour. You can use a stovetop popcorn maker, oven, or a home coffee roaster. Preheat your equipment and keep the beans moving for an even roast. As they heat, you'll hear cracks—these signal different roast stages, from light to dark. Lighter roasts bring out bright, fruity notes, while darker roasts develop bold, rich flavours. Once roasted to your preference, cool the beans quickly to lock in the taste.
