Smoked Coffee...I may be onto something...
Yesterday I had some game hens in the smoker and decided to try smoking some green Timor coffee beans,about 6 ounces..... I used apple wood for the smoke.
The beans were in the smoker for about 4 1/2 hrs,and took on a bit of grayness and a nice smokey aroma. I roasted them to full city roast and today just tried them in an espresso. There is a definite smokey character,and it really shows up in the aroma while pulling the shot as well. I will try this again......... |

Kinda reminds me of Russian Caravan Tea... the leaves are smoked which leaves a distinct smokiness to it.

Re: Smoked Coffee...I may be onto something...
I had been wondering about this. I've never roasted coffee, but it seems like most tumble or agitate the beans to create a more uniform roast. Was this a problem in the smoker? Or did you stir them?

Did not roast them in the smoker,just smoked them.THEN I roasted them in a roaster.
Smoker temps are around 225-275 for smoking purposes. Roasting coffee starts around 390 and runs to 430 or so,depending on how dark you want it. |

Re: Smoked Coffee...I may be onto something...
Did another trial ,combined Terrazu and Bali in the smoker,this time for 6 hours.The beans took on a nice golden brown color,and have a very smoky aroma.I used about 4 oz of each,let it sit for 24 hours before roasting,and roasted to midway through second crack.
In espresso there is a noticeable smoky taste,a slight smoky aroma,and in a drip machine you get a little of the smoke flavor,less aroma. These two beans are compatible to co-roast,and as espresso do a passable job mixed 50-50. |
