Roasting Coffee

Roasting green coffee beans is as easy as on fire using the same traditional instruments: a flat bowl out of sheet-metal and a metal spatula. The taste of the ethiopian coffee is usually even better as the roasting process is somewhat slower at the beginning when the beans are white and the heat is mainly produced by the metall dish. Finally the roasting process speeds up when the meanwhile black beans collect the light from the top themselves.
