Place a big pan that has a thick base over high heat (the exact heat will depend on the thickness of your pan). Add in a thin layer of coffee beans so that they toast more uniformly. Don’t stop moving the pan and stirring the beans by using a wooden spoon, until it has reached the desired color. If you want them to toast darkly, turn up the heat to the full and they will darken very quickly.
Coffee in the Oven
This will definitely provide you with a more uniform toast… and will be less odorous. Pre heat the oven at 260 degrees Celsius. When the oven has heated enough, place a tray inside it and let it sit in there for two or three minutes. Then place a thin layer of coffee beans in and toast them for ten minutes. Take them out of the oven and then place them back in and continue toasting, taking the coffee beans out every two minutes to be able to stir them around until they obtain the desired color.
In some parts of the world un-toasted green coffee beans are fermented to make wine. Freshly picked coffee beans are also crushed with fat or bananas and are turned into food.
Coffee Additives
The two most common coffee additives are chicory and figs although, in the Middle East spices such as cardamom, ginger, cinnamon are frequently added a few moments after toasting or while preparing a cup of coffee to drink.
Chicory is amongst the favorite of the French and the French mixes and toasted coffee beans often have it in them. Fig seasoning is usually added mainly in Austria and most of the coffees described as Viennese have fig seasoning in them.
