Instructions for Roasting Green Coffee Beans

---

Remove top and basket assembly.

Fill the provided 43cc measuring cup 4 times (up to 120 gms.). Never overfill with green coffee beans.

Place glass roasting chamber on the base unit; place basket and top cap on glass chamber.

Set fan dial in the middle position, set timer to 5.9 minutes, set temperature to high. If beans are not fluid and moving, increase fan speed until beans are fluid and moving.

Allow beans to cool and machine to turn off before removing top, basket, and glass chamber.

Allow beans a minimum of 3 hours to degas/cool before grinding and brewing.

Tips:

Remember all green coffee beans roast differently, with some roasting much quicker than others.

• If your beans are not dark enough after 5.9 minutes, you can raise the temperature by switching to HIGH temperature or add time with the (+) button before the machine goes into the "COOL" mode. Every time you tap the (+) button it will add six seconds and the (-) button will subtract 6 seconds from the roast sequence.
• Lowering the fan speed will also increase temperature. If your beans are dense or 4 scoops weighs over 120 grams you should dry the beans. Set the fan on the maximum speed and the temperature on LOW. Allow the beans to dry for approximately 2 minutes. Switch the HEAT to Medium or HIGH depending on how dark you want your beans. Adjust the fan speed so the beans are fluid throughout the roasting sequence.

CAUTION: Over roasting beans can create smoke. If this occurs, tap the COOL button. Do not tap the STOP button or unplug the machine.
