How long do you roast it for?

[driven]

I like to give my beans a nice long roast because I like a nice dark and strong coffee. How long do you like to roast your beans for?

Hello, driven! Welcome!
I roast them till they're ready....When I know they are ready? - I control this process and of course I stir the beans while they're roasting. I like medium roast, so when the berries are brownish colored, I stop the process and start grinding

I like mild roast because darker roast give too bitter coffee, and I don't stand it.

I roast my beans until the first crack - I've recently discovered that this way the beans are perfect for me and seem to bring heavenly pleasure to my palate when drinking coffee from them...

It may seem odd but I like my beans as black as night and strong as Titan So I choose French roast which is the ultimate level of roast and the strongest one.

You must be like me then. Other people do not want to drink my coffee! Still I am a good host and have different coffees for different people.

I finally tried roasting at home and it took something about 10 mins. But I like medium roast, so you will probably need about 15mins to reach that dark color.

Good luck with that!

The time required might depend on roasting method. And of course if you want darkest roast that will add a minimum of 5 mins. Might take even 20 mins in the whole, so I hope you have enough patience.
