  • Page 8: Coffee Roasting- A Brief History

    II - Coffee Roasting- A Brief History It wasn’t that long ago that it was common for people to buy raw coffee beans from the stores and then roast these at home for fresh coffee. That was particularly true in rural areas that were removed from the small roasters found in city neighborhoods.

  • Page 9: Introduction To The Roasting Process

    III - Introduction to the Roasting Process The changes that the coffee bean goes through during the roasting process are amazing. Those small, hard beans, when properly exposed to controlled heat, grow in size and change in color, becoming the source of one of the world’s most cherished beverages.

  • Page 10: Timing

    *NOTE: KN-8828 - These times are taken using a stopwatch, starting from when the beans were added to the roaster KN-8828D - Starting with 19 minutes programmed time on the machine, these are the times as indicated on the digital display as the machine counts down the roasting time.

  • Page 16: Cleaning And Care (All Models)

    V - Cleaning and care (all models) Roasting coffee can be a bit messy. The chaff that comes off the beans, bits and pieces of coffee beans, and stray beans themselves can get strewn about in and out of the roaster. To create the best coffee possible, to ensure safe operation, and to extend the life of your Hottop Coffee Roaster, it is very important to do some regular maintenance and cleaning.

  • Page 17: Replacing The Drum

    a. Start by removing the cooling tray (3), chaff-collecting tray (4), heat safety guards, and bean loading cover (2) Now unscrew the gold knob (5) and take the front cover (6) off, as described above. It is best to place all removed parts off to the side where they won’t get knocked off the counter or into the sink.

  • Page 18: Roasting Styles Overview

    VI - Roasting styles overview This section contains a brief explanation of the various roasts you can achieve with the Hottop Coffee Roast- er, and will give you a general idea of how roast level affects taste. There are numerous factors that affect the roast level at a given time or level setting on the machine.

  • Page 19: Experiment With Roasts

    CAUTION Be careful when trying to do very dark roasts. Second crack marks a time when you have to be especially attentive. The darker you roast, the faster the roasting progresses, and when second crack has started, things can happen very quickly, and sometimes they are not good things. When roasting dark it is impor- tant to be ready with a finger near the “Eject”...

  • Page 20: Central-American, Colombian And African Coffees

    Whenever roasting a variety of coffee that is new to you or from a new crop or vendor, and particularly when learning to use the Hottop Coffee Roaster, start with a mid-level roast level (“4” on the KN-8828, or 19 minutes on the KN-8828D).

  • Page 21: What's Best? You Decide

    If the roasted coffee comes out too light try using a longer cycle (program more time into the KN-8828D or use a higher roast number on the KN-8828). You can also reduce the batch size to 230 grams of beans. If, on the other hand, the roasted coffee comes out too dark, try increasing the batch size to 270 grams or decreasing the roast time.

  • Page 22: Dark And Decaf Coffee

    Dark and Decaf Coffee Be careful when roasting very darkly. When you reach second crack, the cracks first increase in pace, be- come quite active, then decrease again. If you hear the frequency and number of the cracks during second crack begin to slow down it is a warning that must not be ignored.

  • Page 23: Keep Records

    Experiment! There is no rule. Even try two measures in eight ounces. It makes for a strong, rich cup. Maybe not to your liking, but give it a try! Bitterness also comes from over-roasted coffee. Roast too dark and a lot of the elements that “mask” the bitterness are burned away or changed chemically so the bitterness becomes dominant, and that is not a pleasant taste to most people.
