Does coffee at home consist of a jar of instant coffee, and a cup of boiling water?  If so you are missing out on the real coffee at home experience. You are missing our on the great taste of real coffee. Why? Becasue coffee growers carefully tend their coffee plantations with loving care and attentions in an effort to ensure that the humble coffee bean is nurtured to its full potential. The Coffee beans are carefully roasted to the perfect temperature after which they are sealed to lock in their full flavour and rich aroma.

However, bowing to pressure from home coffee drinkers and a society brought up on fast foods, fast cars, fast computers and instant gratification, coffee manufacturers have given in and now take some of those exquisitely roasted beans and grind them up for us, crystallize them, and then freeze dry them. Sadly, this process takes out most of the flavour and aroma that the growers worked so hard to preserve.

The first thing you need for perfect home coffee is you own coffee roaster. These coffee machines let you roast your green coffee beans at home. These home roasters allow you to custom roast several ounces of beans at a time. You'll need to practice with the timer and temperature to get an even roast each time. However, happy customers proclaim that their home coffee is now better than anything available in the stores.

The home coffee roaster doesn't help unless you have some green coffee beans to roast. Green unroasted coffee beans can be purchased in bulk in bags of five pounds or larger. You can choose exactly which coffee you want to roast. Choose a brand such as Colombian, which has large beans and brews a sweet, full bodied rich coffee. You can also pick a Costa Rican bean that is very smooth with a balanced acidity and subtle, chocolate undertones for your home coffee experience.

You've just roasted your home coffee beans. What's next? Activate your home coffee grinder and smell the aroma of hot coffee beans as it fills your home. Grinding the coffee increases its surface area so that the hot water can reach every nook and cranny of the rich dark beans. Quality home coffee grinders cut the beans instead of crushing them.

There is one more step in your home coffee quest: the coffee maker. Drip style home coffee makers are popular. Consider a coffee press instead. Insert your freshly roasted beans into the home coffee press along with hot (not boiling) water, and your home coffee odyssey is finished in 3 to 5 minutes. Next time you have guests over, the steps you use to make coffee at home can become part of the entertainment.
