Preheat pan over medium heat. Pan has to be hot.

Add beans and start stirring.

Keep beans moving but don't be too aggressive.

Beans will start to change colors in 8-10 minutes from green to yellow, to a golden brown, light brown to dark brown.

Watch for an even progression of color change. You may need to adjust heat if it seems like they are missing a color step.

At the 5 minute mark, the beans should be turning from golden to light brown.

Around this time, there will be a "crack" sound.

Coffee can be brewed at this time and it is up to your taste at how dark of a bean you desire.

Beans continue to cook during the cooling process so stop at least a shade lighter than what you want.

When the first crack is done, shortly after there will be a second crack but you are getting close to burning them.

When beans are done, pour into a metal colander and continue to stir.

The chaff will fall through the holes. Make sure to get rid of most of the chaff.

Allow cooling for 6 hours.
