The roasting process is the process of frying something without using oil. The roasting processes raw materials into cooked or ready-to-eat ingredients. The purpose of the roasting is to get a certain taste using heat transfer methods either without media or using sand. When the roasting process occurs, the coffee beans undergo physical changes, one of which is the water content due to heat transfer from the roasting medium to the material. During the roasting process, evaporation of water content occurs and the coffee beans will experience a decrease in mass. Coffee bean roasting machines with stove heat sources from gas fuel are currently being developed. The use of gas fuel is sometimes difficult to regulate a constant temperature because it depends on the valve setting to exit the gas flow on the stove. On the other hand if incomplete combustion occurs it will affect the flavour of the roasted coffee beans. The purpose of this study was to test a coffee roasting machine with an electric element heat source. Roasting machine testing with a time of 50 minutes produces an average temperature of 196.64 °C with a final moisture content of 3.61%. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
