Nuvo Eco Ceramic Handy Coffee Bean Roaster

In this engaging video, Quinn, also known as QP, shares his experience with a unique DIY coffee roasting kit. Excited to try out the gift from Jordan's mom, Quinn provides a detailed review for his audience. The kit, sourced from Man Crates, includes a traditional Japanese roasting tool called a Horoku, typically used for tea and sesame seeds. However, Man Crates repurposed it for roasting coffee, making it an intriguing and creative gift idea. Alongside the Horoku, the kit comprises two green coffee beans from Mexico and Honduras, along with storage tins and a helpful instruction booklet with colorful illustrations.

Quinn begins by explaining the distinctive design of the ceramic roasting tool. The hollow handle and cavity allow for easy swirling of the coffee beans or tea leaves, preventing spillage during roasting. He highlights a clever feature in the tool: a tunnel that enables blowing away the chaff, the outer layer of the coffee beans, which tends to separate during roasting. Quinn admires the novelty of the tool and proceeds to roast the coffee, following the instructions meticulously. He observes the changing aroma and color of the beans as they roast, relaying his excitement to his viewers.

After the roasting process, Quinn demonstrates the chaff removal technique using the hollow handle of the Horoku. Although it creates a bit of a mess, he manages to remove most of the chaff by blowing through the tool. Next, he pours the roasted coffee into a sieve, removing any remaining chaff and allowing the beans to cool. Quinn expresses his satisfaction with the cooling process facilitated by the sieve's design. Finally, he transfers the freshly roasted coffee into a container and eagerly waits until the next morning to taste it.

The following day, Quinn eagerly prepares a cup of coffee using the freshly roasted beans. Using an AeroPress, he skillfully brews his coffee, emphasizing his lack of expertise in coffee preparation and seeking understanding from passionate coffee aficionados. Quinn and Jordan, who joins him briefly, savor the freshly brewed coffee, commenting on its mildness and smooth flavor profile. Both are impressed with the overall experience and acknowledge the potential appeal of the Man Crates coffee roasting kit as a unique gift option. Quinn concludes the video by encouraging viewers to share their own experiences with coffee roasting and inviting them to subscribe to his channel for more engaging content.
