Yes. The results are worth it if you have the proper equipment. I did it on a pan in the oven, and it made a huge - if aromatic - mess. The beans pop and crack as they roast. There is shrapnel...
How did you separate the parchment or did you just leave that on? I separated the fruit from the pit/bean by hand and then there's the part where the dried bean has the parchment which is a pain to remove by hand. Or do you just grind it up parchment and all?
Parchment? Lol - I just followed guidance from my father after he saw it done at the household level in Brazil in the 80s. I completed my attempts 25 years ago, so apparently I ground, brewed and drank it! House smelled lovely afterwards. Oven smelled for a while longer...
lmao... How did you end up solving this?
I surrendered after two tries. I have an espresso machine and require a darker roast/longer roast/more shrapnel. It was an interesting experiment, but I just buy roasted whole beans from the pros - or maybe a couple dolts working out of their basement.
