METHOD FOR PRODUCING ROASTED COFFEE BEANS, COFFEE BEAN ROASTER, AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AMOUNT OF CARBON MONOXIDE GENERATED FROM ROASTED COFFEE BEANS

摘要

Provided are: a method for producing coffee beans whereby, in the production of coffee beans roasted to a desired level, coffee beans having an exact roasting level can be produced without depending upon the skill of an operator producing the coffee beans; a coffee bean roaster; and a method for determining the amount of carbon monoxide generated from roasting coffee beans. The method for producing coffee beans is a method for producing roasted coffee beans comprising the step of supplying heat to coffee beans and thus roasting the coffee beans, wherein the method comprises the steps of measuring an amount of carbon monoxide generated from the coffee beans during roasting, and adjusting a roasting condition in a roasting step in which heat is supplied to coffee beans, thus roasting the coffee beans, based on a measurement result obtained at the time of measurement of the amount of carbon monoxide.
