2. Add 1lb or less raw coffee beans to the pan
3. Stir vigorously in both directions and shake occasionally - never stop stirring and shaking throughout the entire roast
4. When you hear a crackling sound you have reached first crack (light roast)
5. If you achieved first crack in less than 7 minutes turn the heat down a little - you want to extend the total roasting time to over 10 minutes but less than 15 minutes
6. Start looking in the pan and listening carefully
7. If you continue roasting there will be a second crack (dark roast) - second crack is not as loud as first crack
8. Never roast too long after second crack or the coffee will burn
