After a couple of minutes, the bean starts to release their coffee oils, and the host should make sure not to burn them, the result of this process is dark brown, shiny, and oily roasted beans. Once roasted, they place it in a flat basket, which is passed around the participants so they can enjoy the aroma. The beans are then grinded in a wooden mortar and pestle using their hands.
