Roasting: The Art Of Coffee

Roasting: The Art Of Coffee
By. Robert Carlton

If you have a craving for cheesecake you would go to a caf or bakery. Where do people go who want fresh roasted coffee beans? Coffee bean bakeries are not always available, but there are always local coffee shops that do their own roasting. These shops will do just fine. The great thing about local roasters is that they will often have highly trained staff along with special recipes that can only be found in that one shop. This not only provides the customers with incredible coffee, but also with consistency and uniqueness. These shops typically also have the cappuccino machines so that the cappuccinos and coffee can be enjoyed right there.

Roasting coffee is considered an art and is not just as simple as developing a new coffee flavor. The size, shape, color, and density of the bean all come into play when roasting coffee and this takes special training and method. Each type of bean will require a different roasting temperature and time to bring out the best qualities of the bean. The differences are subtle but vivid enough that they can be made out. It can be compared to eating a cake that was baked by a master pastry chef or baking one out of a box. The coffee roasters work on extracting the best qualities from the bean and knowing what characteristics are specific to what beans and focused on flavors that way. Coffee purchased from the local store in a can has been roasted and roasting can even be done at home with a machine, but a roasting expert knows things about the process that the average coffee lover would not. The deep roasting that takes place brings out the best body, flavor, and acidity. The finished product should bring about sensations of liveliness and dancing on the tongue. When roasting is not done appropriately and to the highest standards the delight of the coffee can be lost.

Roasting should be done at the right speed. It should be a slow process and not a rushed one. It is said that the expert roasters actually talk to their beans to ensure they are meeting the needs of their beans. The beans are to be roasted all the way through and the process should never be cut short. Cracking a bean open after it is roasted is the best way to see if the bean is roasted properly. The bean should be darker on the inside. Beans that are darker on the outside are roasted poorly. This could result in poor coffee and wasted money. Follow the advice and suggestions of the roaster and you are guaranteed a great coffee.
