Secrets Of Coffee Roasting, Demystified
I started roasting coffee as a home roaster. Home was easier than I thought. And as I did, I thought how ... simple concept, the roasted coffee beans was crazy
I started roasting coffee as a home roaster. Home was easier than I thought. And as I did, it occurred to me how a relatively simple, roasted coffee beans was made to appear as an expert on arcane arts, with a variety of roasts that tended arcane knowledge. How many different names have been run through the different types of coffee roasts? Light, medium and dark? Espresso? Continental? Vienna, French, Italian, Spanish? In the city? Complete the city? Come on, who believes in these things? Well, the dark secret (pardon the pun) of the coffee industry is, well, there really is no complete agreement on the roast is which. So basically we are all more or less get to look around, try different coffees from different sources and choose (s) we love. In this article, I will try to use the standard nomenclature, and match it to a process of observation of color and texture anyone can judge for yourself.
The adventure begins with the roasting of green coffee beans. They are stored at room temperature, the moisture content of 12-15%. Roasting is done at temperatures up to 450 degrees F. + Time and temperature determine the roast.
A coffee bean will heat until the internal temperature of the bean reaches approximately 212-240 degrees F. At this stage, the outer layer of the bean (s) will discolor, turning a nice cinnamon color. Here, steam will begin to be released from the bean.
Since prayer is heated further (about 250-300 degrees F, again depending on the variety), the outer membrane of dried beans and begin to separate from the bean itself. At about 350 degrees F, forcing the continued warming of the bean crack "first." This cracking occurs as moisture within is released through the existing seam in the bean. This major blow to this small crack open, forcing the separation of the remaining bean 'chaff'.
Coffee at this stage is light brown, going on stage, the "City of Light roast." City Roast is usually performed at a slightly higher temperature (above 370 degrees F), where the sugars in the bean start melting or 'carmelizing. "This gives the color of the distinctive' coffee brown '. City Roasts are usually stopped around 400 degrees. more or less. At this point, the sugars are completely caramelized, and the flavor of the beans at this stage are largely determined by their origin, not by the degree of toasting.
The stage of "Full City Roast" occurs at higher temperatures, such as beans in the phase of "second chance". This stage happens at different temperatures for different beans based on variety. The second crack comes Bean as temperatures reach the point where the cellular composition of the grains begin to decompose. To reach the full city roast, roasting is stopped just when this second crack starts (approx 425-435 degrees F.) At this point, prayer is dark brown, but "dry" out, as oil Bean has not begun to emerge through the molecular distribution of beans.
Going into the second crack, we arrive in Vienna, Continental, French and / or Italian roast stages. These are sometimes called "Espresso Roast", although strictly speaking, there is no such thing. Italian espresso blends varied - North mixtures are typically roasted to the stage of "Vienna" and the second crack, where the sugar in the grains are almost entirely beans caramelized and well within the roast will appear dark brown with hints of fissures. espresso blends in southern Italy are usually roasted in the "French Roast" stage, where almost all the beans will be about one shade removed from black and oils will start from some beans.Beyond this point, the beans begin to release the oils and their soluble compounds - mainly as a lot of smoke, but the beans will be left quite dark with a burst very fat. Provided they have not yet completely burned, which can be specified as "Italian Roast".
An interesting note of coffee roasting is that as beans to come in the second crack, they tend to lose any distinctive flavor varieties. Is this a bad thing? Well, for some, maybe ... For my part I mutter a bit if my Ethiopian Yirgacheffe goes past Full City and I lose distinctive flavor notes, and in my early roasting career I almost cried like a lot to choose popular Puerto Rican were ignored in the kingdom roast Italian before I managed to get back to it. But ... some varieties do better in the French scene Roast distinctive. De Gustibus non disputandum EST - it just does not pay to challenge the result in the cup
And that is coffee roasting. I have seen many advertisements for "slow-roasted 'or' deep roast" coffee, which always makes me wonder. I suppose if you roast a huge amount of beans in a low temperature ... why yes, it would actually be a slow process definitely a roaster to get beans to a certain roast point and no further, you should be specific and not to burn the product quickly. But I can not say that I want to take longer than necessary to so.As for 'deep' roasting? Hmm. Can not say I've never heard of 'shallow' roasting, but anyway, "roast depth "should be the opposite Seriously, the only" trick of the trade "that I can think is contrary to the notion of holding beans at a given temperature ...
To some extent this is unavoidable, so the experienced roaster will compensate for this by knowing his roasting environment and ideally provide a cooling location where beans can cool as rapidly as possible by the flow of cold (the temperature either ambient) air cooler roasted. This allows them to "coast" in color and characteristic flavor final. Andy White, for coffee Roastmaster Coudy. If you use the article in HTML, a link resource set as a hyperlink.

I have observed at different temperatures (within the roaster) for all these steps depending on the bean variety - so my roasts reach the second crack, they tend to trust my eyes and ears more than I trust my probe thermometer.
namely when the object reaches the desired point, get out of the roaster and cool as fast as above, depends on the quality of roasted and soluble sugars from these materials within the bean getting 'cooked' very specifically. Keeping the beans near additional heat (yes, even the beans nearby, releasing its heat energy) will continue to cook.
