Roast

Roasting is the process that converts raw green beans into coffee we drink. The roasting process is also responsible for the coffee's flavour color, aroma, and colour. The process of roasting requires a lot of skill and experience to regulate the temperature so that the beans don't burn or turn bitter.

During the roasting process, the beans lose some of their moisture and grow in size by as much as 55. The beans also begin to release carbon dioxide, which causes them to expand and crack. This is called the 1st Crack. The 1st Crack is where sugars start to caramelize and bound up water begins to escape. It's also the moment when the structure of the bean breaks and allows oils to escape from their pockets within the seeds. This is a crucial point during roasting and if rushed it could result in the coffee being damaged.

A well-roasted coffee will be full and rich of flavor, with a smooth, balanced profile. It will have a strong aftertaste, with minimal sourness but still retains the essence of bean. This is achieved by roasting beans until they turn a medium brown and have lost most of their moisture.

Once the seeds have been roast and cooled, they need to be cooled down as fast as is possible to stop them from continuing to roast and release more carbon dioxide.

Dose and Yield

One gram of ground coffee is used to create one shot of espresso. This means that the ratio of ground coffee to liquid espresso should be less than 1 kg coffee beans:2. The exact ratio depends on the density of your particular beans. Some coffees occupy more volume by weight than others when ground to the same size - that's why a precise scale is essential!

The temperature of the brew will also affect how you use your coffee beans. The ideal range is between 205-205 degrees Fahrenheit to 195 degrees. This is because the flavor compounds in your beans are optimally extracted in this range. A temperature that is higher or lower will affect the rate, amount and consistency of extraction as well as the texture, flavor and thickness of your crema.
