Roasted Coffee

Types of Roasted Coffee Styles
The act of roasting coffee beans transforms the chemical properties of the bean, creating its recognizable flavor. The green coffee beans expand while changing color and smell. The more heat that the bean absorbs during the roasting process, the darker the color becomes. Initially, the bean goes from green to yellow, followed by a light brown that continually gets darker.
There are four roasted coffee color categories: light, medium, full roast, and dark. Each is distinctive in taste and flavor just as much as they are in color.
The typical roast for most mass-market American gourmet ground coffee producers is the "light" roasted beans. This level contains roasting styles such as "cinnamon roast," "half-city," "New England style," and "light city." The beans typically have a dry surface, and create a higher-acidity and lighter-bodied flavor. The roasting process for light roasted beans usually doesn't extend long after the "first crack," the moment when a coffee bean initially pops after several minutes of roasting.
The next roast, medium, contains roasting styles such as "American," "regular," "brown," and "breakfast." The beans are medium-brown in color, and the flavor is typically stronger than its lightly roasted counterparts. Some say the flavor is actually sweeter, with more of a body, a better balance over the acidity-taste, and a deeper complexity. However the beans due remain similar in the feel of their surface, which remains dry. This roast is the apparent preference of United States gourmet ground coffee sellers.
The next-darkest roast style is Full roast, which includes levels such as "high," "Viennese," "Italian Espresso," "Continental," and "Full City." This level is reached once the beans begin popping for a second time, called the second crack. The surface of Full Roast beans are typically shinier than the light or medium roast level beans, as the second crack has allowed oils to rise to the surface of the bean. The less-roasted beans didn't have an oily surface because they weren't heated long enough for the oils to break through to the surface. The taste is somewhat spicy, and even contains a slightly bittersweet aftertaste.
The darkest roast style is Dark, which is simply French Roasted Coffee. Following the second crack, the beans will begin to smoke while its sugars start to carbonize. The surface of dark roast bean will be extraordinarily oily, and the taste will contain zero of the inherent flavors of the bean. Instead, the flavor will be light-bodied while smokey-sweet, since the darker the roast is, the less acidity is found in the fresh roasted coffee.

Dark Roast Decaf Ground Coffee By Cafe Altura - 12oz. $10.59 Viennese style Mexican coffee decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process method. Roasted Coffee: Roasting can be explained simply as "the cooking of coffee". However, it is an art of an experienced roaster that brings out the best taste in coffee. Coffee beans are "green" and hard as rocks just before they are put into the roasting unit. Reaching temperatures of nearly 500 degrees, the beans darken as they "roast" and develop their flavor. Beans that are roasted longer tend to have a darker and stronger taste. Dark Roast: Often referred to as "Full-City" or "Viennese" this roast is sometimes preferred as an after-dinner drink. It is roasted slightly longer for just the right amount of hearty, full-bodied taste. |

Way That One Can Roast Coffee Beans
Coffee beans are roasted to bring about the right balance between the acidity and sweetness of the beans. In other words, the process of roasting the coffee beans brings out their inner characteristics and flavor. The level to which a coffee is roasted pretty much decides how the coffee will taste upon brewing. For instance, coffee beans that undergo light roasting usually have a light bodied and sweet tasting brew; whereas, a full bodied coffee with a chocolaty flavor is dark roasted.
Roasting coffee beans effects certain physical and chemical changes in the beans. These changes include the loss of moisture, caramelizing, change of color and expansion of the coffee beans. As the beans start to lose moisture and expand, they make a popping sound, which is termed as a "crack" in the coffee industry.
There are three basic levels of roasting as far as coffee beans are concerned. The Light Roast as mentioned before is used to derive a milder coffee, often sweet tasting. Then comes the Medium Roast that is the most commonly used roasting level for coffee beans. Here, roasted coffee beans are done at the second crack. The next and last level of roasting coffee beans is known as Dark Roasting where beans are roasted till they appear oily on the surface; which happens well beyond the second crack. Such roasting generally gives a very full bodied and strong brew.
Apart from the levels of Roasting, there are three main methods of
coffee bean roasting. One is an art, the second a science while the third is a combination of art and science.
Art Roasting is that technique of coffee roasting which has to be mastered through years and years of practice. Here the roast master can tell if a coffee is roasted to perfection simply by using his senses of sound, sight and smell. On the other hand, Science Roasting is where the roast master decides if a coffee is ready based on scientific data. Here the roast master looks at various data including time and temperature in order to ensure that there is uniformity of color among the different batches of roasted coffee beans. The third technique for roasting coffee beans is a fusion of both art as well as science. It is generally used for mass producing coffee beans.
Once the coffee beans are roasted, another process known as "cupping" is undertaken to ascertain the quality of the roasted beans. Here the coffee is tasted in a similar manner to tasting tea.
In this process, roasted coffee bean samples are extracted and measured in different cups. After that coffee beans from each cup are ground separately and then steeped in boiling water. Upon doing this the coffee grounds rise to the top and trap the aroma underneath. The cupper then removes the coffee grounds and smells the aroma. Last, the coffee is tasted and graded on various characteristics such as flavor, body, aroma, acidity and any defects in taste.
This step concludes the coffee bean roasting process, after which it is up to you, the coffee consumer to decide which type of roasted coffee beans suit your palate the best.
