Coffee, as a popular drink, has a rich taste and aroma. To truly appreciate the deliciousness of coffee, roasting green beans is an indispensable step. By precisely controlling factors such as temperature, time and heat during the roasting process, the coffee beans can emit the best flavor.

1. Preparation before baking

Before roasting green beans, we need to do some preparation. The first is to choose the right green bean variety and origin. Coffee beans produced in different regions have their own unique flavor characteristics. For example, Brazilian coffee beans often have a nutty aroma, while Ethiopia is famous for its floral and fruity aroma.

The second step is to prepare baking equipment and materials. Common household baking equipment includes electric drum ovens, hand-cranked pots, etc. In addition, auxiliary tools such as weighing instruments and thermometers are also needed.

2. Control the heat

The most important point in the roasting process is to control the temperature. Different coffee bean varieties and flavors require different roasting degrees, which depends on the combination of temperature and time.

First, we need to put the green beans into the preheated furnace. In the initial stage, the fire should be moderate to fully develop the evaporation of the internal moisture of the coffee beans. As time goes by, we can gradually increase the fire to increase the temperature.

During the entire roasting process, we also need to constantly observe the color changes on the surface of the coffee beans and measure the internal temperature with a thermometer. When the ideal color and aroma are reached, the heating can be stopped and the temperature can be lowered.

3. Cooling and storage

After the Starbucks coffee beans are roasted, the next step is cooling. The roasted coffee beans are transferred to a well-ventilated container without odor pollution and quickly cooled.

Common methods include natural cooling and water cooling. Natural cooling is to place the container indoors and wait for it to cool down by itself, while water cooling is to place the container in cold water to accelerate the cooling.

After cooling, we need to store the coffee beans in a dry, cool place. It is best to use a sealed container to keep the coffee beans fresh and avoid contact with air, humidity and odor.

4. The Art of the Baker

Green bean roasting is a comprehensive art. In addition to mastering basic techniques, roasters also need to have rich experience and a keen sense of smell and taste to judge whether the coffee beans have reached the ideal state.

Different degrees of roasting will produce different flavor characteristics of coffee. Light roasting usually retains more original flavor, but has higher acidity; medium roasting can balance the bitter and sweet taste; dark roasting will produce a strong bitter taste.

Therefore, when roasting green beans, we can choose the degree that suits our taste according to personal preferences and tasting needs.

5. Enjoy the pleasure of coffee

By roasting green beans, we can perfectly bring out the flavor and aroma of coffee. Every cup of roasted coffee is a journey of taste.

When tasting, we can take a deep breath with our nose to feel its aroma, and then take a small sip to let the tongue fully feel its taste. Savor the changes and layers between them.

Whether it is a single item or blended coffee drinks such as latte, cappuccino, etc., their unique flavor can be better displayed after the raw beans are roasted.

Conclusion

Roasting green beans is an essential part of the journey to discover the deliciousness of coffee. By precisely controlling the temperature, cooling, and storage, we can bring ourselves a richer and more diverse coffee experience.

At the same time, remember to use your artistic creativity in this process and try coffee beans of different degrees and origins according to your personal preferences. Only in this way can you truly appreciate the infinite charm of coffee.
