The Art of Coffee Baking

After drinking a cup of fragrant coffee in a coffee shop, have you ever wondered how this coffee is made, what coffee beans look like before grinding, and how coffee beans are roasted? Now, it's not surprising to have a coffee roaster. Many boutique coffee shops have their own coffee roaster and their own coffee roaster, which makes coffee roasting technology develop and mature.

Have you ever wanted to know what a coffee roaster is? do you want to know what will happen in the roaster when you put the raw coffee beans in it?

Professional coffee bean roasters have said that coffee bean roasting is "a simple but at the same time the most complex aroma experience I have ever experienced."

Hearing such words, does it make you full of interest and expectation to the daily coffee? Let's hear what the baker has to say.

1. Coffee roasting is a technical activity.

You may have seen a coffee roaster but don't know how it works. Listen to me:

"the first step in coffee roasting is to put the coffee beans into a rotating roasting boiler where a strong hot air flows through the boiler at a temperature as high as 400 degrees. The coffee beans in the boiler will undergo thousands of chemical reactions and physical changes as the temperature rises, especially the Mena reaction (imagine a bread baking) and caramelization, until the coffee beans reach the correct aroma and sweetness. the coffee beans are almost ready.

Open the door cover in front of the machine, pour the heated coffee beans into a cooling plate, and stir until the temperature drops to room temperature.

two。 Coffee roasting is an art

When you cook or barbecue food, you can't make delicious food by following the recipe. In fact, gourmet cuisine is an art in which foodies combine years of knowledge, experience and personal intuition, and so is coffee roasting.

Some people may have the misconception that digital baking machines can solve all the problems and that we just need to do some cleaning work. In fact, however, even the best coffee roasters roast coffee beans based on the intuition they have accumulated with data and technology over the years. "

3. The depth of baked beans may also change the way you cook them.

Although making a good cup of coffee has a lot to do with the thickness and amount of powder, you will find that you are used to using different brewing equipment according to the depth of coffee bean roasting. For the same light-roasted coffee beans, some brewing equipment is much better than other ways.

4. Even coffee beans from the same region or origin can be roasted in a completely different way.

Even coffee from different origins, Ethiopia or Costa Rica, does not mean it should be roasted in the same way. In fact, there are many different factors that determine what kind of baking is used, such as variety, altitude and treatment process.

Two kinds of washed Ethiopian Yega Chuefei can be considered baking in the same way, but there will be a big difference between washed and naturally dried Yegashafi. So even coffee from the same farm with different heights can be roasted in different ways. "

5. Coffee roasters must know about coffee beans.

Coffee should be moderately roasted, overroasted and tasteless like dead ash. On the contrary, underbaked coffee is as tasteless as cereal or hay. "

It means that you have to understand the characteristics and origin of your roasted coffee beans. If they are not roasted correctly, even the beans baked from high-quality raw coffee beans are very bad. "
