How to bake commercial beans? What is the difference between commercial beans and fine coffee beans?

Market from the perspective of coffee market, coffee beans are mainly divided into two categories, commercial beans and boutique coffee beans.

Commercial beans are not very high-quality coffee beans themselves, with low quality and high defect rate. In terms of price, high-quality coffee beans are several times more expensive than commercial beans. From a cost point of view, of course, the profit margin of choosing commercial beans will be very large.

In terms of the flavor of individual beans, the taste of coffee obtained from commercial beans is much lower than that of high-quality coffee beans. Generally, commercial beans will be used for blending. After mixing beans, they can also be used to make coffee with good export taste.

First of all, before matching beans, we should first know the flavor of different varieties of coffee in the world, and beans have different characteristics according to their origin.

Brazilian coffee generally grows at an altitude of 1000-1300 meters above sea level, so its density is relatively low. Bourbon is mostly in the sun and half in the sun; the water content is moderate, the bean quality is soft, and the thickness from the bean surface to the bean core is thin, so it is not suitable for baking at too high temperature. The temperature on the inner wall of the boiler will scald the bean surface, so it will taste bitter.

At the same time, if we want to show the characteristics of good thickness of nuts, milk chocolate and alcohol, and serve as a matching base, we choose to throw beans over medium heat, keep the firepower to the stage of dehydration, and fine-tune as the temperature rises after the first explosion. promote the caramelization reaction more fully, heating up to near the second explosion can arrange beans.
