Know the roasting degree of coffee. What is the roasting curve of coffee?
Baking is a process of heating beans. Unbaked raw beans smell only a little grassy and slightly fruity, but taste almost meaningless. Through the heating process, baking causes a series of complex chemical changes inside the beans, which in turn releases the various flavors that were originally locked in the raw beans.

Pot coffee Loring Smart Roaster S15, the machine itself can provide an endless source of stable heat, full performance of the beautiful melody and melodious echo of the production area, better able to recover the waste gas produced by roasting, and remove the annoying smoke and smell produced by coffee roasting in the roasting process, it is the most environmentally friendly bean roaster at present.
With regard to the importance of coffee roasting, there is a saying that the baker determines 80% of the flavor, while the pot coffee thinks that the nature of the raw beans is good enough, and the baker will want to retain more local layers of origin, so the closer it is to the flavor of the producing area, it is not easy to take into account the roaster's baking style.
According to the different heating time and speed, it can be divided into different baking degrees. The most common and easiest method is to divide it into shallow, medium and deep ones, with the following features:
Shallow baked Light Roast
In recent years, the trend of boutique coffee is mostly towards shallow roasting, because shallow roasting can not only retain the most acidity and aroma, but also retain the most flavor from the producing areas, that is, the growing environment of coffee, which brings unique personality to beans. Coffee beans appear light brown in appearance and will not have a glossy finish.
Medium baked Medium Roast
Coffee beans to the degree of roasting, will begin to produce "caramelization" phenomenon, the acid begins to weaken, mellow taste stronger, so there is a sweet taste, coffee beans will have a little bit of oil on the surface.
Deep baked Dark Roast
The deeper the baking, the more you need to rely on the experience and skills of the baker, so the more you can show the personal color of the baker, usually with a thick taste and throat rhyme. The deeper the baking, the more obvious the bitterness, and the bean surface will be glossy, dark brown, or even close to charcoal black.
Small finishing: baking degree, flavor and caffeine
The shallower the more sour, the deeper the bitterness
The shallower it is, the more characteristics of the producing area are retained, and the deeper the bean baker is, the more personal display of the baker.
In principle, the deeper the caffeine content, the less it is.
The sound of baking
If you go to a coffee shop and there happens to be a bean roaster, it's easy to hear beans beeping as they are roasted. Coffee beans have two opportunities to make a sound when they are heated, which are called "first explosion" and "second explosion" (First Crack and Second Crack).
First explosion of First Crack
This is because of the heat, which produces a large amount of gas and water vapor inside the beans. when the internal pressure cannot hold up, the volume of the beans expands and then bursts. An explosion occurs when the baking temperature is about 196Mel 205 °C, and the sound is so loud that it sounds a bit like popcorn, judging that the beans have begun to reach the level of shallow baking. Between the first explosion and the second explosion, it belongs to medium baking.
Second explosion Second Crack
If the heating continues at this time, a relatively subtle sound belonging to the second explosion will be heard while the temperature continues to rise, and the baking temperature is about 225mi 230 °C. After the second explosion begins, the oil of the beans will surface, that is, the stage of deep baking. Curious you may wonder what will happen if you continue to bake. Of course, because of carbonization, it finally burned up.
Cooling
Roasted coffee beans must be cooled quickly to prevent self-baking. Professional bean roasting machines on the market now have special cooling trays, but when roasting in large quantities in multiple batches, it is still necessary to pay attention to the change of coffee temperature after roasting.
Static
Roasted coffee beans have different resting time requirements depending on the heating mode of the roasting machine, just like fried steak, the coffee flavor will be better after the roasting!
Roasting degree of pot coffee
Shallow baking: the first explosion starts ~ close to the second explosion.
Medium baking: end of first explosion ~ dense second explosion
Deep baking: second explosion dense ~ second explosion end
