In order to make the experiment more representative, we purchased two kinds of low-grade raw beans, namely, washed Ethiopia G2 and Colombia, and used the corresponding grade raw beans from the same producing area as the control group. When discussing the baking method, we realized that the raw beans after de-causation treatment need to be dried, and the way of drying is nothing more than heating up and quickly passing through the high temperature drying airflow. In fact, the air temperature during drying may be as high as 180℃, and the beans that have just finished the water bath are loose and soft, can we acquiesce that the purchased low-quality beans using Swiss water treatment already have a certain baking basis? We decided to add a set of experiments after conventional baking to increase the initial baking temperature, shorten the baking process and simulate the secondary baking process.
